We just see the story so differently it's not really worth debating.
So just finish me off with....
Why would the AFL want to purposely target our club? When did they hatch the plan to do us in, and how have they managed to maintain a coterie of willing villains over these many years to promote this sordid vision with constant turnover and such assorted personnel. Do they take a special oath as they enter their jobs?
How is it, with all the Hawthorn people we've seeded the AFL organization with, that they have so despised us (I assume we ruined they're lives while they were with us???) - so very deeply as to attempt over several decades to do whatever they can to bring us ruin?
Especially with our growing membership that brings viewers and dollars to the greater competition? I mean, to kill the cow that has given them sooooo much seems extraordinary? Surely they would want to keep us fattened so as to keep their tills overflowing?
Why just us? What was our crime that we are now paying for?
I look forward to hearing the rationale that must underpin these conspiracy theories, for they populate many minds here on the forum.
I think you are now well and truly overstating what is being said. No one is saying they want to kill us or that there is a plan to remove or eliminate.
What I (and a growing number) believe is that AFL HQ provide no favours and this is to weaken or disadvantage so as to be dictated to. You have a different view, that's fine. But expressing the extreme views I have highlighted in you lats post is incorrect. I outlined a number of things that are heavily slanted against us. You accept that as the norm but it shouldn't be that way.
It is great that the Club can dictate its own future. It doesn't need the AFL making life any more difficult.
