Kangaroos are stealthy bastards
I thought it amusing that IEKenner sends me this article the same day a kangaroo jumped out and hit my wife’s car as she was coming home….
The whole debacle of the AFL interchange bench is still continuing after introducing new rules so the cheats like Sydney Swans who robbed us, North Melboune Kangaroos, of a win by having 19 players on the field at once, can never do it again.
If you watched any AFL game in the last two weeks, you will see the joke trying to get substitutions on/off the field.
Anyway, where was I going…
It seems there is a background story to the infamous Swan v Kangaroo match.
No More Hiding With Boomer’s Box
IF BRENT Harvey wasn’t so cheeky and sneaky, it may never have come to this.As the AFL yesterday announced a backtrack on its interchange system, evidence emerged that Harvey played a key role in the 19th-man furore that started it all.
The finding from an AFL investigation into the North Melbourne-Sydney game a month ago was clear: Swans first-gamer Jesse White wrongly ran on as 19th man in the final minutes.
White was the fall guy. But it now seems the wrong man might have taken the hit for the team.
In a report to the Kangaroos two days after the game, official statistician Champion Data made it clear its records pointed to Swan Kieren Jack as the likely offender.
And that’s where the clever little rover Harvey comes in.
Yep, another Kangaroo hiding in the background, waiting to pounce out and catch people of guard. Love it. But with the new rules, Brent ‘Boomer’ Harvey can no longer sneak onto the field to catch his tagger out. Which is harsh for any great player who every week gets tagged to stop their play so of course they look at other ways to lose their tagger. I thought this was a great idea. Sit in the back so no one can see you. Brilliant.
And now the AFL are considering putting barcodes on the players so they can be scanned when they go through the interchange!
Good luck to Collingwood who’s uniform is 1 big barcode!
