Response to AA's questioning of Collingwood comments on the Shane O'Bree "incident".
"Nor will Collingwood be gagged and treated as if we are a necessary inconvenience. It is about time people started to realise football clubs own the AFL, and we are not stakeholders or subsidiaries."

Now, I agree with this comment, but we have to be consistent with these ideas.
If Eddie were reading this, I would ask him, as a Port Adelaide supporter.
"If there was a referendum, and 11 of the 16 clubs (ie 2/3 majority) voted to allow Port Adelaide to wear the Prison Bar Guernsey as their home strip, would you accept the decision from the owners?
or
"If there was a referendum, and 11 of the 16 clubs (ie 2/3 majority) voted to open up the Anzac Day game to all teams on a rotation basis, would you accept the decision from the owners?
etc
etc
What other things can the owners of the AFL do?
