I think I’ve explained that I accept that the competition is skewed because it follows where the money is - Victoria - not #VICBIAS for the sake of it. Gather Round is one example that swims against the tide.
It’s good that you accept that and some of its advantages, some blanket deny it exists...
Easily the best team in it. But yeah, if Blues or Cats run hot in September with minimal injuries, then that #VICBIAS will kick in. Actually 2016 they should have won that year. That Dogs prelim must still haunt those players. Swans were clearly gettable on GF day. The 2024 side just looks more...
...advantage to start to level out the other advantages, instead they give the Vics more of an advantage.
and you wonder why we think the AFL is #VICBIAS
FYI - The communities that play footy in SA, WA are no different to the communities in Vic, Tas, and NT that the Vic teams got that play...
...only after pick 40.
If we had the full state from pick 1 or even pick 20 then I would stop talking about it.
Currently, the zones are worthless as are all NGA's if they could select players after pick 40
with out using #VICBIAS, explain how the vic clubs got a NGA 12 months before SA and WA.
Read the thread. The WA wowsers think their is a #VICBIAS
Which is based on a belief that it wasnt AFL House policy that dictated that clubs like Melbourne and Richmond dont play home games at the MCG, but instead they voluntarily chose to move them elsewhere.
You have Sydney and WC fans who...
...imposed ground rationalisation in Melbourne.
AFL House refuses to fixture a traditional MCG club like Melbourne all of its home games at the G.
The small Melbourne clubs dont have any power, they just try to make the best of the AFL imposed s**t sandwhich that they are given.
But yeah #VICBIAS
...state to play a HOME game.
It is Vic teams who do all of the above, Sydney, Brisbane and the SA n WA teams all have ALL 11 games at home.
#VICBIAS
Again it is small Melbourne clubs and Geelong who never get any finals at their respective home ground.
More evidence of VicBias I guess.
The...
This, and to a lesser extent the Butters non citing decision, flies in the face of #VICBIAS.
It's almost as though Melbourne and Carlton losing to two struggling teams on the weekend has brought a realisation that the AvFL's only hope in season 2024 is Geelong, that they're a little over that...
Yes, and as normal SA and WA clubs were given nothing.
So out of the traditional clubs, only the Vic clubs got an advantage
That equals #VICBIAS
Surely, even the most biased person could admit that is Vic Bias.
...I can't find any reference to the article, but I can't find any reference to the article when the NGA was first announced for Vic clubs either, so I am guessing AFL remove old articles.
Vic clubs getting favoured over SA and WA clubs is not #VICBIAS.
haha - surely you are taking the piss now
I've come to the dawning realisation of my own stupidity, in that the answer is staring me in the face.
It's not #VICBIAS (it was when the original expansion happened, but that's embedded now and not changing)
It's #moneybias.
Wherever there is a AFL decision to be made, it's determined by...
