Re: AFL 2022
Maybe not, but after watching their latest "effort" I can't see who they may beat in the near future. Missing Merrett & Stringer (amongst others) big time.

Re: AFL 2022
Why is it more stupid rules come in to ruin games? A player "gestures" amazement at a stupid umpiring decision, and it's 50 metre penalty?
I give up.
VAR ruining football, now AFL are hell bent on over-sanitising the game.
Punting going way up the ladder in my sporting interests these days.

Re: AFL 2022
I wonder if Brad Scott spoke to anyone including the umpires or was it a captains call. I can imagine Italian soccer players being penalised for throwing their arms in the air.

Re: AFL 2022
cant understand why the Crows gave Stengle away for nothing........no probs with standing him down and not playing him but why delist him and get nothing. 40+ goals per season from a specialist forward pocket is a big loss.....

Re: AFL 2022
2 drink driving charges and found with an illicit drug in one season would be a big reason to sack / axe / delist a player

Re: AFL 2022
i get that.......why did we delist him though and get nothing for him. By all means, lets get rid of him but get something in return....

Re: AFL 2022

Re: AFL 2022
keep him on the list long enough to trade him and get something in return......my issue is getting nothing for him and Geelong have themselves a 40-50 goal a year forward for nothing
not sure how much clearer i can make it....

Re: AFL 2022
Who else have they delisted and been picked up elsewhere? Ed Curnow. Who is at Carlton. That's it (Tom Lynch retired and is only at Norf as a player to save money from coaching). The other 15 players were traded.
Who delisted Levi Casboult for free, and Suns picked him up for free and has kicked goals in every round.
The suns delisted Hugh Greenwood & Jarryd Lyons - who went to North/Brisbane for free.
Brisbane delisted Ben Keays & Mitch Hinge - free to Crows. Wow, it's a full circle now. It's as if it's a league wide practice.
Almost a quarter of the players on AFL lists have played at another club (24.4%)

Re: AFL 2022
I was more talking about the Crows losing players hand over first, obviously the culture at the club is not for one to stick around, look at Charlie Saturday night he ripped us a new one, Gunstan has been a thorn in our side every time we play the Hawks, the list goes on and on and one, and i get that there is a lot of turnover in the AFL but the Crows would be right up there is leading the pack

Re: AFL 2022
Yep its definitely a big issue with fall crowd in many sports. More people are relying on watching games on TV and or people are dropping off from watching altogether.ozzie owl wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 8:55 am AFL crowds fell by more than 360,000 this season, despite 11 extra games.

Re: AFL 2022
Big Bash is the next one in the spotlight with CA really worried as crowd and ratings have dived significantly . With the next TV deal only two years away if the BBL fails to recover, CA could face significant drop in its next tv deal. This in turn will impact on players as contracts linked to revenue in the game.Cooper wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 9:30 amYep its definitely a big issue with fall crowd in many sports.

Re: AFL 2022
The average AFL attendance for 2022 after 90 matches is 30,517, the smallest since 1996 when an average 29,637 went to games, according to AFL Tables. This year's figure is also well below the 2019 pre-pandemic average of 35,122 across the full season.
