Most people call for him to **** off and he doesn't take that advice, so why should we listen to his.

 

[Fairtex09]

when you finally feel good about your club financially 1 ****wit comes out and says something like this.

 

[ptrg]

I'd Punch that!

 

[puckled]

Must be mates with Kennett.

 

[melbournemartin]

Boring. Next.

 

[Deefolt]

so it is confirmed? Nexus Helen is Wayne Jackson... would make sense considering they both talk a whole lot of garbage

This guy has done no research at all. Doesnt this just piss you off??? We have made some real leaps in the last year or so financially. An then the former AFL Chief executive has gone and said something like this. Melbourne are the OLDEST club in the comp and have the richest history. Why does the AFL, or rather, this dick wad, feel the need to get rid of the older clubs to make way for new clubs?? WHY? Clubs go in and out of financial problems. I say, **** the gold coast and leave the rightful victorian teams alone. Melbourne started the AFL, i think everyone has forgotten that.

I really do think it's in the best long-term interests of the game," Jackson told Adelaide radio station 5AA.

"You take two clubs (Melbourne and North Melbourne) out (of the competition) and what you will see is we will get a reduction in our broadcast rights," Demetriou said.
Demetriou said any reduction in the number of Victorian clubs would also damage the Victorian economy and hinder the league's ability to meet its contractual arrangements with the MCG and Etihad Stadium where it is contracted to play a certain number of games each season.

Been out of the game a bit long I think Mr Jackson.

There was a poll about it on superfooty.

54% of people said yes they should merge

and 45% of people said no they shouldn't merge.

More people were for it. I couldn't belive that! Stupid idea. Leave Melbourne alone!

A surprisingly large people hate Nth Melbourne and/or Melbourne,
Do the same question to melbourne supporters and or kanga supporters.

Im actually surprised how small it was for it to be for the merger lol. So many people want to see a merge or would have voted yes just to cause trouble.

Same, as a popularist stick the boots in sort of poll it was a bit of a flop tbh.
