Well, the AFL has one of its love child's in the GF. Waiting for the meltdown if their other love child gets in too, what with Cola and all the concessions between them. I would have no interest in the GF if that is the case. I hope the MC is like a ghost town. Stuff the AFL.

You blokes weren't at the 91 and 92 grand finals where every Victorian was going, see VFL, look what you have done to our comp.... As far as I am concerned the Vics can take a flying leap and deal with what is thrown at them.

Yeah, the way you view them is the way the Vics viewed us when we entered the comp.
I love footy ,i don't bother looking for ways to unlove it.
Clarify to me where I said that's the way I view them?

I too love footy, but you'd be hard pressed to argued that GWS hasn't been treated differently than other expansion clubs.

What a mob of sad ruddy losers.
I can make a case for disliking the advantages of every team in the comp.
The comp is so compromised you will tie yourself up in knots thinking about it.
Bribane has all the advantages of Sydney but are shit.
GC have all the advantages of GWS but are shit.
Fremantle have all the advantages of WC but are shit.
The Bulldogs would have disappeared years ago if not propped up by the AFL
Most of the Vic teams are financed by the morally reprehensible pokies.
The Eagles weren't good enough this year,
Deal with it.

I can deal with Sydney winning because they're well run and have made smart decisions

GWS can eat a giant bag of dicks. Been gifted an all star side and the AFL have done everything they can to make sure they win a flag. We're given even greater concessions than the Suns

swannies - the VFL put a lot of roadblocks in front of us to stop us succeeding but we did despite them. GWS have had everything laid out in front of them to make sure they do

Things were not bad a decade ago because it was close to an even playing field. The expansion teams have ****** that

I completely agree Keyser Soze that roadblocks were put in front of the eagles. But that was the VFL (which the AFL remains, it is the same organisation, in principle). EXCEPT it wants to win the battle for Sydney. My beef is with the VFL/AFL. The Vic teams have been as screwed over by the expansion teams as anyone, except they get the crumbs that fall to the floor. The Vic teams have also been propped up financially by the interstate and wealthier Vic clubs. They can get stuffed as far as I am concerned.
Yes, they took the balance of 10 years ago, and reversed it so drastically for GWS and GC, that it beggared belief. The only problem is, it's the AFL so anything is believable with them. Ultimate power and control of the sporting scene is what they want.
