McLachlan and Hocking must resign!

[mad_tiggy911]

Entitled clowns changing the game because they can. The bright side is the changes will backfire and it will be another nail on Gil the Dil's coffin.

We are effectively in our window and they conveniently want to bring in such drastic change to nullify our teams strengths. I'm disgusted and will be furious if the proposed changes go through. We've waited 37 years to be great again. The idiots really only need to reduce the interchange.

I can hack some of the interpretations and the runner/waterboy changes but the rest is a joke and better not happen.

 

[TigerMasochist]

But but but, they're fixing everything that's broken. It'll be wonderful going to the G n trying to comprehend an entirely new game. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll bear some resemblance to the game I used to watch in the sixties n seventies, at least that way I might nearly understand some of what's going on during the game.

 

[TigerForce]

What a joke. If these changes stand I'm done with footy. It'll be a new sport.

We really have broken football.

The aim is to promote scoring and stifle team defence. The defence part is what we do better than any other club and these loonies on the panel can't hack it.

Same here. I'm glad that at least we won the flag which is an achievement I wanted to see as a long-time supporter, all before I leave this once beautiful game.

 

[jb03]

I'm not sure how a 6 6 6 setup after a goal helps congestion. There is only 4 from each team allowed in the middle anyway.

 

[silvertiger]

We all love our footy.

The movement by those chosen to look after our great game should hang there heads in shame.

The proposed rule changes are not necessary and will only further take our great indigenous game further from what it is,
The greatest game in the world.

I urge everyone to make noise and show your disgust at what is being considered.

I don't thing complaining and whinging on talk back is going to be enough. This is bigger than our beloved Tigers.

I proposal supporters unite and do not attend the first game next year. We need action.....not words. Pre-empt with a poll of how many supporters will boycott the first round in light of these fascist flogs ruining our game.

Screw the commission and screw knob Gillon.

 

[TT33]

If this stupidity is brought in for next season, it'll be bye bye afl for me. It'll also be bye bye Foxtel because I'll have no need for it. The footy is the only reason I keep my subscription going.

So the idiots will efectively have ruined the game & contributed to Foxtel losing many many subscriptions.

It's quite obvious that the muppets who've come up with these ideas have not taken into account the full ramifications of the stupidity they are proposing.

The media and the PC brigade have ruined footy at the behest of the Corporates, this Commission is also pushing the social engineering agenda on the masses also and has politicised the one thing that united most Aussies and Victorians their love of their game..

The Fans dollar at the turnsiles no longer has ther power of decades poast.

Thye TV and Corporates pay the bills now and provide the big $$.

They own the game and the Kommissars are doing as their handlers tell them to do.

The Puppet masters are not getting enough Advertising during games as there are less goals apparantly, so we need goals goals goals to increase the ads ads ads, to increase the $$$.

Contrived bastards.

 

[MalenyTiger]

I suggest that fans write to the AFL Commission stating their position on these ridiculous changes. Perhaps if enough fans make a noise they might reject the proposed changes.

TV audiences will drop off too.

 

[tigerman]

Can't wait to see, after a behind, someone turn on his heel and kick backwards to a teammate standing near the behind post.
******* clowns are making the game a laughing stock. Smucks like Whateley and Slobbo are drooling.

Anyone actually stopped to consider that the talking heads pushing this *smile* like Whately, Maher, Robbo, blaah blaah blaah, are pushing the narrative that has been written and provided for them to push.

The fan in the street isnt whinging about football, they are disenfranchesd by this *smile* that these suits are force feeding them.

 

[craig]

They are setting the AFL up for a Superleague type breakaway scenario down the track or USA style division competition.

This is in the interests of corporates like Hutchy the prick who have their own grubby little mitts all over it whilst they fund their own self interests, and bleed our great game to death.

what the bloody hell have the Pc brigade have to do with these rule changes? NOTHING. You're barking up the wrong tree. Its the the broadcasters wanting more ads, this whole thing stinks.

I just sent this email to [email protected]

Dear AFL Commissioners
As a 56 year old who has watched and loved our great game all my life I appeal to you to reject the current changes proposed for the game, especially the proposed 18 m goal 'square' and the 6-6-6 starting positions. The game is a great spectacle and does not need these ridiculous changes to improve it as a spectacle.

The only changes that will assist our game as a spectacle is to get rid of the rule that requires teams to nominate a ruckman at ball-up contests.This nonsensical rule slows the game down and actually increases congestion. If umpires were instructed to throw the ball up as quickly as possible teams would need to respond more quickly and less congestion would result.

The other rules that need to be 'clarified' are the' holding the ball' and 'incorrect disposal rules'. If umpires, coaches and players were given greater clarity around the interpretation of these rules I am sure it would result in better umpiring and greater flow of pay. Fans understand that our game is a hard, fast and often difficult game for umpires to always adjudicate correctly, but having fewer inconsistencies in umpiring decisions will help improve it as a spectacle.

I am a paid Richmond member and have seen my team go through many years of failure. We are now a top team and I find it extremely unreasonable that the "rule makers" all of a sudden want to change the game when Richmond is playing its best football. I am not a conspiracist but this is a little too coincidental.

I appeal to your common sense to leave our great game alone and allow it to evolve naturally by the teams that are most innovative and creative. Allow the best teams to lead the way - do not force them down a path of conformity to reactive, unnecessary knee-jerk actions from the game's hierarchy.

Please confirm that the AFL Commission has received my email.

I think you’ve nailed it!

A boycott of round 1 next year might just be the way to get our point across.

We need to tell
Benny and Peggy to unfurl our 12th premiership flag in round 2 though!!

Umm i clearly stated exactly that re Corporate Puppet Masters demands for maximum revenue in return for sponsorship and Advertising Dollars being the true agenda behind this push, but he AFL has also politicised the game and many don't like the way the game has been used to push social engineering agendas on the masses.

They are separate agendas but are both going to disenfranchise many fans.

Anyone who disagrees that the AFL are politicising the game is an imbecile.

Anyone who thinks the Corporates are not pulling the strings on Der Kommissars in AFL House is an even bigger imbecile.

 

[Leysy Days]

Cannot stand the rule changes, and cannot stand even more the current elitist pompous hierarchy.

Saying that, these rule changes are going to have absolute minimal effect next year.

Don't stress folks, at least not for 2019.
