I don't detest that an elite professional sporting competition has turned into a business. The competition has grown and matured. But an elite professional sporting competition/business doesn't have to exist without a heart, without empathy with its own roots, without a conscious, without an understanding of its own place in the community. Gil has to please the bottom line, fair enough, but to the extent of what?

Fixturing is an obvious tool to marginalise teams. It stands to reason that a team that only gets one FTA timeslot a year, one MCG appearance a year over a sustained period, one Friday/Saturday night match a year is being marginalised. The argument of "win more games" is understandable but doesn't hold up against a 17th placed Collingwood, or consecutive bottom 5 Adelaide or Hawthorn.
That's how large businesses work. All that s**t gets in the way of maximising profits.

I think its about time the AFL realised that footy grounds are too big for effective tv viewing and took appropriate steps to make the grounds smaller...

You're selling them short. They also invented indigenous footballers. And maybe doped up footballers too.

I say we give them a PED game as well. Maybe against WC.

Don't forget ANZAC Day, they invented that too.
