Amen to the Vic bias. I’m not quite old enough to have a strong opinion on this, but is this the worst it’s ever been? Or has it always been deplorable?

When Cornes, KG and co used to go on about the us vs the evil Big V empire I used to think to myself *get over it dinosaur those days are gone, we are a national comp now* But then the 2002 GF, the 2012 PF, the 2013 PF, the 2016 GF and 2017 GF happened and I thought how wrong was I. These cheating bastards can actually determine who wins/loses finals and even grand finals.
I wouldn't think there are too many other local sporting competitions on the planet whereby teams that are located in a particular geographical location have such a huge advantage over their competitors. And Eddie has the cheek to whinge about Brisbane/Sydney. The AFL is a joke. Can you imagine Pyke being able to have a coffee catch up with the CEO of the competition to complain about an opposition teams tactics. The bias and corruption of their competition is blatant and public. They don't even attempt to hide it anymore.
That's why the VFL's media love Port so much because they know they don't have any allegiances to their local state or truly care about the "national competition". They are willing to whore themselves to the highest bidder as they have shown so many times in the past.
