With the ever developing Tassie bid becoming a parachute for the AFL to protect their hordes of TV gold, as far as 9 games on TV goes. How long should the belligerence of the Demetriou/McLachlan/FitzPatrick cartel be allowed to throw money and effort at a known Australian sports vortex? GWS, at least have the population they keep telling us, and the NRL seemingly reject their core people for Bondi and and inner West (the AFL don't need a 2nd invite to invade after stuffing up Canberra) Rev Sheedy is there, and the Swans poor start tells us if you get it right, NSWmen will buy in. But we all know the GC sports history, does throwing money and rigging the league fix this and make it viable in 20-30 years? Will the GC residents personality change that much? Should they hand the license to the Southport Sharks? A club with roots and hub that locals can then attach themselves to. Are the excesses of AFL handouts one of the reason locals reject them? Despite everyone loving a winner, would the area respect the club more for having to just plain tough it out?
I feel the footy media can act like the rabid dogs of their political brethren when a coach is on the rack. And they love to tell us how their questions and subsequent writings represent the footy fan. But if they were true to that ideal, they would be door stopping the CEO and Chairman at every turn on what I can only assume to this point as been the AFLs biggest financial mistake in its history since............. Last time it was there.
