I've wondered about this.Why, why, why, does the media show a picture of the Richmond bench when it talks about Medi-Sub Rule changes for 2023?
Richmond, The Football Club where all AFL rule changes are based
Rule changes: Medi-sub set for 2023 overhaul
The AFL will review how the medical sub operates to ease fears of club doctors being pressured to make calls on injured players. SUBSCRIBE to see how it could look next year.
Is it to do with your cookies or something (I'm not a computer expert btw)? I find if I'm searching for something, then go to a news website, all of a sudden there are ads for websites I've been searching on.
Maybe the Hun (I'm assuming it's the HUN, I'm not a subscriber) or whoever website looks at your cookies, sees some Richmond stuff, and puts up a pick of Dusty. Are Collingwood supporters getting pics of Ginnivan and going "*smile* herald sun hates us"
I dunno.
either way, AFL media are *smile*
Baloo said it might be how it works, but I confirmed this with a Scumwood supporter at work last year and his PC still showed Richmond.
Insinuates that Richmond are the main rorters of the medi-sub rule, actually it all started with Richmond when we scandalously subbed Vlaustin out for a minor injury that saw him miss 6 weeks.
Correction. He wasn’t subbed out for a minor injury, he was subbed out for a non existent fake injury…………………….that saw him miss 6 weeks
at least according to the media
Mind you, silvagni was subbed out the same game and played the following week, but crickets from the media about that
We have the highest membership in the state. 2nd highest in the league.
They want to sell papers.
They target the market that they think will get people to buy the most of these said papers.
There's no conspiracy. I've said before on these forums, that (when we were crap) the Herald-Sun sports Editor (not Footy, but all sports)
told me that they sell the most amount of papers when Essendon were on the back page. They were always near the top of Victorian Membership
numbers. This was on a flight back from London, after the Olympic games and before the drugs saga.
When supporters are interested in their team, they buy more of everything about them, including Newspapers.

I refuse to buy a HS and I'm on verge of pissing off Foxtel which I've had for over 20yrs.
I'm going to pay to read and listen to negative Richmond shiit every chance they get.

This is the thing..
It's not just 'Richmond' that they think sells news. It's 'negative Richmond'.
I *smile* off the HUN years ago. Who would buy that crap paper as a Tiger's supporter with Robbo as the chief?

The afl always fudges the over 100 000 figures a little, gws gf was 100014,so they just added a small increase ,yes the game was legitimately over 100,000 but the figure over that is creative.
Agree little zig ,refuse to.watch fox footy this week,boycott sen,not reading herald sun this week.
U only have to go back and read, listen to all mainstream media on last years ccj trade senario,everyone from Sam Edmund to herald sun biastly stated, cj can go to North in pre season draft so Richmond will be lucky to get pick in 30s ,in reality we were always getting pick 19.

They didn't take the figures at 3/4 time that for sure. Couple of mates and me, pub bound. *smile* Geelong.
End of first round. Unlike other clubs whose were directly after their first picks, or like Kreuzer who was a priority pick AHEAD of our pick when we finished last!
Thanks for that. Perfect rebuttal IMO. How many priority picks too for RFC, over all the 'forgotten years'?
20 years and you are still on the verge, must be really bad.
That's actually not accurate.
We had one pick then, not two. We traded a pick to Footscray for McMahon. If we'd had two picks, you could possibly say Rance - but the second pick was going to be Scott Selwood.
That's not a great gift at all.
