Probably because Melbourne have only been good for what? 2 years? 17 months? They were crap for ages. And Geelong have been good for what feels like forever.
So this contract with the vic government that is apparently iron clad - is it like fringe player contract iron clad or like French submarine iron clad?
Absolutely this. It's not about threatening the role of the MCG - it's about growing the state of the game to include all fans and to be a truly national competition.
I agree with you. Should have forced the issue. But they didn't. All I want is my kids to have the same opportunity to attend grand finals as Victorian kids. Sharing them doesn't reduce the vfl legacy, it helps build a new one - a national sport for all Australians.
Forget the dick measuring and state bullshit, it was just great to have a game with a large crowd. Looking forward to tonight's game and even more so for the GF.
Ps can't you sadsacks just enjoy the spectacle
Troll thread by the entitled. Looking forward to the GF - hopefully a Victorian team vs a south Australian team in Western Australia. How gloriously national.
This just shows so little understanding of the reality of the situation. Idk why anyone is trying to explain just how unfair and parochial it is - people like this are so entitled they will never see anyones point of view, other than their own.
Simply put - the AFL/MCG wouldn't pass any commercial governance. The procurement procedure was abandoned to quickly lock in the deal. It's a corrupt deal.
