You obviously haven't read the thread, it's been explained eleventy gazillion times that $ is the driving factor behind the inequity, followed closely by geography and populations.
Yep, definitely a deliberate conspiracy. We hate you non vics so much, that when humans first communicated we put plans in place that would ensure us vics could punch down on the non vics when it came to footy.
This has been explained eleventy gazillion times already on these boards, it's pointless trying to.
Personally I'd prefer we have state conferences, eradicates any non vic disadvantages. then a play off of the all the league champions, what would that look like?
Obviously the Vic comp would...
We lost equity when the VFL expanded and changed its name, it's impossible to have a truly equitable comp given the factors that drive it.
Geography
Market
Yet this thread and others keeps going with the venting and replying to the venting.
Choice is with the non vics, the vics don't have...
Because ya'll make the same claims over and over again, even after everything has been explained.
I'm just replying, you guys are doing the whinging about theories of conspiracy. So not a life mission as you claim.
Then you need to ask the league
Well that depends the networks seem to think 'we' want to see the big supporter base teams.
That's subject to opinion.
All of which is semantics coz isn't gonna be the panacea you're looking for.
Speaking for myself I'd rather my club just play in a VFL...
Yet TV stations couldn't give a sh*t about that, they're just after the $ hence the high profile clubs get marquee games at the highest attendance venue all the time.
As you stated, regardless of ladder position.
A/ Can you link where anyone on here posted the comp is totally equal and fair?
B/ Do you mean like EPL fans where there's no salary cap? Or NFL where the clubs are privately owned, not membership driven like the AFL clubs?
Collingwood bottom = bigger than average tv and crowd
Collingwood anywhere in between = even bigger than average tv and crowd
Collingwood Top = as big as you get
But you're right, all vics have secret meetings to ensure we punch down on the other states just coz.
You stated and I quote
'IF you turn football into a hostile environment............' like it isn't to begin with.
Football is a psychologically hostile environment. Period.
Umm, football is a hostile environment for everyone that plays it.
In fact every combative sport is a hostile environment for every participant that plays it.
Sure, there's lines you don't cross, but let's not pretend we can make it all sunshine and lollipops so no one will find it 'hostile'
Yep
Vic conference
SA conference
WA conference
Tas conference
NT conference
QLD conference
WA conference
All the current tier two clubs in the conferences, play off the premiers of each conference.
Stops the non vic whinging
Evens up travel
Evens up basically everything
Might get South and...
