Xangsamhua Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I was thinking the same about the Brissie V Melbourne game. One of the worst of the year. Any game Brissie wins can't be too bad! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstanley Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 This week winner is yours truly with 7/9. The big news this week is that Will27 has been toppled The new leader is Farmerjo with Gazman 2nd with the same score. I also suggest that after making your tips or any changes go back and check.

BookMan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Congrats Rip! I hope our 2 new leaders don't succomb to the inevitable pressure.

Xangsamhua Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Leppitsch and Roos on Etihad stadium and the roof: The coaches were also in concert in their dismay at how the spectacle was further eroded by the roof being open which led to players and umpires being affected by the sun throughout the afternoon. "Nah, terrible," Leppitsch said, adding that "to a man" the coaches were of the belief the roof should be shut at all times. "I spoke to the umpires before the game, they hate it. It's very difficult to look through shade and light and try to make an accurate decision. They probably won't admit to that, but they told me privately they're not happy making those calls." Roos said it was "bizarre", but incidental to Sunday's result. "I don't understand why it's not closed, regardless of the weather,'' he said. "An indoor venue, you spend however many hundreds of millions of dollars on it, and you leave the roof open."

It was a sunny day and we got what we thought were good seats at the eastern (Coventry) end. We both nearly burnt to death and were blinded by the sun. I had to buy a Fremantle hat to protect my head (a good hat, too; I wore it all round the Sates on a trip there in 2012 and was complimented on it in Washington DC). We couldn't believe how exposed and uncomfortable the section was in which we were seated, and it was quite expensive. There's no doubt the roof should be closed at all times. PS. In reference to the game yesterday, Leppitsch said that up to three quarter time it was the worst he'd ever seen.

In reference to the game yesterday, Leppitsch said that up to three quarter time it was the worst he'd ever seen. It seems like the AFL making up their own rule against the wishes of most of the games participants. Here is a quote from another article; AFL spokesman Patrick Keane confirmed it was the AFL's decision to open or close the roof, and he said it would only be closed for day games if rain was likely. "Other than that we leave the roof open because it's an outdoor game and we believe it's a better experience with the roof open compared to it closed," Keane told AFL.com.au. "Yes, we're aware that there's people that disagree with that at times. "But our view is that the roof should be open wherever possible for day games unless there's rain."

BookMan Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I would have liked to see Lindsay get 1 week for staging. That was a ridiculous display.

Makes me wonder at times when some players are allowed to get away with breaking the rules and others can't. It's a good point Ron. Umps have their favourites, we have all said it here before. There was a crackdown on taggers who were not watching the play, just the player, being penalised, and fair enough too. But, past indiscretions should not be held against you. All players should be seen as blobs rather than individual personalities 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
