country boy living in the city. footy and basketball.... my opinions are my own

@JasonBennettTV @VFL @abcsport @WilliamstownFC @CaseyDemonsFC Makes you appreciate the clubs who build media boxes in their redevelopments

[Damien F @franklingd]

@VictoriaPolice 💪

@PaulAmy375 Less byes
More games hopefully

[Damien F @franklingd]

@PaulAmy375 How good would it actually be to see all teams play each other once for the season, and then have a true ladder at the end

[Damien F @franklingd]

@PaulAmy375 Surely now the AFL and channel 7
Should be working with all clubs to ensure their lights are up to standard for tv games
For clubs to give up a home game to play at a neutral venue is ridiculous these days.
Ideal world the stand alone clubs would have the most tv games

[Damien F @franklingd]

@PaulAmy375 Hi Paul, that is exposure however for some it will be promoting the afl teams over stand alone teams. All stand alones need more exposure to grow brand.

[Damien F @franklingd]

@JasonBennettTV @WerribeeFC Can fly with the best of them. (Has some amazing highlights) Absolutely elite runner, quality person, low maintenance high output. Absolute steel by Melbourne.

[Damien F @franklingd]

@JasonBennettTV @JoshGabelich @WerribeeFC @VFL And a great home ground with a commentary box for you Jase? No tarps and marquees to call from 😁

[Damien F @franklingd]

@PaulAmy375 Age shouldn’t be a consideration. The ave career of a draftee is 3 yrs. Most play less than a handful of games, struggle with the commitment, the training, and won’t be able to step up to AFL. Taking Brewie, low risk, high reward if even for the average of 3 years. Proven!

@david_johnston5 @theweeklytimes @ctryfootyscores I would be interested to see how many are actually now reported. The biggest joke around this is AFL players playing VFL have a 12 day protocol, VFL only 21 days.

[Damien F @franklingd]

@JasonBennettTV Absolutely
You have to admire the commitment for players to work 40 hrs, most then have to travel to train, they get good week 3 hrs to train on the track together
They don’t get full grounds for pre season, they do their own meal prep and gym and after hours reviews, ELITE.

@FelixHofe Have a look at the volume of aussies playing D1 college. There will be some good players looking for an opportunity.

[Damien F @franklingd]

@_davidlimbrick While at it, legalize other recreational drugs. Take the criminality out of it, make them pharmaceutical grade, tax them and use the money to provide support. Improved quality minimizes ODs and the need for pill testing

[Damien F @franklingd]

@OlgunUluc That is the nature of professional sport
Magnay missed more than he played last 2 seasons, that’s covered. Mcveigh leaving creates an opportunity, similar to one Mcveigh took for himself previously. Someone much smarter than me once said, you don’t know what you don’t know

[Damien F @franklingd]

@OlgunUluc Baynes was screaming at the ref to review it, on the coverage you could hear the ref say nothing to review. At half time it was reviewed, Mayan got tossed. Perhaps they review it at the time and we are not talking about it

[Damien F @franklingd]

@NigelCarmody @AFL @TalentLeague @SANFL @WAFLOfficial @VFL Generally mature age from VFL offer low risk, low cost high reward. The maturity and development has been done at no cost to the AFL club and after earning a wage for a period they understand the value of the opportunity

[Damien F @franklingd]

@DangerousDaveW @HuntedAU As long as what ever car they traveled in had a “wheels” sticker on it they would have been fine

[Damien F @franklingd]

@PeterHooley12 @Joeingles7 A smarter person than me once said, 10 guys on the court and one ball, you spend more of your time without it than with it so be involved.

[Damien F @franklingd]

@DwaynesWorldSEN Perhaps Ross Lyon or choco Williams would also be good starting points. Give Choco 12 months and the whole place would look, play and feel different in a good way.
