Every post actually.It's every week with that guy

How long will you vanish if Richmond don't win?Because you had a few academy blokes? Some of whom would have been top 10 picks?
They would have been swans academy if gws didn't exist or gone into the draft.
This post has some weird reasoning
Is it? There was three beltings in the first week of finals this year alone.
Don't worry I'll ignore you, if you don't understand what said, or meant? So bye.I haven’t used ignore function before but you are sorely tempting me...
Did you read the history that filth already put up...?You didn't read this part of the article then? This is exactly what I was saying Vic people just walk straight past the facts and have an alternative footy universe happening.
"Of the 11 Victorian Club companies it appears that seven of them are technically insolvent. These clubs are Fitzroy, Geelong, Footscray, Collingwood, Melbourne, North Melbourne and Richmond," he wrote on August 8, 1986."
I know it's hard to accept that even the Pies were staring down the barrel but staring down the barrel they were!!
And ... yes the licences fees from Brisbane and WCE did save their busted broke miserable arses!
INSOLVENT = can't pay your debts if called due.
I don’t think the league is getting any more or less equal than previous years.The top 6 were very equal - 7th and 8th were just making up the numbers.
s**t, Adelaide nearly made finals and they have been crap for most of the year.

You could demote the licences to the vfl Nd probabky not impact the league that muchYep.
But if you look at it realistically there are too many teams in Victoria.
WA or SA may be able to cater for a 3rd team, there should be a team in Tassie and the Gold Coast is a failed experiment that aint gonna work.
You'll never be able to cut or merge the 3 or 4 teams from Victoria though. No-one would allow it.
The talent pool is becoming too thin because of the number of clubs.
The draw is inequitable etc etc.
Cheers matey.You could demote the licences to the vfl Nd probabky not impact the league that much
A conversation for another thread
Sad for pendles. But happy for gws.
And enjoyed a cracking prelim.
As a person who moved to Australia and developed passion for footy I am still amazed how biased towards VFL Melbourne commentators, fans, AFL headquarters is. I would say it's one step forward 2 steps back sometimes towards national competition. It feels like it's a national competition only because VFL would not survive on its own and a need for money coming from national TV rights.Yep.

Don’t hate our success record GE. Embrace the spectacle we have given over the last 5 decades.The Grand Final this year doesn’t feature Hawthorn which is a victory for all sports fans

9 teams in Melbourne is beyond joke.
If you want the game to grow, get more money from TV rights, have a bigger talent pool you want to expand AFL - in that aspect starting Suns and GWS was a right decision. How it was done is the issue.
People criticising Suns - do you realise that Suns were created and are run by AFL? If you want to criticise someone go after AFL (VFL). How they set up Suns is laughable. Suns got essentially half of Giants concessions. Can you imagine that Pies would start in NRL dominated region in metal sheds for 8 years while underfunded in every aspect and run by coach, admin who were never in that position before? I listened to McKenna's interviews a couple of times after he was fired. When Suns started he wanted a double number of mature players - not done because of limited resources. After 1st season in 2012, Suns went back to AFL that they are min 800K short in medical/performance dept compared to other teams - not fixed. Even this year Sun are still 1M below soft cap.
More AFL jokes - 3rd party/commercial deals in Melbourne, NGA, players movement rules, fixture.
No doubt the game grows in QLD. More talents will flow from QLD into talent pool.
“There will be 250,000 participants this year (2018) in AFL across Queensland. What’s significant about a quarter of a million people, kids is that 10 years ago, that number was less than 25,000.”
How to fix Suns? Not a rocket science - give them extra picks, extra salary cap to attract quality mature players and resources comparable to the best teams. Once Suns play finals you can take concessions away. Will it happen? Probably not as Eddie and co constantly whinge about unfair advantages Suns get. Let's see what AFL commission will come up with next week.
Interesting comments. Appreciate your views - although I beg to differ in some points you raise.As a person who moved to Australia and developed passion for footy I am still amazed how biased towards VFL Melbourne commentators, fans, AFL headquarters is.

How long will you vanish if Richmond don't win?
So no-one should play on the MCG in the home and away season?Amazed? This comp is like no other - which other competition allows its grand final to be played on a ground where one of the teams plays 9 of its last 10 games there and is its home ground. Which other competition? None.
Go GWS.
Why was there only 74000 at the game?
Loved watching Hawthorn play finals.Don’t hate our success record GE. Embrace the spectacle we have given over the last 5 decades.
Preach love not war.
Plenty. Because Richmond earned two home finals.Amazed? This comp is like no other - which other competition allows its grand final to be played on a ground where one of the teams plays 9 of its last 10 games there and is its home ground. Which other competition? None.
Go GWS.
20,000 pies fans were lining up for GF tickets already.
We still are - still more supporters - not necessarily members.But Tom Browne said Collingwood is the biggest club in Australia
