AFL - Terrible Ideas, Too Many Ideas, No Idea…

Oh and what a surprise, they have it in gridiron!

How long before we have timeouts?

$20 says these monitors don’t work as intended, and they go to those high-def, analog, portable screens known as “whiteboards” at some point this season.

And a towel/flag being thrown

“Consistent in clarity as images used in surgery…”

Last time I had an operation I don’t think the surgeon was looking at images from 90 metres away.

This is even worse than the Olympic swimming pools analogy.

I think we threw the flag (away) in 1999 prelim.

[WindsockBoy]

I like the bit they snuck in at the end about attempting to removing officials on the bench during the game. That will be the next great initiative to a problem nobody had.

Is there going to be a interchange cap on coaches/trainers/medical staff now too?

Yes
Already announced

Firstly

state-of-the-art LED boards

Lol

Secondly

To use the system effectively teams will need to work out how to communicate particular strategies by attaching them to particular symbol and then teaching the players to respond in a certain way to a specific symbol.

Thanks for spelling that out for us.

[BillyBewick]

Will they now get rid of the siren by beginning and ending each quarter with a green and chequered flag too?

[up_up]

Can’t see why we are getting rid of runners when one worked perfectly in last year’s GF.

[redbull]

Really sounds like they are producing an AFL for dummies guidebook.

as opposed to their goal review technology

Hard to keep track of all Hocking’s bull dust

Remember that brief moment after he was appointed that people thought Hocking might be good?

Yeah me neither

[smooth]

Hocking is just the puppet for Boiled Egg Eyes McLachlan’s hair-brained schemes. It’s embarrassing that the game’s governing body is so incompetent and out of touch with it’s constituency…

Isn’t that how lab rats are trained?

[SMJ]

Also, I would wager any amount of money on the following scenario:

1. Some weird restriction is put on when / how the boards can be used
2. Said restriction/rule will be policed by umpires with a free kick penalty or something
3. Rule is way over enforced by umpires leading to an outcry
4. Umpires told not to enforce rule and clubs told to use boards sparingly
5. Boards quietly removed from games with no explanation

All this should occur by about Round 10 I would think

I vaguely recall they were boasting about his recent connection to the game.
But forgot to do the requisite concussion testing.

“Symbols displayed by clubs from the boundary on state-of-the-art LED boards will revolutionise the way AFL coaches communicate messages mid-game to their team in 2019, with the new system set to kick off in the second round of the JLT Community Series”.

Nothing like allowing plenty of time for trial and assessment is there?

■■■■ ing idiots abound at the AFL.

With the addition of electric shocks- I hear there’s a horse trainer with some equipment going cheap.

I really wish I was a creative. Then I could get a job at the AFL and just make ■■■■ up.
