Grand final Sprint- Prestia šŸ˜³

Makes a mockery of the event. Honestly poor effort from the club.
I thought it was a great response from the club. Itā€™s a big ā€˜up hoursā€™ to the AFL . Iā€™m guessing its compulsory for clubs to be represented, so we send our message ā€œif you canā€™t treat our club with the respect afforded other clubs then you get nothing from usā€.

What specifically are we giving the AFL 'up yours' for? I mean it is a long list but does anyone know why we are snubbing the grand final sprint? Connor sends his regards!

How were we treated any different to other clubs in this regard?

I donā€™t like it when people humiliate themselves or their organisation to make a statement and a weak one at that.
Basically another embarrassing memory to add to all the other ones this year.

I can feel the AFL shivering at our audacity from here. If it was an 'up yours' statement which I doubt all it will do is give the AFL an incentive to make up a new rule to fine us for our audacity.

It wouldnā€™t surprise me in the slightest if the AFL fined us for something so trivial, theyā€™ve been doing that for years now with little or no path to complain. I donā€™t really think it was our intention to poke the bear, but if it was, I thought it was pretty funny.

If he didn't pull up before the line he was a chance for 7th place :ROFLMAO:

Could also be a case of between those overseas and those in rehab/getting surgery, that there wasn't many to choose from.

I'm not sure why everyone's so upset. It's a circus sideshow to fill in half time. I thought I saw somewhere GWS didn't even have a participant, although not sure if it's accurate. Hardly even worth a thread here. Much bigger fish to fry than this stuff. Bring on trade week and the draft ASAP please.

I donā€™t see how they could fine us. We entered a player, he lined up, he ran, he ran poorly. It happens.

Dumb. No logical reason. Another bizarre decision in a baffling year.

Need to get past this crap and build momentum.

Exactly right. Probably just another GAGF gesture from us to the Gestapo.

Strip us of draft picks.
Bringing the game into disrepute.
