You're being too civil regarding him. Still Demetroid was worse in my book.
To think how much money the Afl pump into , gws, goldcoast and womens leage , to let a club die
CB inviting Oakley around for a BBQ by the sounds of it.
Sad how some economists get passionate over economic rationalism...
Tell us what you really think, and they are still searching for the brick thrower
Given that it involves dispassionate ruining of people's lives and livelihoods, I'd say it's fine and proper to be passionately against it, and psychopathic to be passionately for it.
Bit harsh on Oakley. I reckon we pretty well mismanaged our own team out of almost out of existence. We weren't the only Victorian club in trouble obviously. But the injection of the West Coast $4million, saved the VFL clubs. RFCs poor onfield performance at the Time the League was going national was on us. Let's hope RFC can benefit from COVID while we are in a strong position.
We lucky to avoid extinction or merger. 1986, we are at the tail end of the GR influence. 1987 on the bottom of the ladder as expansion clubs are on the scene. Lucky Save our Skins saved us. And but for the grace of god avoided merger. But we've been at the wrong end of the ladder for too long, suffered compromised drafts. Now we are a really well run club, getting some hard earned reward on & off. If anything these kind of Oakley interviews are sobering. Anyone thinking of dropping the RFC memberships. Don't.
