Just my thought Remember Laura Cane was a lawyer prior to becoming AFL football manager I reckon she would spin anything to not accept full responsibility!!
Graduate from the Shane Warne school of spin doctors, it's part of the first year 101 class at any law school. 😂. Insurance brokers & cars sales people are also welcomed as mentors .......coal face experienced
The AFL will never take responsibility for the stuff ups they make. They can say "the umpire got it wrong" but they don't say "we are making it impossible for umpires and fans to understand the game due to stuffing around with the rules every five minutes." The AFL should f√ck off and let an external body, the way this used to operate, the NFL make the decisions on the rules and any changes or tweaks to rules. And only during the off season should rules be tweaked. Not during a season. That's just plain idiotic.
My conspiracy theory is that Laura Kane gave an absolutely idiotic response to take attention away from the insidious draft changes that caught the clubs off-guard.
The NRL has insurance to cover the payments due to players who are medically retired, which therefore no longer counts against the club's salary cap. That is nice and clean and I can't understand why the much richer AFL hasn't taken out that type of insurance.
The AFL thinks it will just go away due to them paying an average wage which is higher than NRL payments. The AFL is a bunch of wankers and their ex CEO has just taken a head role at a sports betting company....conflict of interest much?!?!

@@qurah0 The issue is payments for the remainder of the contract not impacting on the salary cap and the club, which the NRL's policy addresses. The cost of surgeries is relatively minor compared to the cost of paying out players and clubs can still come to the party on further required surgeries. The players having been paid out on a contract can also afford some medical costs, so perhaps it could be joined payments between club and player. Most required surgeries would have already taken place prior to the medical retirement application and during the 12 months following approval, so it would only be a relevant issue in a very small minority of cases.
The sooner the rules around the draft are changed, the better. Anything that will make the draft less compromised the better. 20% discounts and accumulating draft points by trading down for junk picks are a joke. The unlimited number of academy picks that can be matched per draft are also totally unfair and should be limited to just one per draft.
I'm sick and tired seeing these ridiculous suspensions in the AFL. No continuity, and heart break for players missing finals. Time for a sin bin or a soccer card system.
I actually kinda reckon the opposite: she's excellent because she always gets the media and the clubs discussing stuff on her terms rather than undermining her logic substantially. And she deflects all criticism of serious issues such as gambling in the AFL. I don't like how the AFL is run, but she is great at it - the AFL is unethical as is she.
Hahah mate she's worse than the bloody politicians. I heard her talking about the Petracca injury the other day and I swear she said "processes and procedures" about 25 times and how they "review" everything and she literally said " I hope you and the public can trust us that we are on top of everything blah blah" well how are people supposed to understand the situation when you say nothing apart from dodging the questions for 99.9 percent of every interview !
Laura Kane needs better advice and not people who make her look like a fool. The touched ball she said it was inconclusive when everyone could see it on the big screen and everyone on their TV it was only inconclusive to the person who was making judgement on it.
Sam Edmund pointed out that by changing the start date of the VFL/AFL to 1870, Geelong would have 17 premierships, Carlton 22, Essendon 20 and Collingwood 16. No mention of the fact that Port Adelaide would have 37. Memo to Sam: there is life outside your Victorian bubble (must admit I thought Cornes would have chimed in with his tuppenceworth).
They still honour the contract, but it's not counted toward the salary cap. The logic is that it disincentivises club doctors from making playeres hide symptoms or sending them back on injured (both of which they absolutely do).
Laura kane thinks the AFL is a junior footy club where we need explaining of rules and everyone gets a ribbon. How about just apply the rules and if players want to exploit it don't pay a free kick.
Far out, can't touch each other off the ball now 😢 The AFL will go on, its a juggernaut, but at some stage its going to change into something different and I miss a bit of biffo. I guess Im being out dated.
@@Power_Prawnstar Yes and I've also played soccer and Rugby Union to make some comparisons. There is no reason at all for off the ball contact which has nothing to do with the sport and is also often gutless rather than an act of courage.
Are umpires accounts and the accounts of family and friends watched for betting profits? That seems like the next step that media people going crazy about umpiring decisions every week. Everyone working in defence or the government with a security clearance expects their bank acct to be monitored. Perhaps umpires neeed to sign up for that sort of monioring too, in order to get paid for one days work a week.
Why arnt they talking about, the fee kick that should of been paid to daicos.. have a close look at it, tackled and shoved in the back as his kicking it of the ground.
Why is everyone reading that decision wrongly the ump got it right , no way the Collingwood players thought it was a mark because it was kicked of the ground as a player ur never sure wat is in that situation u can see that on the Collingwood players face ffs then the ball carrier pkayed on its play on ffs
In the North Melbourne and Collingwood match, there were two throws by Collingwood in the backline that were not paid, a 50 m penalty was not paid, and touch ball was not paid, of course, the umpires changed the result of the game. To say they did not is laughable. The fact is they (Umpires) have made so many mistakes this year and influenced the result. Yeo holding the ball was not holding the ball. Laura Kane is funny. She keeps defending the umpires and everyone knows she was not honest.

Gonna be so bad this week when a player on the mark moves half a inch and the other team gets a 50
I'm all for the Cats getting recognition for their extra seven flags. You bloody beauty!! Full disclosure - I'm a Geelong supporter.

except their insurance only covers surgeries up to 1 year after retirement. So good luck if you have to have multiple surgeries.

Laura Kane is so out of her depth. It is going to get real boring real quick listening to the media trying to make sense of her waffle.

@@HorizonOfHope I don't know what you are talking about, but that sounds like something Kane would say.
DEI hire. What could go wrong ?
I like my head of footy to have played footy.

Week before, picket goal was cancelled for same thing! It’s cheating plain and simple
Kane, who called Roos a basket case and said they should’ve tanked for Harley, now jumping on their bandwagon. I’m shocked!

Matt De Boer was great as a tagger for the Giants.
Yes throws are now legal 50% of the time.
If a club gives a player a long contract and player gets medically retired they should honour the contract very simple in my eyes !!
They still honour the contract, but it's not counted toward the salary cap. The logic is that it disincentivises club doctors from making playeres hide symptoms or sending them back on injured (both of which they absolutely do).
The change just allows them to be payed outside the salary cap
Who hired Laura kane. That person, along with her, needs to get the boot 👢

Well considering clubs planned for and traded picks already. Take the daicos boys from Collingwood then.
Daicos boys don’t wanna play for these other dud clubs.
@Comatosedpeanut yeah I agree.

There is zero reason for off the ball contact, so I can't see any problem with players facing sanctions when they engage in DH behaviour.

Cornes representing Port Adelaide again.
Ffs a week for a low impact touch Dermie kissed Duckworth low impact and all he got was a wack from Billy next time they played.

The game is finished stop watching it
We are all devestated by your absence champ
AFL is not finished, it just started, future looks brighter than ever!!!
@@jorgelie2595 And just out of curiosity, where does your team sit on the ladder?
Why is everyone reading that decision wrongly the ump got it right , no way the Collingwood players thought it was a mark because it was kicked of the ground as a player ur never sure wat is in that situation u can see that on the Collingwood players face ffs then the ball carrier pkayed on its play on ffs
It's hard to take someone seriously that can't spell
Doesn’t matter if they didn’t know. It was a mark
It’s stupid they micro certain decisions when there’s multiple in every game that get ignored
So decisions will be made on the basis of reading a players facial expression? Time for your meds champ
So if a player isn't sure they can breach the rules? Good to know.
