Pretty good read in the HUN and agree with much of what Pikey said, but then they go and ruin it at the end with the following:
Former AFL chief executive Ross Oakley maintained the league had done everything in its power to assist Fitzroy over the years, but the creditors forced the issue.
"We saved Fitzroy about three times," Oakley said. "We gave them dividends 12 months ahead of time and we all agreed to all sorts of funding arrangements.
"In the end, it was the creditors who moved against Fitzroy."
Oakley said Brisbane had been the best fit for a merger with Fitzroy given all the circumstances.
The said thing is, people will read this tripe and believe it.
