I don't mind the idea of Divisions, with a flag to be competed for in each division each year.

I followed Geelong West in the VFA. In 72 they won the 2nd Div flag, three years later in 75 they won the 1st Div flag.

Same here. :)

Same for me brother. All signed up here too. :)

I thought it was just me....phew.

I really don't know. Some indicators (eg membership) indicate that support is growing, other indicators (eg yesterday's attendance) make you wonder.

I'm happy to stick with the Swans as the Sydney team that I support. I'm not that interested in GWS, other than of course watching their games on TV. I took out a foundation GWS membership, in the anticipation that it would be a club truly representing the area I live in, and despite the...

Here's one of the early AFL marketing brochures about the Giants. Sorry if the image is a bit hard to read, it's the best I could do trying to post it. I can assure you there is no mention of Canberra in this document. It was going to be Greater Western Sydney's team initially, no doubt...

The initial AFL marketing (aka bull****) sold the team as being a Western Sydney team, no mention of Canberra. That's what they were supposed to be, a Western Sydney team. Now they have no idea what they want to be. As a resident of Western Sydney, I certainly don't regard them as fully...

The Giants are supposed to be Greater Western Sydney's team.

I'm from Tassie, originally from Launny, but haven't lived there for a long time. As such, it took me a while to get my head around the AFL's stance. Initially, I was of the view that another stadium was unnecessary - I was in the "we've got two perfectly good stadia, why do we need another...

Why does it have to be profitable?

Let's see what she goes to the election with, she is going to have to present some sort of policy regarding the stadium/AFL team to the public.

At least I am not required to vote for them I guess.

I feel so dirty wanting the Libs to win.

Exactly, it does my head in when the naysayers accuse the AFL of bullying regarding the Tassie AFL team.

1. Yes 2. No 3. The Giants. Kinda. That's why I used the word genuine.

Call them the GWS-ACT Giants then. Because the current designation is misleading at best, fraudulent at worst. I live in western Sydney and I certainly don't regard the Giants as being genuine representatives of the area.

All that anecdote does is reinforce the stereotype of Americans being ignorant. How on earth could they have missed Pink's 2008 #1 So What? And her studio albums in 2001, 2003, 2006 & 2008 albums which all went top 10 in the US? I wouldn't be judging all Americans on your sample group, sounds...

It's just mind boggling.

$360 million not enough for you? https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/afl-pledges-360-million-to-tasmanian-team-but-one-key-requirement-remains-c-9846615#:~:text=The%20AFL%20has%20pledged%20to,three%20new%20%E2%80%9Ctalent%20academies%E2%80%9D.

I feel exactly the same way. By the way, I'm a boomer. We are not all the same. ;)

This was one rare moment of joy coming into my life, which is plagued by depression and darkness. I'm devastated that it is now in so much jeopardy, I really don't know what my reaction will be if it is killed off. But I can tell you, it will be way beyond devastation.

The opposition - and stadium opponents in general - already look that way. :)

Yes! People seem to think that throwing more money at health is the answer. Question is - do you just keep throwing money at health until it's working, as seems to be the attitude of many? Surely at some stage you need to question how the money is being spent and allocated if the system isn't...

So as she (Bec) has tried to explain away the photo I posted as "satirical", let's see her explain this one away. Deleted from the website, but you can't delete it from the internet. From 23/4/21 - 2nd item down. It would appear that just two years ago, there weren't problems with housing...

I mean, sure it was for the Olympics, but what were Labor's plans for its use after then? How was it going to pay for itself? And surely there were better things to spend the money on - what about health, the homeless, etc?

Don't you just love politicians?

Nope, I'm from Launceston, why on earth would I think that? But I can see the logic of putting a new stadium in the capital city.

Therefore I am not a mainlander.
