If we fold I wouldn't follow AFL.

Modern game is really shit to watch with all the congestion.
Rolling scrums, just trying to paddle the ball through legs and bodies until someone can run and carry and then misskick since they've bursted and not settled.

I miss the 90's, one on one "I'm better than you. follow me boys" instead of people having to beat 5 and watch 4 others "guard space".

I still remember when Adelaide football club was referred to as a "Concoction". Nothing new has history.

I don't mind the expansion teams, makes the game more relevant than just a group of Melbourne clubs. (and I thought the same when i lived there) and it's interesting to watch their slow progression from 'plastic' club with no fans or culture to the fully blown proud storied club which all of our once-nothing clubs have become.

We got nothing, got all of our good players poached almost folded and when finally we get it together this mob get TWENTY SEVEN firsy round picks on their list.
Not only that they get half of Australia as an academy.

Adelaide had a following. GWS has nothing. Sydney is a wasteland for football culture.

Nobody wants this team in Sydney. It is a disgrace and a travesty and will never be popular.
A drain on cash and players and potential flags for real clubs.
