1. Fitzroy were disbanded but the Bears were then rebranded the Lions. Sounds like a relocation and merger to me. 2. yes, they were but they were a hell of a lot more competitive after. Three premierships are proof of that. 3. Fitzroy owed over 2 mil at least 3 times. I worked at the club...

There are too many teams already. Time to bite the bullet. Merge at least two Vic teams. Tassie can be viable. They will put bums on seats, unlike Norf. Norf might be viable but they do not get people to the footy and their TV ratings would say they do not rate either. But the other thing is...

Eddies' latest rubbish bin filler is about where he is positioned at this time. He is a Victorian, protecting Victorian investments. I don't think there would be too many people crying if Norf simply disappeared. Maybe some of their 5 or 6,000 staunch fans that manage to troop out every week to...

I have a cunning plan my lord Gillon On JAT-L29 using BigFooty.com mobile app

No savings here. If they play 22 games half of them will have to be played away. So NSW teams for instance might end up playing 8 games in Melbourne, 2 in Qld and one away in NSW. At this time NSW teams play non AFL NEAFL sides once. Therefore 2 away and 2 home. The Swans only travelled 6 times...

Nothing like playing 16 games where the GF is played though with mostly, if not all, Vic umpires. Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond all had this advantage On JAT-L29 using BigFooty.com mobile app

There are a few inconsistencies in your analysis. Firstly, the Australian National Football League which was in existence when South Melbourne first moved to Sydney, were formulating the structure of a National competition. But the then VFL refused to join. This created a huge problem as the...

Well the Cats will probably retire between 3 & 6 players at the end of 2020. Ablett, Taylor, Selwood and Hawkins would all be close to saying goodbye. So would Toohey, Henderson and Stephen for that matter. On U27 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Howard is a really good player. He was misused at Port. They tried to make him play on the fast leading forward. Well that was never going to go well. He might be a very agile big man but he is no Buddy Franklin. He should always play on the biggest forward because that is his forte and his...

I am interested to see how the Brisbane Backs play this season without Hodge. But maybe with Birchell. Maybe. I mean Harris-Andrews could be a star. Very interested how Kelly and Yeo will interact. They look like the perfect mid with Luke Shuey. Are Cripps & Co going to take the next step...

Saints have won one premiership. They have only looked like winning one more. They have been in financial trouble for decades. The AFL has rescued them on many occasions. Their club ethic has always been very debatable or shaky. This is why they have not succeeded. On U27 using BigFooty.com...

That really tells the truth of that Grand Final and how Swans were screwed by the umpires. Especially in the first half where the count was 15-3. Where also there was a free given out every time Sydney attacked. Mind you similar was perpetrated on Hawks and GWS to get Bullies to the GF On U27...

I think Victoria cannot viably sustain 10 teams. Eventually it has to Fall to 8 then in the end to 6. As it stands 20 teams are at the same state the VFL was in when Swans moved to Sydney, in difficult financial situations. Melbourne is not just struggling it is close to bankruptcy. Saints are...

That does not include the incentive funds. This is all about two thing s media rights and gate takings. Incentive funding is separate. On U27 using BigFooty.com mobile app

St Kilda is an inner city suburb. But they are not based there anymore. So why not change the name of the club and call it the Peninsula Saints instead of St Kilda. Because they are not St Kilda and have nor been for decades. On U27 using BigFooty.com mobile app

So Matt De Boer is average or less? I think letting him go was one of the worst decisions you ever made. On par with letting Neil go. De Boer has done very well at GWS. On U27 using BigFooty.com mobile app

I agree and ask why were Carlton, Suns and Adelaide not considered in this scenario. Carlton have a weak list and lots of injuries. They finished below Sydney last year. Suns were last. Don't you think all the bottom sides need to be reviewed? Speaking of bottoming out. I think Cats are close...

What aging stars? Two, Kennedy and Franklin. The rest are young On U27 using BigFooty.com mobile app

I agree with you. So much talent On U27 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Lance did not play in many wins last season but the wins they got were mainly without him. The early part of the season was trying to get the mix right. Lance did well but we did not win. But after his injury young players stepped up and won games On U27 using BigFooty.com mobile app

In actual fact most of Sydney's wins last season did not involve Lance On U27 using BigFooty.com mobile app

What absolute crap. Swans Will be vying form finals. You don't have enough faith On U27 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Obviously you have not bothered to look at the lists of the respective teams and the development of players. Sydney have a very strong group of young players are very strong in all the needs of the modern game, height, pace and talent. They have some of the best disposers in the game now. If...

I reckon the umpires should be banned from allocating votes for this award. They are a hopeless bunch of picks at the best of times. The fact is nobody has won the Brown low but midfielders for so long the efficacy of umpires needs to be called into question. The fact Max Gawn polled so badly...

Typical of the AFL. They attract criticism and wonder why. This administration has again and again been in the news for the wrong reasons. There was the Swans trade ban. The Betting agency sponsorship. The inconsistent umpiring. The CEO's stupid comments on the Swans and the the coaches call to...

I think Alec Epis has the right of it. But if Essendon can induce some good players they might just be competitive. But it is going to be hard for Worsfold. Though he must be used to drug cheats by now having several of his boys at Eagles involved in illicit drugs...

The round is more interesting than it first looks. Port/North will be a cracker but I think Port will win this. As much as we were able to break them last week they are a good side. North on the other hand go missing. Saints to give Pies a shock. The Pies disposal is woeful and it will put...

Excuse me you must be either stupid or inherantly blind to the facts. What did you not read? The Victorian clubs have always had far more assistance than we get or have ever had. We are in a very good fiscal position without collingwood's fan base but enough at 40,000 membership. When we first...
