My issue with Kane is that I feel like she is gaslighting all of us. Speaks confidently, speaks calmly but she doesn't answer the questions that are put to here properly and tell us what is going on when we are seeing something completely differently. The umpiring and rules are a mess, stop telling us the game is umpired better than ever, stop saying the game is better than ever. The game was better in 2017 with kamikaze fast hard and pressure football, the game was better in the 90s.
She says she loves to collaborate yet, clubs have said they feel blindsides by the Father/Son points change. Everyone thinks the NGA change is going back to it being a rort. The rules of the game changes week to week. MRO is confusing and forcing the game to change, rather then let it evolve.
She says players adapt, yes they do adapt but when things feel like a dictatorship with force, it's wrong and is not enjoyable ride to go through as a fan. She wants to make the game safe, well I'm sorry, for anyone who has played the game, the game is not and will never be 'safe'. It's scary playing footy at times, but so is skateboarding, skiing, diving, any contact sport. You can mitigate risk and stamp out acts in the sport that are unacceptable but the evolution of the bump and tackle is getting ridiculous. But this is what makes the game great, makes players brave, make courageous moments worth cheering for. Otherwise we turn into Auskick and the sport becomes non contact game of netball via feet.
