News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[Flarn Rarn]

I haven't been in business class save for once when I was 7. Do they also keep the pressure at sea level in there or are the Vics just getting lazier with the defence of the VFL's inequities?

The CBA could require our team to travel across the Nullarbor in a single horse float being towed by a tractor, and the Vics would consider it fair and equitable.

Travel is shit.

But we signed up to the comp knowing that every 2nd week we have to front up and play in the east coast. And the majority of the east coast clubs get to travel 20 mins by car.

No point talking about it other than demanding we have longer rest periods between games or three Victorian clubs reallocate to Bunbury, Karratha and Broome.

The most recent TV deals but have worsened the timings of the travel though imo.

Yes, we did, but that doesn't mean the AFL should just go ahead and schedule a 6-day break, off the longest road trip in footy, whilst the opponent gets a 9-day break and only travels a couple of times for the rest of the year.

True but the AFL could mitigate the effects of the travel (and many other disadvantages), however, they don’t. It is summed up well by the term ‘vAFL’.

Love to s**t on Pav but bloke spent years in defence and wing.

For sure excellent player, might have had more if he played more forward, my comment was on his age though - born 2000, barely makes the cut off.

Eagles: fortnightly travel has a massive impact on the longevity of our players.

VFL teams:

 

[whatis]

Salary cap and soft cap should be increased based on travel burden. Travelling more = working more. Affects coaches and players.

Nah, we already get 12 business class seats...

 

[Chris_6678]

I think we should trial maybe some double ups in VIC with 2 games back to back and then 2 back to back at home.

Pyke flagged that a little while ago, called it a “mini hub”. Play on a Sunday then a Friday night and tick off our 5 day breaks too.

Socialism as per the AFL is base on equality not equity.

It's good we only play 12 players so they all get a bigger seat.

I thought it was two to a seat, so it only feels like economy class, but the VFL clubs are making us realise the bigger picture.

Old mate is truly asking to get an uppercut.

 

[Monocle]

Old mate is truly asking to get an uppercut.

If that’s what he got, he should consider himself as having got of lightly.

It’s become a sick obsession for him.

This is where the vindictive side of me hopes that the karma train arrives soon.

 

[SumaGodCoach]

Turns out, death threats are OK.

I have no words. To say this guy has an incredibly unhealthy obsession would be an understatement.
