And then the Royal Commission happened and the colllusion between the AFL/MCC and Vic State Government was solidified to make sure the dice was always firmly weighted towards Victoria.
Collingwood- making Rugby League clubs look like solid citizens. What a bin fire that club has become. I guess all the moddycoddling and preferential treatment they receive creates a spoilt, entitled, morally corrupt organisation. Like the only child who's never told no. McGuire has much to...
This guy is a complete disgrace Disgusting individual who should be in gaol. Scum of the earth. Deserves everything bad that is coming to him.
The other bloke is Joffa.
Bring back the VFA. Put Fitzroy, Melbourne and North in it. Rebadge the VHFA. Victorian Hipster Football League. Those that want the romance of the suburban ground can have it.
I want to kill off Vic clubs. The couple that that serve no real purpose other than provide a few more derby games for the bigger Vic clubs. The ones that don't really serve a region of Melbourne, the ones that only the few would mourn.
By the way Mergers or relocations won't happen. The AFL/Vic Government (pretty much the same thing these days) have completely sured up the Vic clubs because the AFL is now part of the Victorian "Sports Industry" and is subsidized by the Vic taxpayer.
Sure. We had a down patch, but then steadied the ship and once again caused a seismic shift in SA football. 2 Clubs in Adelaide makes sense. 9 Clubs in Melbourne does not.
It's a pity the VFL destroyed the VFA, a good thriving VFA would have been great for say North and Melbourne to play in. Still retain their clubs and playing in a really good second tier comp more appropriate to their abilities.
There is zero to suggest Grundy wants to move back to SA. Has vague "I've got friends and family there and could see myself moving back there one day" is just playing the game. It is all about squeezing Collingwood with the will he or won't he bullshit. Im sure everybody involved is well aware...
I haven't read the thread but surely people see this as the classic Paul Connors play to get the most cash out of Collingwood?
Grundy is ensconsed in the Malbun/Hipster/I'll wear a pair of lensless glasses on my knob if I want to world. He isn't moving back to Adelaide.
His absolute obsessiveness about becoming an AFL footballer always screamed mental health issues to me. Many on our board wanted to pick him regardless of his Vic Metro mummy's boy traits. I was very happy we stayed away.
There has been a theory/rumour put forward that these "Port" supporters were guests/friends of a young Port player and is part of the reason why him not being recruited by a Perth based club was always in his best interests.
I agree. I think most average suburbanites would be amazed at the amount of successful people who make very good money including Doctors, Lawyers..... Footballers dabble in Cocaine.
