Just get on with it Lethal

[Grave Danger]

I thought Leigh Matthews had dealt with Brisbane's displeasure at not hosting a semi-final. Earlier in the week he was talking about how good it was for them to be experiencing finals footy in Melbourne, and that it was the first time the old Fitzroy supporters would get to see the Lions play, blah, blah. But every day since he has a bigger sook about how unfair it all is. It's too bloody late now - give it a rest you prick.

I agree. Leigh certainly can whinge at times. Even against the club he became a LEGEND at - the mighty Hawks.

Ok - now I am lost - when did he 'whinge' at the hawks...?

And read the article properly! He isn't whinging about not playing at the Gabba - he is complaining (and rightly so) about the way it came about.

His suggestion for how it could be run, would have had the Lions playing at Footy Park this week instead of Colonial....no mention of the Gabba there....just a suggestion that would ultimately benefit ALL clubs, by having a 'system' in place.

If his proposed 'system' had resulted in the Lions playing at the Gabba, then by all means call it a 'whinge'..........

......otherwise read it for what it was - A broadside at the AFL - and one that would benefit all clubs!

i think the main reason he was annoyed was that the lions were told that they would get a home semi-final and they havent got it

That may have been his motivation - but his response was to make a 'suggestion' of how that situation may not occur again....

So unless you think your club would not benefit by knowing in advance, where and when it was going to play, and know that they wouldn't have the same problems the Lions had last weekend (specially if your club has cash flow issues - it is hard enough for the Lions to absorb the financial loss, let alone a struggling club) - then go ahead.....

......have a WHINGE about Lethal 'Whinging'.....in the end it put's you in the same 'whinging' category anyway.....
