Gather Round

[Skippy Steve]

Are you dreaming again? lol And where did the state of Origin come from? Who is copying who here?

[Quolls2019]

Leroy didn't infer it was new in the afl

he said the afl are carrying on like they invented elite sport in regional australia ... they carry on like they invent a lot of things when in reality im not sure they've invented anything .... like they haven't had an original idea ever



well theres origin i guess
so
one thing

Fair enough - must have interpreted what he was saying incorrectly.

Yes, SoO is an Aussie Rules invention

What else is there I wonder? The final 8 Mcintyre system(s) - was this first used in AFL? How about the final 8 system used now - I believe the AFL moved away from the latest version of the McIntyre system before the NRL to the current system both codes use.

And don't forget AFLX . Or may be we all should forget that abomination!!!

But AFL in and of itself is very unique - invented here and followed by millions - and some hate it too

Do NRL have a massive banner they run through at the start of the game? could this be an AFL thing? Also, signing the club song after a game? But are these traditions rather than inventions.

the present finals system used by the both codes now is the NRL's old system , the AFL's system Mcintyre system both used by both codes , has been scrapped for being shit
banners are an American sports tradition copied by the AFL & team songs have been sung by teams in all sports since day dot .... the AFL want people to believe they're innovative.... they are not !!

Gather round .. pinched from Rugby League ( ESL) now magic round in the NRL
Score review ..... first used in Australia by the NRL , originally the NFL
AFL's judiciary system... pinched from the NRL , its their system with almost no variations

just to name a few things

Azif you tell the truth
Azif you would tell the facts even if you knew them..

The NRL finals system is the finals series that is currently being used by the National Rugby League competitions of Australia and New Zealand since 2012. The NRL finals system replaced the McIntyre system which was used from 1999 to 2011.[1][2]
A similar system was previously used by the Australian Rugby League in the 1995 and 1996 seasons; however, there was no crossover in 1995, and in 1996 teams crossed over in Week 2, rather than Week 3. The system has also been adopted by the Victorian Football League and a slightly modified version adopted by Super League. The Australian Football League (AFL) also use this system and have done so since 2000.

And the score review and judiciary systems are nearly the crappiest things in the afl at the moment, take credit if you want.
The gather round is another thing I’m not keen on.

And the VFL, the old one, did play at least one full round in country areas.

you clueless wanker
you just reposted what I said

the current finals system was invented by Rugby League , we had it .. we changed it to that useless AFL system ... we went back to our system..
so..
the current system for both codes , invented by one pinched by the other
is ours !!

your sad little fumbling shitshow of a sport does nothing but copy other sports, & takes most of its ideas .. from the NRL

[Fred]

the amount of attention the media have given to country or regional areas
you would think the AFL are the first to do it

You still on the GC LeRoy? If so, good to see the gather round getting plenty of media - so successful in that respects I guess.

Azif you know nothing
Similar is not the same, and your similar system was based on an older VFL system
In fact all finals systems came from early VFL systems, because they originated playing finals.
And organised adult competition football was first played by the the early Australian rules players.
Every other code copied Australian rules in many aspects.

is that like QLD isn't RL heartland you gibbering moron ?

no one copied anything from the fumbling game from Vicdopia
people in the North of England in 1895 weren't sitting down to study the finals format of a game they'd never heard from Australia you complete idiot
Same with the NFL in the USA 100 plus years ago
& most other sports too

seriously , the noodle armed bumblers from Mongbourne invented the concept of playoffs did they ?

Here is the wiki entry re: the McIntyre system (s) from as early as 1931.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIntyre_ ... ry%20final.



So many systems - the latest one for the final 8 - which sucked.

In the VFL/AFL
The first McIntyre system, the Page–McIntyre system, also known as the McIntyre final four system, was adopted by the VFL in 1931,[1] after using three systems since its foundation in 1897, the major system and predecessor to the Page–McIntyre system being the "amended Argus system" that had operated from 1907 to 1923 and 1925 to 1930.

McIntyre also devised the McIntyre final five system for the VFL for 1972, the McIntyre final six system for 1991 (which was revised for 1992) and the McIntyre final eight system for the 1994 season.

The AFL and its fans grew dissatisfied with some of the outcomes the McIntyre final eight system might allow, and replaced it with another final eight system in 2000.

Other competitions
McIntyre finals systems are used prominently throughout Australia. Most Australian rules football leagues, from professional down to suburban, use a McIntyre finals system. The New South Wales Rugby League/National Rugby League has used the McIntyre final four and final five at different times throughout its history, and used the McIntyre final eight system from 1999 until 2011. The Page–McIntyre system is also used in the ANZ Championships (netball), the Australian Baseball League and Women's National Basketball League. It was also used in the A-League (soccer) before that competition expanded its finals series to a top-six format. It is also used in the Indian Premier League (cricket).

Under the name Page playoff system, the McIntyre final four is commonly used in softball and curling events, especially in Canada. The system was also used in the Rugby League National League Three in Great Britain for the 2004 season.

A hybrid version the Page–McIntyre system has been in used the Big Bash League in Australia since the 2019–2020 season, the difference between the original version and the hybrid version is a fifth game is played between 4th and 5th placed team playing in an elimination final with the winner playing 3rd in the first semi-final, a game that is usually played between 3rd and 4th in the original version of the system.

In North America, since 2021, it has been used as the preliminary round of the NBA Playoffs as a 'play-in tournament' to determine the seventh and eighth seeds for the main playoff tournament, with seeds 7 and 8 playing, then seeds 9 and 10, with the winner of the 7/8 game being the seventh seed, and the loser of the 7/8 game and winner of the 9/10 game competing for the eighth seed.

Again you have no idea what you are talking about.
Up until 1998 first division which became Super League had no play off system……1998…..not 1895…
The championship (the english leagues version of the FA cup) had a system of finals introduced in 1906…after the VFL system was introduced….

The NFL didn’t start their playoff system until 1970…..and it was not based on the VFL system.
Before this the NFL had one end of season game between the AFL and NFL champions.

Things the VFA/VFL/AFL did before anyone else…
Establish standard rules that all teams played by.
Had the first country vs country football game. (Very early if you accept the self governing colonies as countries)
Established the first centrally controlled fixture.
Established the first system of table/ladder.
Introduced the first finals system.
First game under the Melbourne rules 1859
First game under the FA (english) rules 1863.
First to introduce replacements/reserve players. (Via the ballarat football association)
There are other examples.

I didn’t mind the McIntyre 8 system, had one flaw re the allocation of home games after the first round, but that
was an easy fix.

Some people might just have to eat their words or bury their heads back into the sand because the NRL has copied the AFL for years!
