2021 AFL season - Round 1, tips & banter

At the end of the day the father/son criteria is bullshit.
100 league games in any state is 100 games at the highest level in your state.
SA and WA shouldn't have signed off on it.
It should've been equal in any state.

The Port Adelaide Football Club has access to Port Adelaide Football Club Father-Son eligible players because it's the same club.

True, forgot about the Power, make it 8 clubs!

I laughed too but didn't want to encourage him.

They don't but the 2 SA AFL sides get 4 sides kids to choose from (with a pool of 10 teams of dads).

The WA AFL teams have 4 WAFL clubs aligned to each of the clubs.

Adelaide have 4 clubs aligned to them.

Port have Port Adelaide Football Club and other 4 clubs aligned.

Port actually have 6 in total (Woodville, Torrens, Central, West, North and the now defunct original PAFC) while the Crows have South, Glenelg, Norwood and Sturt.
I assume Port also have the current day Eagles making it 7 too?
Seems a bit lopsided or maybe it takes into account the shallow gene pool down the Port and west and north of town.
(PS Just kidding, I'm sure it has to do with the pre 90 for the Crows and 97 for Port and mathematically is around the mark)

Woodville-West Torrens, Norwood, South Adelaide and West Adelaide are alligned to Port. Not North or Centrals who along with Sturt and Glenelg are alligned to Adelaide,

Has it changed recently?

I laugh because I think he even believes his own poop sometimes, the home games in Queensland was top shelf.

This one is just a genuine troll attempt.

I had no idea the father son was so rorted by the SA WA clubs

This is how it should work and the only fair way it can work

Your father/ mother played 100 games for the CROWS
Your father/mother played 100 games for the POWER
Your father/ mother played 100 games for WC EAGLES
Your father/ mother played 100 games for FREMANTLE

I am happy for their to be a mother son rule too but I suspect many others wont.

What about a father/daughter rule?

Yep absolutely, I think they already have it.

Yes I was. Did not read closely enough. You would have to question why the two lots don't match.

Yeah it seems a bit weird on appearance, probably reasons for it though.

Sloppy administration and low care factor?

Dangerfield arguing high impact, not severe to minimise his suspension. His lawyer told the jury they should not take Kelly's broken nose into account because broken noses are so common.

Danger said he was protecting himself...what do you expect
They'll probably win that argument and get it to 2 games as expected...even though the down the ground footage shows him accelerate and launch at him

I hope we see all head clashes go to tribunal

That is a very naïve view
If you choose to bump, the responsibility is on you to not create a clash to your opponents head regardless how intentional it is.
If two players go up for a mark or go for a ground ball at the same time, and there is a head clash, completely different situation.

Danger gets 3 weeks as per the new legislation

Graded as severe impact and gets 3 weeks

That's what I thought he'd get but was expecting a reduction for a good record to bring it down to 2?
Doesn't that happen these days or is he not eligible for it?

[MW]

Thought he would have got 2 but that other footage gave him another week and made him look like a fool saying he was protecting himself
