I'm done with AFL

[Freo2012]

Absolutely fed up with the biased BS that is the AFL. Freo always gets treated like absolute sh1te and never puts up a decent fight - NEVER. Crowley Fyfe and Ballas, as well as others along the way, whilst Buddy and Goodes get nothing at all - absolute f'n joke of a sport. And the netball zone laws are coming - comp is going downhill very fast.

Its not a competition, its a marketing game - becoming like WWE every year with the manipulation and BS

Good bye AFL - I am done forever with this sh1te. Sorry freo but that also means I am done with you too.

At least it will mean a few more attendees at the South's games - been realising what I have been missing in the last couple of years focusing purely on Freo as a supporter. Local footy is far more enjoyable with far less concocted sh1te.

farewell all

 

[Outshined]

You'll be back.

The AFL knows it too.

 

[Freofalcon]

Are you hanging on to your Freo gear ?

If not, do you have a Freo coaches jacket size XL ? I'm off to Melbourne for the saints game and it's bloody cold that time of year.

Sorry to intrude but Buddy has a history of getting points from the MRP... something has changed for him this year can't for the life of me work out what

'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.' - Edmund Burke.

We're facing oppression in every facet of ours lives at the present, our Government, our Jobs and yes - our favourite sport.

Ultimately we're stronger fighting this together. Rather than sooking off to Soccer the only way we can advocate change is through steering collective change ourselves. It's time to take our battles out of the forums and into the streets, time for many of us to put our money where our mouths are. We must become the changes we seek.

Death to Shelbyville.

COLA, to not let him play would be throwing money down the toilet

I didn't truly believe Sydney were getting a leg up by the AFL until today.

The AFL is corrupt.

LOL.

You are kidding right?

 

[ep2018]

LOL.

You are kidding right?

What? The fact that it took me a while to see Sydney get a leg up?

Or the fact that I think the sport is corrupt at all?

short memories….Locket Diesel Williams Paul Roos Healey Maxwell Schwass Bolton Hall Tippet Franklin…coaches Hafey Barassi….that's just to name a few there's about 30 names…how do u think they all end up at Sydney?? what other club wins a flag and in the next 2 seasons is able to "recruit" 2 of the best key forwards in the game?? the Sydney market is imperative to tv $$$$ & that's all they care about…the Swans like the 2 new franchises are the AFL's clubs…do u remember Barry Halls stomach punch in the prelim were he winded a player but still got off to play in the grand final i think v west coast….how and why did he get off??

Yeah that Sydney are getting a leg up.

I mean, even as recent as getting Tippett and Franklin is ridiculous.

Only missed finals 3 times since 1990. But, even to some posters on here COLA is necessary. Whether it is Sydney, GCS or GWS.


Imo, it is a much bigger issue than the odd MRP finding that doesn't go the way you want it.

 

[ep2018]

My issue with COLA is that it is actually really expensive to live in WA

So where is COLA for us?

I blame Gina

And yes, I agree - it's bloody expensive over here too but because our clubs can safely support themselves plus the WAFC plus fork out $$$ for struggling Vic clubs, COLA somehow is deemed not needed

I can't believe the amount of people that get fooled into thinking it has anything to do with cost of living just because its called the cost of living allowance.

Even the AFL and Sydney accidentally call it the player retention allowance now and then.

Not surprising that you blokes turn this into something else, (COLA), instead of commenting on a supporter leaving the game because of what is happening.

It's so bad that the Australian Crime Commission should be investigating it

OP specifically mentioned Goodes and Franklin getting off. Directly related to the favoritism directed towards Sydney from the AFL.

Yet nothing to do with you guys not addressing why a Freo supporter is leaving the sport. You're just moaning about Sydney again.

But yeah...carry on as usual.

What have you posted about in this thread?

Just whinging about what others are posting. How are you any different?

God, you really are a twat at times. Enjoy your beer with JMD?

I'm concerned that one of our own, a good poster and supporter, is leaving the sport.

That was the intention of his OP and I feel bad about it and wish him well.

You don't even acknowledge that and continue on your personal crusade which, really, has FA to do with us at all.

Piss off cletus. It has nothing to do with that.

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

I think I'm getting close to calling it quits too. One day you will login and see under my profile that I've deleted my account, just like that scene at the end of Good Will Hunting when Ben Affleck knocks on Matt Damon's door and finds his house is empty and Matt has left shitsville for good.

 

[StingBitten]

In Europe there are entire communities that have removed themselves from Football due to enduring corruption; as Australia expands and the AFL greed grows I can only see the same thing commence over here.

AFL is Corrupt, But its not as Corrupt as FIFA rule by Sepp Blatter in the Soccer or Don King in Boxing.

You could also add Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat too.
