The AFL can't help it if some clubs appoint crap coaches and recruit badly.And clearly it's working a treat.

Still leaves 2 games, plus finals. We all know how many finals we'll be playing...So, smart investment with the lights then?
You put more games on in times which are more attractive to watch on TV and less attractive to sit outdoors and travel home late from, and this is what you get.
Every Victorian AFL club has received tax payer funding to improve their facilities. Including yours.Maybe they should ask the state govt for more of the taxpayer's money to fund their further stadium refit.
It's worked every time so far.

Yep.Exactly. We're about 5 years away from being in a similar state to the NRL, as a "TV game" that fans don't actually go to.
Stop being bitter. Instead of directing your anger at me, go sort out the people running your club into the ground financially.
Let's not forget the lights are not there to increase attendances.So, smart investment with the lights then?
Can you send me a link of an article verifying this please.im filthy at Collingwood for not paying there share of tax and screwing over the middle income sides.
Wow a raffle with a prize of a meat tray.I've been thinking that if clubs want bigger crowds then they need something out of the box to get the punters in. Some competitions where people can win prizes is one idea. I have been working on a concept that I originally shared on the north board but would be happy for Geelong to use it too.
The idea is that when you enter the gate, you get a raffle ticket which you hold on to until half time. At half time they draw the raffle and whoever has the matching ticket wins a meat tray. They can go and collect their meat tray at half time if they wish but I'm still trying to work this out as someone might not want to sit with a meat tray for the whole of the second half.
Another issue I ran into was how they can safely get the meat home. It needs to be kept cold and if the people have a long drive or train ride home (like back to Geelong) then their could be problems.
My idea was a plastic bag filled with ice which would keep it cool. Someone suggested maybe a cooler bag in the club colours which would be a better idea but would have to look into costs as we want to keep costs down.
There could also be themes for different players like kosher (no pork) for Goldstein, maybe some Italian meats for an Italian player etc.
I'm still working out a few bugs and will then be putting a proposal to a couple of clubs and the afl.

Really groundbreaking new idea champ!

How many Geelongs are there in Melbourne?
I would have thought the answer is zero, so they play their games in, you know, Geelong? I don't understand why this is so hard to understand.
Are you unhappy that you don't have a home ground to call your own? Seems a bizarre rant to go on.
No, but they don't have to bail every club out if that happens.
At the very least, any assistance should come with heavy restrictions on future spending to prevent it happening again.
Like they did to Sydney, Brisbane and West Coast when they went broke?
Or is your firm stand only applied to Vic clubs?
LOL
Your club isnt even subject to the luxury tax (not in any sort of meaningful way whatsoever)
Where did you get that idea?
Maybe to a small extent. The reality is Geelong is easily bringing in enough money to sustain an AFL side (irrespective of the number of cheap nothing memberships they might sell), they just choose to spend too much.
Be pretty easy to drop a couple of these coaches for example and balance the books.

Pathetic effort by the GFC.
Honestly, how much longer are the big clubs going to have to prop up these minnows?
Careful,they might fire back with thisIs anyone else having trouble sharing this article on Facebook? I want to tag all my Geelong supporter friends to rub it in.
