Fixture related, but North vs Port in freaking Hobart instead of Marvel is ridiculous.

Hawthorn having their yearly Marvel home game against a Marvel tenant meaning we play St.Kilda there twice next season.

If the AFL ran the train network:

The timetable would say things like "about 5:30"

The train would seem to arrive at 5:45

But it would only be one, very small carriage that fit a couple of people.

Then a few more carriages would come.

Then they wouldn't tell you what time the rest of the day's trains arrive.

You'd just have to wait.

Jokes aside, the 'controversial marketing' tactic fell into the AFLs lap due to their incompetence but they've since embraced it and are now masters at it.

The goal is to align consumer allegiance with individual clubs, not the peak body AFL. Obviously not all but much of the issues and changes that arise are in fact raised by clubs, coaches and most importantly players - but the AFL will deliberately take the heat for it. They have nothing to lose by doing so, in fact everything to gain for the industry's success.

This in turn also generates discussion centred around the 'AFL' as the bad guy while taking heat off clubs. Everyone united with a common enemy, chatting about footy late into December...

and the cost of a ticket will randomly change in the middle of your journey before easing back to the old price before journeys end.

  • There would then be a rule to introduce a spare carriage to be used in case the main carriage becomes full
  • After a few week's of the original carriage not being consistently full for certain stops, so a new rule would be introduced depending on the intepretation of the offical at the train station wether or not to provide an additional carriage
  • A committee would later be formed to review the performance index of this additional train, but it this report will not be released to the public...because essentially it would be to embarrassing to backflip at this point
  • The spare carriage will remain in place but a further new rule has been introduced that on Sundays only, the train can opt ahead of time not to bring along an additional carriage as long as this is announced before 10am on Friday but it will be up to the station official to overule
