AFL media

[Corona Man]

Surprised that there has been no comment about the inclusion of AA umpires last night. While I don’t have a huge issue with that, I wonder if that is better recognized at the umpires awards? The 3 umps last night looked a little uncomfortable with it to me.

It did have me thinking, surely this team (not that they actually play) needs a coach. So why not name the AA coach too?

Why stop there? The AA team surely needs:- Runner, Physio, Fitness Coach, Forward, Back & Mids coaches , CEO, list manager, property steward, boot studder, media manager….. then there’s the very important category of Bogan fan - just think who could be in line for selection here.. the likes of Catman, Joffa, that old bloke from the swans, hell who knows, maybe even our own 119 guernsey wearing site admin…

I know AA is now built into player contacts etc so it has a level of performance but this kind of stuff is just for the media.

Sells papers, creates content, engages hits, likes, reacts.

It’s just a clever marketing scheme to have more talking points about the game increasing the leverage of the AFL.

Kath!!!!

If you look hard enough I think you can see her nipples

A friend just asked me "who we talking about?"

Kath Loughnan. Hopefully someone puts up a pic.

The players are judged upon (somewhat) measurable performances. How do the umpires get selected?

I agree about the coach but don't agree with everything else (realising it was tongue in cheek).

I may be on my own here but she does absolutely nothing for me…

I’d probably give her one if she asked me nicely.

Nah, got a bit of a hyena lid I reckon but I have low standards.

Isn't Kath the one that was the subject of Tom Morris' texts that saw him sacked from Fox Footy???

That was Megan Barnard.

That was Megan Barnard.

Mmmmm, now we're talking.

Love Tomahawk but surely Gawns or Cripps should be Captain? (Gawn for me)
Even Tom Stewart is a VC where Hawk isn't.
What's the go there?
Do they now just give it to the person who has got in the team the most?

Same. I reckon Cripps should have been captain. He has a Selwood like ability to will his team over the line and nearly did it again on Sunday.

REB

Yeah but he didn't.

You’ll have to chop it off to be any chance

Almost worth the sacrifice

I agree - he played a boomer last Sunday. Great game

Gawn for me too. 6 time all Australian is some feat.

I don't understand giving it to someone who isn't captain of their club. However I assume one day there will be no club captain selected to give it to. Till then, it should go to the most appropriate club captain. For me, that's Gawny. In fact I'd go as far as saying that it is a bit of a snub not to give it to him.

Only a cupla centimeter variance anyway.

Don't they get first dibs on the international rules.

I have no issue with it at all. This team doesn't play a match so the captain call isn't that important. Gawn was skipper last year, share the love. Its a great honour to a statesman of the game who is pretty well universally loved within the comp.
