Because they can do as they please and they don’t have to do what you think they should.

You have asked them that? Done answer some don’t. But once you are in something you are entitled to an opinion on what you’re in. Doesn’t matter whether you have been there for ever or just joined recently if you think things are not what they should be then I have no issue with hearing that...

Was different for us, the VFL expansion meant our WAFL comp was going from the biggest gig in town to now secondary. You are right most just dropped their WAFL club pretty much overnight but let’s be honest it would have happened the same anywhere.

I have been a West Perth Member for over 36 years and I was an Eagles member for 27. I dropped my Eagles membership in 2019 as we were not attending and I would rather my money go to clubs who need it like my beloved West Perth who I am now a corporate member of. Not many like me around however...

I think they are very important but fir some reason everytime a club goes bad now they blame the assistants. I would not like to bean assistant these days. Senior coaches get excuse after excuse for them

Just trying to understand mate. Not from Melbourne so don’t get how all your grounds got squashed.

At any point in your history did you try and make your home ground vic park? Or were you always for decades looking to make the MCG your home? Why did it take so long when do much more money was to be made by playing at the G?

If it was such a crap place why didn’t you get away from it in the 50’s? And still to this day you call it your spiritual home. Sounds like a nightmare to me.

You have to stop thinking you were this massive entity 30 years ago. No one was putting money into you and fans were just fans not members. You could if easily turned but park into a sanctuary at that time. Of course now us different. Please stop thinking that 2024 is like it was in 1980.

You never needed to expand it, you had 25k members. You didn’t need any massive stadium.

I am not talking about doing it now, I am talking about 20 yers ago when you had 25k members.

Of course it was, you chose to take a deal with the AFL and didn’t care about anyone else.

And I thought the league was about money, you yhink your club is about its fans? Spare me.

But if you had never moved no one would know any different. The fans were never pissedoff in 1978.

Why would I know about Yarra council? I am simply talking about doing what the Eagles do which is make as much money off their fans as they can. Why you Vic clubs don’t do that astounds me.
