    Should We Bring Back The Draw

    I'd prefer they allow a draw, its a reasonable conclusion to the game, 1 point each is a fair result. If they keep golden point, eliminate drop goals from it and only allow tries and penalties as means of scoring. Would make for more attacking play than setting up for a drop goal 30m out from...

    Would be a silly option noting everyone's thirst for some sport at the moment. Simply has to go on the main channel, especially for those weeks when there is no direct competition. It's like they don't want the exposure down here when they do that.

    You can definitely feel here the AFL working behind the scenes to put something in place quickly, with an announcement due next week. Now the NRL are full steam ahead, they'd be keen to shorten the gap between the NRL and AFL start dates. But in terms of Victorian eyes, it will really depend on...

    The tighter restrictions in Vic will mean that there would need to be other states used if there is a re-commencement of the AFL competition and that has caused great consternation, especially with players with young or sick families. A delicate situation at the moment with some players...

    With the banning of crowds, would there be any thought to picking grounds across the states, that with appropriate professional facilities, also has visual appeal on TV, such as mountain backgrounds, coastal etc? Empty seats at the games, why not pick somewhere that has a potential for the best...

    All good tiger, I’m only upset if idiots like JAC and Cleary stop the comp starting again, I haven’t been able to donate my hard earned to Sportsbet for a couple of months, I miss it.

    Nice one Sherlock, what gave it away? When I literally said I followed AFL? Can’t enjoy both sports, it’s an either option? Sensitive merkins :)

    Such precious northern merkins can’t handle a standpoint different to their own :) If the NRL can pull it of then it’s a massive effort, especially with the warriors involved. It would mean a good 3-4 week jump on any other sport restarting. Just don’t need any more idiots putting it at risk.

    AFL players being classed as 'nobodies' is a reference to the fact they are not big names as the NRL players committing reaches. Heck I follow AFL and I had no idea who those Freo players are. My inference is that the higher the profile you have, the more protection you get from NRL/AFL...

    Conveniently forget to add the first line of my post to fit your angle? I put Cleary and the Freo nobodies in the same bucket but as I said, maybe an extra week for Cleary for being a dumb, lying idiot. You consider the actions of the 3 campers to be the same as Cleary and the Freo players? The...

    You know what, it might have been the same, had they not been riding dirt bikes without required protection and shooting firearms illegally, then making bullshit excuses when they were caught. The optics are very different. The Cleary/Freo situations seem the most like for like.

    Forgot to add $20k for lost match payments versus blokes free to play? Fines are much of a muchness for some blokes on $500k+ a year. I'm not questioning the fines, its the suspensions. Yes, soft.

    Based on the NRL's attitude to suspensions? Either 8 weeks or nothing at all. Doesn't seem to be much middle ground with 'bringing the game into disrepute' style conduct. They had a chance to send a message and blew it IMO.

    How is adding more weeks suspension going lighter? Good maths. Hunter's misdemeanor is no doubt the most dangerous and the suspension should reflect that. The fact the NRL players are facing criminal charges for their conduct indicates the seriousness their actions, but still don't think that's...

    So riding dirt bikes and shooting guns is having a house party? Right-o. Look, they all should be suspended across both codes to some degree, to send a message to the rest to pull their heads in so there's no danger or pressure on restarting the comp. I'd have had: AFL Lachie Hunter 6-8 weeks...

    Of which 60% if the fines are suspended, the point I was making. NRL stars Latrell Mitchell, Josh Addo-Carr, Nathan Cleary and Tyronne Roberts-Davis have been hit with fines ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 for breaking COVID-19 social distancing restrictions. Addo-Carr and Mitchell will receive a...

    If you're quoting like for like including suspended fines, the AFL player got $20k in total fines plus loss of match payments for the 4 game suspension which is a further $20k in match payments. He is fortunate not to be locked up, it was a stupid and reckless act. But the point remains that...

    The facts of the AFL situation are no secret so it's not 'my' story. He got what he deserved, no arguments from me. The NRL went full soft cock on these blokes and sends a message to the rest that they can pretty much do whatever they like if they can afford a fine.
