Re: Blues Brothers trip to the tribunal
Reply #163 –
As a curiosity, how do we plan for Sunday's game?
- 2 players, regular 22, cited on Monday.
- start considering alternatives for replacements/tweak to game plan (eg kick it to Charlie won't work)
- get relief at the tribunal (kick it to Charlie will work again)
- appeal lodged - 2 days twiddle thumbs (waiting to find out if we kick it to Charlie or not)
- Thurs 3pm start the planning for Sunday
It is different to an injury, as there isn't intimate knowledge about which outcome is more likely (eg we hope Murph will get up, but we know he is a 30% chance to play)
This particular AFL administration cares naught for such things. The fact that it's the CFC they're treating like 2nd class citizens (creating disruption to planning) is a bonus.
If this present AFL administration was a football team, they'd have been relegated to a much lower league long ago.
If this present AFL administration was a business with a reasonable product in a highly competitive market, they'd have gone broke long ago. Said it before and I'll say it again, they're lucky they have a great product... tiny jockey's on massive horses.
