I know the OFFICIAL reason for the Grand Final to be Held in Brisbane... and Brisbane is a good place to visit and a good place to watch a game...the weather this way is always perfect 

 

However, I feel there was more to the decision than simple quarantine regs...

 

If West Coast or Adelaide held the  GF, it would attract a lot of interest in those cities...Besides the fact there isn't very much to do in those places ,Perth has almost open slather on socialising and there would be pre crowds and game crowds and all sorts of excitement  with a possibility that WEST COAST COULD play.

A Home GRAND FInal OUTSIDE of Melbourne!  

 

SO, my theory in part is.. The Afl doesn't want to have a Grand final in Perth or Adelaide because it would be a BIG success and that in turn would have supporters in those states, and by default Sydney and Brissie, ever increasingly asking about the 100 year deal the AFL board signed with the MCG.  

 

Brisbane will be less of a success and that's how the AFL boffins want it to roll

 

Oops.

I reckon WA and SA were never in the running TBH.

 

The AFL want to grow the game in Qld and not give the other "footy" states any ideas about holding it in the future.

Richmond players Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones have been suspended for 10 matches and sent home from Queensland, after breaching the AFL’s return to play protocols. @AFLcomau

That's it for another round gang.

 

Grannyapples get's the Freddo Frogs for picking 5.

No change at the top.

 

Starts again tomorrow.

Big penalty for a couple of players who were on the outer anyway...
I imagine if it was  BIG name player it would be a different penalty

 

Stack back to Perth next years and into the willing arms of the Eagles

The penalty was deserved but I agree.

If it was Dusty Martin and Tom Lynch for example, they would've been available for finals.

 

West Coast are a risk adverse club.

The didn't look at Stack when they could've got him for free because of behaviour problems.

They wouldn't touch him with a barge pole now.

Another breach by any Richmond official or player results in POSSIBLE points deduction and draft selection penalty.

I'm guessing losing a 4th round draft pick ????

Further to the Richmond saga...

AFL players association has come out and said that the club can't force the players to pay the fine.... GIven both players are probably on low money, $37k each is quite a bit.

SYdney Stack has plenty of potential and could be a $44-500k a year player... if he doesn't get contracted he could be losing millions for a night at a strip club and some booze.

 

West Coast or Freo might end up signing both Stack and Elijah Taylor from the Swans

Yep, the AFLPA were always going to step in.

 

It's a hard one as Stack is reportedly on about $150 000 with match payments.

Then you have to deduct tax.

 

Cannot compare to Cotchin who is more than likely on $800 000 plus.

[farmerjo]

On the Stack episode,i say make him pay.

You can't hide from cctv these days.

And in breaking news another one of the cousins is in deep water.

Well the lefties commo's and nuckle heads were out in force yesterday, 200 of them 15 arrested....stick em in jail and give a dose of corvid-19 plz....Some people just dont like to take orders do they? Bet they were mainly Green voters too.... I dont know what people think honestly, I hate the Greens.......normally associated with University Professors and mangers with nice salaries who can afford to pay more for there electricity and things pushing there view on to us all....shame on them....but hey....then you have the die heart labour voters like one i met at dinner just before we went into lockdown again, an old BLF builders labourer union member of the brainless type who actually believe the Labour party is the workers party....can you believe? Well im a stirrer at heart and i didn't think id see him again so you know  i needed to entertain myself, he had the memory ....... well he didnt have a memory couldnt even join the dots together so intelligent was he, i brought up when Hawke and Keating and i did like them both and i did like there theory they brought in the only trouble was it destroyed us and it didnt really work when i reminded the table that it was labour that tossed out salary indexation hence why the middle class are now suffering in AU he ignored me as you would expect from someone in denial when 3 women nodded in approval....anyway i did mange a few times to get a reaction out of him....so you know it was worth going too that boring dinner.....

 

I dont exactly adhere to the trickle down effect either.....nor the just in time method but they work, they work a lot better than socialist ideals and practice, so where am i? i should be on an island alone with 4 bikini clad 20 somethings thats where....so where are we Fj? you and me are right down in that deep never ending black hole....North....suck big time....Dee's suck even more, im so over..."our brand" what is "our brand"? They keep talking about our brand, where we want to be, our brand is underachieving thats what it is......Even in FM20....you can search for players with certain types of mentality, and this is a frigging game, instead of drafting pussys go after some knuckle....Honestly Gawn is not a captain, hope he leaves when his FA for him comes around, this guy will tie up the captains job for the next 8 ys, another pussy like Neitta.....smiles a lot on the ground you know.....well forget jack, was looking to slip into the elite class, nope not as good as the old man, its already as plain as the nose on your face isnt it? May should be captain...

 

Im all for digging up Allen jeans for coach next year...wont cost a cent so they can pay out Goodwin....OMG 2 more years of "our brand" dont think i can take it.....

North are reminding me of the little league days.

You know when the portable goal posts were put up across the ground.

And if they do look like entering the forward fifty it's wait till there is 36 players in there and kick the ball in high.

Shaw needs to take a leaf out of the Hinkley playbook.

If the skills are not there to trust one on one contests,play dirty footy,scrubber it forward.

You would be amazed if they trained it how much more effective it would be if the players are on the same wavelength.

I'd be holding off putting a line through him just yet.

 

The girlfriend wouldn't be the first 19 year old to go off and make something up to get attention.

Having said that, it doesn't look good though.

One has to smile. Who coined Mercedes party mode! 
 

Have they pulled a fast one over the FIA and the other teams?
 

if Ferrari would’ve had this so-called party mode, Would the FIA have made any changes.

 

it could be a very interesting race this afternoon.

 

 

[Radar501]

This is the same Lekahni Pearce who reportedly crossed a golf course and jumped two fences to reach Elijah Taylor inside the Swans’ quarantine zone in Perth a few weeks ago.   And now goes on social media complaining that he is 'nothing but an abusive dog'?? 

 

She does not appear to be putting in a huge effort to escape from such a toxic relationship.

Hey they coppied Melbourne, these days we cant even get it into the forward 50.....look its very simple.....Allen Jeans said it back in the late 80s or early 90's....his idea of football was very simple...."either they have the ball or you have the ball" doesnt take any brain power to work out ifyou dont have the ball your not going to be kicking a winning score....

 

3 up no one down = No Crummers, no one leads in the forwad 50 = no goals scored, no one leads anywhere = no getting the ball......simple maths mate....

 

Running into open space and makeing position is foreign to many of them....give the guy with the ball a target is like duhhhhhhh....and you know that old fashioned run and carry and run in waves....not compute, duhhhhhhh..... then theres like cover your man.....stand on his toes....some niggling would not go astray, how about about a few guys take there man for a run around the park if there dominating them....they use to do that in the old days...its called taking him out of the game....

 

Well at comedy house Demonland my biggest grip is 1, 2 or 3 up no crummers 2, shooting off a hand pass to a guy in a worse position, Oliver was doing great for a bout a month decided to burst out of the pack with some run and carry and open up the play....last 2 weeks he is back to his old ways...

 

It has to be the coaching no?

There was a camera shot in the Melbourne coaches box of Alan Richardson and Goody.

It looked a bit like Dumb and Dumber TBH.

 

Why Melbourne would go and recruit Richardson as an assistant coached is amazing.

He was an absolute spud at St Kilda.
