Yes but difference being this is an ordinary game which is the result of the woeful expansion program of the AFL and there are five teams in the AFL comp which will give you an ordinary game week in week out.

5

There are 2. The suns have almost beaten the bombers already this year. these teams are in development and will improve every year.

I'd rather watch any of these games and see the up and coming stars of the suns and giants than watch a near nil all draw in the NRL like last night

You avoided my earlier question. How would you have expanded into these markets?

i didn't know 12 - 10 was a near nil all draw

Weren't the last few tries scored in the last few minutes of the game?

Their criticizing their choice of play hardly new. They criticize many teams for similar tactics.

Ah Xman. You see "kicking 10 metre kicks to 50 50 contests" as "tactics"?

I'm sorry but U12s would be smarter than to employ this as a tactic. Enough of your spin and turd polishing Xman.

Teams are instructed to kick short to maintain possession and make their way through a defensive zone. However kicking short to a contest is purely poor decision making regarding which short target to select. A lot of this comes down to inexperienced and panicked offensive players, and excellent pressure form the opposition.

I realize this is all new to you KE, but I've tried to dumb it down for you as much as I can.

Have to address this and say that I've umpired plenty of Under 12 games and the majority of them DO employ "10 metre kicks to 50 50 contests". Not as a tactic, but because they don't know any better! They just want to kick the footy and chase it!

Xman you can't dumb this down for KE. It's like trying to teach a monkey to not type gibberish.
