Australian Football Stuff - not worthy of a thread

[Big Al]

Some fairly explosive allegations about conduct at Wanderers was posted on Twitter today- I wont post it here as if I was one of those named or alluded to I would sue the living shit out of the author. @adz - wouldnt be too smart to repost it here.

@Bay49Wanderers - be interesting to see how long it stays up

Yeah interesting to even post without crediting anyone. Some of it seems fact but elements seem emotional.

You can’t argue you were showing some else posted because there is no proof of that.

Taking on the big dogs. The guy who got the bans overturned or suspended goes from hero to zero in a week.

Zero surprises if it is mostly or even 51% true. Much like Bruce Lehrman being, on the balance of evidence, a rapist.

Playing in Asia is not for everyone

I mean this isn’t news. This has always been what the AFC’s stance was.

That said it is RIDICULOUS that Australia has gained 12 places in the coefficient rankings and LOST a continental place.

I for one would be ok being equal 1st at the end of the season at 53 points , only cos it’s one of my second teams (nix, reds)

With Bonza going into administration wonder how this impacts the Vuck given 777 is a major shareholder of the Vuck and lost $7m on the club last year. Might be why they don’t want to pay Popa so much next season. Ever since that Construction bloke passed away the Vuck’s financial position has been questionable.

Dont forget the loan that Danny gave them to fund Nani among other things.

f**k the vuck. Arguably the biggest club in the land and they're just as cooked as the jest.

So they're going to trial "live VAR" at the finals, with the ref also announcing the decision.

Not sure if that means the actual conversation will be broadcast, or if it's just a commitment to actually show the VAR footage on the broadcast.

It's a positive step, but we all know the problems with VAR go deeper.

I also think finals are the wrong time to make changes. Referees are under a heavy cognitive load already, adding something new just adds to their load and gives them something else to think about while they're making a decision in what's already one of their biggest, most important games of the season. Not the right time to change things.

It’s what they did at the WWC “Number ten handball, penalty”

That's true. Completely useless.

What they should do is talk through the entire play like in NRL.

I don't just want to know if Number ten handballed it. I want to know if VAR even considered the push in their back a few moments before.
