Why does it always have to be the "greatest mind in football" to fly the flag for all clubs?
Ed is a genius. We all know that.
Why is it taking the other clubs so long to also realise this?
Clubs own and run the AFL.
It's exactly like the F1 scenario a few years back when all the teams where going to join together and create their own competition because they were unhappy with Bernie Ecclestone and F1.
People need to realise, we do not go to games to watch the Commission. We do not attend games to watch Adrian Anderson, Andrew Demetriou, Mike Fitzpatrick etc. We do not even go to watch AFL itself.
We all attend games to watch Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Geelong, Adelaide etc. The clubs ARE bigger than the game itself because without them there is no competition.
It's about time the AFL realised this too.
