The Crows, not 7.

Why would the AFL care? it'll just intensify the tension between the two clubs resulting in another epic Showdown.

Win, win for the AFL.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Don't hold your breath. Very unlikely. If anything is done it will be behind the scenes.

Im not.... just wishful thinking.

Well, for a starters its incredibly unethical.

One poster claimed they were paying 7 to be biased, that called Bribery and is a crime.

They're not paying 7 to be biased. Not directly, anyway.

They are paying 7 to air that ridiculously lame Crows Show and bringing their sponsors to the party as well. It's basically a glorified infomercial, because it's produced by AFC Media, so 7 doesn't have to give up anything other than airtime and they get local sponsors associated with it.

With that intervention comes certain intangible benefits.

I can't ****ing take this shit anymore. Equal competition my ****ing anus. 40 million. 40! 15 mill from the government!

We can't even score a ****ing grant to paint some new ****ing lines on the oval.

****!

tribey between Geelong and this bullshit how the **** can we compete every year?

15 million would transform Alberton into a well oiled footballing machine.

Just like the AO Hotel.

you watch in 5 years time they'll ask to play interstate teams at the venue because they can't pull a crowd at Etihad.

This the only real reason to have a women's team. Given the current climate govt and companies are falling over themselves to throw money at them.

 

[Janus]

Don’t complain - an AFLW team is how we get the Alberton upgrade.

This is where being a real club as opposed to a franchise will come into full effect.

Will that actually happen though? I feel that we get gifted nothing.

Any Port supporter living in seats containing Alberton state or federal stop voting ALP. Unless it’s a marginal seat we aren’t getting a competition to shower us with grants.

This is where the Victorian fans go on about the half-billion of taxpayers’ money going into the Adelaide Oval upgrade, like we see anything over and above a few cents.

Carlton/Princes Park is within the federal electorate of Melbourne which always used to be Labor until A. Bandit Bandt won it for the Greens, so I'm surpised the Coalition are bothering. Perhaps Josh Frydenberg is a Blues supporter.

Nick Riewoldt’s listed height always surprises me. Jack’s actually taller. But if you were to ask the average punter, I reckon almost all would say Nick.

Perspective is mad too, like Steph Curry being the same height as Adam Goodes.

 

[edgie]

Lol **** me. Carlton demolish half their oval then get a government hand out to fix it up?

Long legs and long arms, shortish torso makes Niewoldt look taller than he is.

I always thought he was 196cm until i looked it up

Ben Simmons is the same height as Max Gawn. Imagine if he'd stuck with footy.

funny isnt it. I remember being told back in the day, Shaun Rehn and Michael Jordan are the same height. Similar athleticism too ....

 

[TeeKray]

Wait, Nick Riewoldt is only 193? That's mind blowing.

Imagine if African Americans played Aussue Rules. The athleticism would be breathtaking but the collision injuries outrageous.

Spot on. Imagine if Le Bron or an Anthony Davis was brought up playing AFL. Scary thought.

Let me take a stab ... He would minus about $50million in his bank account, and not be dating a Kardashian?

Am I close?
