Title: Time to Go to War
Post by: pmac21 on April 09, 2019, 09:39:27 AM
It's time to go to war with the AFL over the mistreatment of our club over these 3 issues:
1.  Win a flag with a great system then completely change the rules on us. 
2.  Continually on the bottom of the free kick differential ladder.  This cannot be a coincidence
3.  Last straw, Dusty's 2 week ban after similar incidents get off or are fines.

I would like our club to stand up and challenge this ban and take it to court if required. Show some gumption.
I am sick of being rolled over by this laughing stock AFL administration.

Yes to 2 & 3.
No to 1.
Thinking the AFL changed the rules because of us is like saying Martin Bryant was a receptionist for a cop party down in Port Arthur while some military bloke did the shooting

It was purely a coincidence that SHocking, Wankley & Clangerfield were all on the comittee and the side that's currently benefitting the most from the new rules is Geelong... :shh

4. We must demand the punt road end for any MCG game we play home away or final.
5. We must demand the afl we never play home games at Marvel stadium.

We should tag every Port player this week and turn the game into an ugly spectacle with only 7 or 8 goals kicked for the match by each side.

Watch as Channel 7 squeals and the AFL comes out hard against tagging.

People go to the football to watch great football being played not watch sub standard players bend the rules while the umpires ignore the rule breaches.

I have umpired for almost 30 years and from experience it only takes 2 or 3 free kicks to stop that sort of rule breach.

Play for a 5-4 win!

Tag them all and go ultra defensive!

Amen to number 5!

There is absolutely no reason we play there anymore now the AFL own that stadium.

It's not on Ch7 in Melb it's on Fox, so I doubt they'd care
