The Optus/EPL debacle aside, that's one of the worst broadcasting policies I've ever seen. It's absolutely horrific.

Guaranteed Foxtel have their fingerprints on this. They're trying to protect an extremely out of date business model and are terrified of streaming. That bloke in Brisbane with the Mundine fight proved that.

Schlesische posted:Not really, no. Yeah got going about halfway through. We are one-dimensional but that one dimension still wins a lot. We got lucky with the draw last year and one of the best individual seasons I've ever seen In Danger. No way can we replicate second. We're a 5-8 side IMO.

The thing about the AFLW GF (and early Lions home games) not being at the Gabba is that it's not actually the AFL's fault. They're getting strong armed by cricket in the only state that can happen. The curator is saying Adele ruined the pitch area and he needs to spend some time fixing the turf she apparently wrecked to ensure the pitch for the first Ashes Test later this year is ok.

Testekill posted:It makes me laugh that people still trot out the finished 7th thing. Besides the fact that we won four finals in a row, we went into the final match against Freo not giving a poo poo because Adelaide laying down like bitches after losing Sloane meant that winning would have made no difference on where we placed. It's weird to think that the next challenge for the reigning premiers is to finish in the top four

Brisbane Can't see how Melbourne and St Kilda finish in the top eight. Also think Collingwood, Richmond and Port will have to can their coaches this year

This goal was loving sick. High degree of difficulty for every part of the move. I agree he'll have a big season. Also the Cats were marginally less poo poo than Melbourne today. I reckon our field kicking wasn't much better than their goal kicking. Taylor simply must play in defence.

Basically footy media is half good. Avoid anything with Damian Barrett or Craig Hutchison. I personally reckon Hutchy and Barrett's podcast is a really good resource for learning about the footy/sport media. They do love to self-congratulate though so you need a fairly strong constitution

The Deadly Hume posted:Yeah, but that was like the second best home-and-away game of the 00s (best was the huge comeback by Essendon against North) so that's understandable. IMO it's the best home and away game ever played. Two absolute heavyweights swinging haymakers.

markgreyam posted:Adelaide are an objectively good team and Richmond are an objectively meh team. If your biggest problem is only dominating three quarters instead of four you're going ok. Anyway I missed the second half because I was at the last half hour of the Melbourne Victory game but it looks like the same old Richmond story to me - go missing completely as soon as the whips crack. As soon as the going gets tough their on-field leaders disappear
