    The other side of this whole deal, is are they looking to cut back on some things? AFLW broadcasting runs at a hefty loss for them, so if AFL want that to continue to be broadcasted they'll pay for it? Broadcasting matches from one off venues is a loss maker. Alice Springs, Barossa Valley &...

    Those 3 ideas are as yet unproven if they'll work. Origin as an ongoing concept I can't see working. Wildcard has zero benefit to Foxtel Tassie won't bring in that many new viewers. Best way is to flip the Friday night games. Fewer games for bigger clubs in those primetime marketing spots...

    There's always exit clauses in these deals. If they are being held to it watch them demand far more big games on Saturday nights and far less influence in fixturing to Ch7. So if you have got used to FTA matches as supported of a big Victorian club, you'll be needing a subscription soon watch...

    Ah Chee is a victim of our depth in young players. He is older on more money and we need to keep bringing through kids rather than end up like Collingwood who are staring at a cliff

    Players sometimes have to go to flourish, Keays perfect example. Dev should've gone 2 years ago when West Coast knocked. Smith is in that boat, as you said, his ground game is poor and if you can't apply pressure you won't last. Pressure by Gallop was good

    If someone came for Smith I'd dump him in a second. He's been on the list for 5 years, played 5 games. If you haven't emerged after 5 years. Performance after half-time vs Collingwood & match against Swans were putrid. Sometimes have to face the harsh reality that some players just will never...

    The Western United Thread - R.I.P

    It depends on the NPL U23 licence & is that tied to A-League or not. Because if it isn't then they could look to just use that as normal and be a VPL 1 club as they were this year. There would be a lot of financial issues to work out. Their academy kids are already looking at options for next...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    The convention is only binding on the European Council states, Russia is not party to the European Council. Ukraine who are party to it have admitted to breaching it, but no action has been taken against them, so the whole thing is pointless.

    Not-a-cluey Best FOOTBALL RELATED RUMOUR you have heard from someone you trust 2025 Part 3 - Many lies and bullshit in here. Please read OP before posting

    Remember it well even footy cards were collectable. I had a a Darren Milane signed card that I sold short after he had his meeting with a truck which was during the peak of their era. By mid 90s was all over and only sentimental value. I should've sold the others I had at that time too...

    25 years since it morph out of Carnegie to become the beast it is. How time flies. How old I feel writing this.

    Bobby deal will be done relatively quickly as a standalone deal. Try and tag it in with a complicated trade and then can blow up and be left paying a player who has moved back to WA to train there, ala Cam McCarthy
