Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.
Only the first half. There's a post on that YouTube page explaining what happened to the second half:
Apologies to the viewers of the stream. Due to the ground playing commercial tracks Youtube shut down the stream due to copyright issues. In future the audio will be switched off in between? quarters to prevent this happening again.
Thanks Ugg.
Despite the teething problems, I think they are doing a great job of filming these games and making them available to the great unwashed.

It stings seeing ROK playing in the 2's. I hope he comes back and plays some really good footy soon.
Mitchell is ready to go and Sammy has been training the house down. He hasn't been out for long so should be pretty right. Tip is another matter. He looked good in his only half of footy against Suns Reserves but then got a hairline fracture of the rib. He may or may not be ready. Goodes looked pretty good. Mitchell played a full game against Brisbane Reserves and was BOG apparently so he is up for it. Tommy Walsh is probably going to play his first game of Twos in two weeks. Until he is available for selection in the Seniors he is still on the long term injury list as reserves is a part of the progress I think, not quite sure on that.
My point was these players are playing injured which I personally don't like. They might be only bruises but they hurt and it would be better to get them right. Have you ever had bruised ribs? I have and it is really hard to breathe, very painful. Resting players to get them right is never a bad thing and if they carry those soft tissue injuries into a big game they might get injured even worse than they are. The other thing is the injury might be exacerbated in the Brisbane game due to Brisbane players knowing they are carrying those injuries into the game. Yes I am talking about players targeting an injured or sore player such as elbowing Kizza in the ribs constantly until he has to be subbed out of the game. Get the injuries right then come back. I notice Horse didn't even talk about Kizza, Interesting.
Undy the NEAFL is a professional organisation not a volunteer body or NGO. The Streams have been a disaster this year. The Reserves v Suns game replay cut out vision half way through the last quarter and left only audio. One stream didn't happen at all. So far not good. I am not sure who does the streams but surely they would contract the job out. If it is volunteer it is a bit silly for a two state league.
Its interesting that when we do get a good stream there is usually only 50-60 people watching. If there were thousands watching I imagine by selling some advertising it would pay for itself. I can understand why they don't really bother too much about the streams when so few are interested. I suppose if the quality was better more people would watch.
Not sure what this is doing in the "Changes" thread.
