Well Freo just got towelled up by 15+ goals against GWS , Fyfe had about 20 turnovers , Sandi got used as a toilet brush by Rory Lobb and Cameron drilled 8 on AP

Before anyone jumps off a bridge it was on this AFL computer game but it still hurt , the neph should keep his head down if the real footy comes out later though

Fyfe , Sandi Walters and Mundy looked pretty realistic the rest of the boys could have been anyone though

Nice post to username correlation :D:thumbsu:
I just watched the “VFL” footy show & 80% of the minute spent on the Freo game was about the Giants’ re-branding
Lol
At least they all tipped the Giants:moustache:

Eddie the absolute self indulgent wanker.

Gil and co have just put the game back again. Victorian bias at its greatest. Stupidity. Why not move to a competition with better fixturing and fair finals systems. No... it’s all about the bloody Vics. Did I hear right that they are even saying women’s afl grand finals will be in Melbourne too?

The main board is a total shit show these days. The thread "discussing" it there is basically filled with posts like:



And Victorians have the nerve to accuse others of being overly parochial :drunk:
The MB has always been the Bay lite.

It's so ******* elitist too. More MCC members get tickets to the grand final than the actual clubs supporters do and they pay less for their memberships than club members do. MCC memberships are such a rort

After making a lot of progress in the 90s/00s I feel like the league has taken a major slide back into Vic-centricity the last decade.
Yes because they have our money. WA will always have 30-50k bums on seats each week no matter what they do. Good corporate sponsorship of our teams means the V(a)FL don't have to subsidise us or WC (or the WAFL).

We should demand that our Football department "tax" is returned to WA and the Vics can keep their $500mil from their Govt.

Also bear in mind that the AFL paid for a percentage of the MCG and Ethihad, but didn't put a cent into Perth Stadium.
W@nk#rs.

40 years is a long time

Look how much the league changed from 1980-now

Basically blacklisting other venues seems a bit much imo. By all means have an agreement made where the MCG is the preferred venue for grand finals barring another suitable venue - but to exclusively use it seems odd when the competition is trying to promote growth. It's not like there's another suitable venue (realistically) and the deal doesn't incentivise other states to build anything, so when the next deal runs out the AFL has can say "well no-one built one"

I doubt WA or SA would want to build a ~100k stadium if there's not going to be any potential for it to be used for GF day for at least another 40 years. It's like the FIFA world cup - there's no point building capacity stadium unless you know you're hosting - the AFL has basically shut off any potential for other venues as no-one would want to put $$$ in to something that has no guarantee of being used in the future

..which is what the MCC wants.

If I personally had $10B and offered to build a 150,000 seat stadium in Melbourne they would campaign against it. They have THE destination, THE stadium and it's in their interests to enter into deals that ensure nothing ever comes close.
