Does Geelong high scoring year last year reflect the lack of games at Kardinia Park?

Not sure, but if anyone doubts the ridiculous advantage that they get at Krap dinner park, take a look at an article on the AFL website that shows each team and the longest losing streaks at certain grounds. Nearly half of the AFL have their longest losing streaks there. Massive, massive advantage having a completely different shape to pretty much every ground.
Yeah it's about the 6-6-6 trial. At least there was a trial for the 2019 changes, however skimpy.
The changes were coming in regardless of any trial.
Decent podcast that, but they simply will not challenge the AFL on their woeful rule changes which have not had the impact that the AFL themselves claimed they would.
Hey, if something doesn't work, surely you then analyse whether you need to change what you did and possibly reverse the ineffective changes? Unfortunately not common anywhere, let alone the AFL. Is change, is good seems to be the prevailing view in so many places (been restructured lately - was it positive??).
The media do seem to be all in on the idea that we need to keep fiddling with and changing the game. I don't get it. The AFL is successful, crowds were healthy and ratings high before COVID. Now is not the time to fiddle with fundamentals of the game like the fact it is a 360 degree game, quite unique in that sense, and all these restrictions on movement are at odds with some very fundamental aspects of our football code.

What about the Shemons. Everyone is talking them up.
For 85, against 65. Anyone raising this as to how to stop their defensive stranglehold. Their games are ranked 15th for average total scores.
The only stat that matters is "Dustin Martin Moments". This was what they hung the recent rule changes on. "More Dustin Martin moments".
Have we seen more "Dustin Martin moments"?
Stupid *smile*!
He wants Dustin Martin moments . . . just doesn't want Dustin Martin doing them, or at least not in a Richmond jumper.

Did you like how Scott used the same line when arguing for shorter quarters?
"I want to see Dusty playing at 35."
Sure you do, just like you enjoyed the grand final result.
Yep for sure DS.
We won't know exactly the impact of rule changes versus changed spectator behaviours from Covid, but I'm sure the rule changes haven't helped. It will take years for crowds/ratings etc to build up again IMO.
He just said to deflect criticism. Last years GF was sheer torture for him.
He does. He hopes to play him when he’s 35. Fits in with his recruiting. He will be the right age for them then
I am really happy to see you are all on board with how stupid the rule changes are the AFL have introduced.
It was very obvious before hand that these changes would have no , zero, beneficial effect.
The rule changes were not properly trialed and not proven to have any beneficial effect. .
So why do it?
Conclusion
1 Hierarchy at AFL are idiots.
2.Hierarchy at AFL are like all unprofessional work places ..where people are appointment to a position and make changes to justify their position.
3 Hierarchy at AFL are corrupt and want results that suit a personal agenda.
4 The game is just nonsence, like a reality show, aiming to satisfy financial gains with no care for outcomes because they are fabricated.
Anyone got a better explanation?
Just an example of current shallow meaningless behaviour as evidenced by social media and idiotic human ignorance.
I really despair.
Thankyou Tigers for the four wonderful years you gave us.
Everything else is a nonsensical mirage.
PS..the sauce (sic) of my wisdom is a bottle of Barwon Ridge chardonnay.
I recommend it.
Owners have a mini Schnauzer as I do.
Anyone else have a mini?

They've achieved that stat. By crippling RFC and by default Dusty, we're seeing more Dusty Moments across the AFL. But they are 2021 Dusty Moments, not 2017,2018,2019 & 2020 Dusty Moments.
