Why would we bother?

It's not as if the AFL would ever listen because they're too busy looking after their favourites (i.e. Bulldogs, Eagles, GWS)

It would be ******* fantastic if we stood up for once and said that enough was enough but we're too scared to rock the boat because the AFL can make life very difficult.

Hell, the Crows stood up and then have had better umpiring since.....surely it's worth a try as opposed to playing against 21 on the field on a regular basis.
The worse that can happen is that we play in Tassie every year.....Oh wait

I actually don't think it could get any worse, especially if they change the draft order on us. So what have we got to lose?

The WC used to get reamed in their early days until Brian Cook joined the club and they went all out whingers with the help of the WA media of course and it continues to this day but it worked for them. The AFL got sick of them bringing up all of the inequalities and now they're one of the AFL's favourites as you point out.

It's not to hard to get under their skin. I just say how unlucky they were in the GF last year that they had so many injuries - Kennedy, nic nat no stat, Yeo, darling and the rest.
When they laugh at me and say they all played, I reply, no I'm sure I would remember Kennedy kicking a goal and NN taking a mark, are you sure they played.
It's hardly a challenge getting up on a west coast gloater. Soft kill. Don't mention nic nat because I could get started.

If you read my first sentence I said it was easy. Any thing to shut a Egirl prick up is a good thing, soft or not. And sorry but they looovvve No Stat so muuuch I'm happy to take cheap shots as long as they hit home.

Why is Essendon allowed to talk about resting and managing players to be ready for pre-season next year and not be accused of tanking?
There's even a thread on the mainboard asking for a priority pick for them. Surely getting 1/2 their players back would have more of an influence than a priority pick. Not drugging your players would also help.

Well to be fair the majority of their squad was banned. Everyone knows they are preparing for next year when their players come back.
