Title: 10 minutes to answer a simple question! Stupid, incompetent or snorting powder?
Post by: Penelope on July 25, 2010, 02:49:37 PM
Before last nights game North had an injury during the warm up. Having already had two emergencies get a game, the third named emergency Hale, had played in the VFL that day. It took the AFL ten minutes to answer the question as to whether North could play another player or had to play Hale.

That meant North played the first ten minutes a player down on the bench.

Are these clowns running the show really that incompetent or stupid, or are they on drugs?

Another fine example of why the AFL should test all employees for recreational drugs, not just the players.

What a farce!

Would say it's the first two of those three al. Andy D, AA and Geisch have turned incompetency and stupidity with the rules and rule changes into an artform. The ridiculous severity of the interchange rule and then Kosi while having a shot at goal having the ball taken off him because his own runner from St Kilda ran through the mark makes you scratch your head  :help.
