The only negative... FFS sound people get a fckng mixer and drive all mics through it so we can hear the damn questions!!!!!
This has come up before (maybe by you) on this site and I whole heartily agree. In fact I even sent a msg to the AFL about this today. It really cannot be that hard.
I'm mixed on the Wines penalty, I understand the AFL's position on this, but I think 3 weeks is a bit steep. I agree that players should have a responsibility to those around them, but I think players should also have some awareness to be prepared for unexpected contact.
I think it's crazy that the AFL stance is effectively making others 100% responsible and liable for your welfare.
I think just a week or two would have been enough.
btw., I've heard that Lord was in another separate incident that actually copped him high, so how do you assign a delayed concussion to one incident and not another? It will be interesting to see what comes out.
I too thought 3 weeks was a bit heavy. Just seemed like a late bump. Did he actually get Lord high? Didn't look it to me. Maybe hit his head on the ground. It seems the penalty is based on the damage done, especially if you elect to bump. Plenty of bumps like that end up with no serious outcome.
This was tough (other than the team rating) - usually base my votes on my view/memory of the game plus some input/help from AFL stats. This week it was more stats based than memory as mostly I remember it being a horrible team performance with very little that was positive. Team F Hewitt 5 Haynes 4 Hollands 3 Fantasia 2 Doc 1
Team D - good 1st Q but hardly quality opposition - last 3 Qs very very ordinary - worst game I've seen for a while - found it really hard to watch. Cerra 3 Hewitt 3 Hollands 2 Saad 2 Carrol 1 Binns 1 Haynes 1 Cincotta 1 Fogarty 1
Can you be a beautiful mover on the football field and still have little impact-Ashton Moir.
Moir was one who I was really hoping (and somewhat expecting) to really step up this year. I was thinking maybe 10 games for the year. Not looking too promising at this stage.
