Copping it in SEN and RSN this morning. Think its what we need.
It was the most shallow and ill informed discussion I have heard. Still banging on about losing players, but since the go home 5 we average no more than any other club. They argue against a retention allowance, that's fine but remove it from every other expansion club as well.
Sure the club is not without fault for the position it is in but don't sit in a radio studio in Melbourne and pontificate about how football should be run in a rugby league state.
I honestly believe they would be happier if it went back to being a suburban competition between Melbourne clubs.
They also keep on about how the profitable clubs prop up ones like ours. Don't they understand without the tv rights that the AFL gets, more clubs would be in trouble? The current rights are contingent on having teams in non traditional states.
