Think Tank Will your pissant, tinpot club fold or be included in the brave New era of professional Aussie football?

[Tiger2709]

Richmond will be coming back as Melbum #4. Just be happy you made the cut, minnow.

We're so cashed up we could buy Geelong FC then we remembered we already own you

 

[Jonathan Sausage_]

Eliminate any pissant club that hasn't won a flag in the last 20 years.

Easy.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Or Travis Cloke

Comparing Travis Cloke to Geoff Ablett...

Do you even footy bro?

Premiership coach keeping those less fortunate at the club in a job during a trying time, what a flog. It's why our culture is what it is, the envy of all others.

Calling Chis Scott "Premiership Coach" excessively de-values the term. Even overrated hacks like Paul Roos won 'em with their own team

 

[Lord_Flashheart]

Imagine the financial hit that clubs will take when teams with 80-100k members decide they want a refund, the financial damage will be substantial.

Gold Coast will only see a much smaller hit

Proud to be a minnow

The Big 4 are ****ed

Let's count this season in our 20-year rule so we don't have those sh*tstain injectors (and their dumbfark supporters) stinking up our brave new league.

 

[Lethality]

In the long term the unprofessional setup of the AFL will be its undoing. The competition is a joke with an uneven schedule, unfair home ground advantages for some clubs and on Grand Final day, as well as arbitrary rules. We might as well go back to the captains umpiring the game again, that's how amateur the league is. This current crisis might hasten the AFL's downfall, but it was already on a death spiral now that we are all exposed to bigger and more legitimate sports worldwide.

^ Kochie probably did a deal with the Chinese to get the AFL shut down so he could relocate Poort to Shanghai

So you don't think it had anything to do with spending $300m propping up expansion clubs in rugby states, one of which has never finished higher than 12th?

You need supporters willing to donate so no hope at Carlton.

 

[Baldur]

The GWS Saints, looks good to me. But I admit I am Robinson Cursoe in that regard.

* it'd be nice if we could relocate Kochie to Shanghai or even Wuhan

need to reinstated VFL.

go back to grassroots funded, non-corporate suburban footy.

drop all interstate teams.

bring sydney back as south melbourne.

 

[TazHawk15]

Any pissant team who has not won a 3 Peat in the last 20 years should get the arse.

That leaves.

Hawks
Lions.

Since we tore them a newie last weekend I think we can all agree and declare The HFC, as Kings of the Universe.

Should be a fun league

You know what Jaz? One silver lining with all of this isolation is that we will see a significant drop in teen pregnancies over the coming months.

Everywhere except Tasmania of course.

 

[Capriati]

WCE $106m - now that's a lot of coke

As of 2019 that figure is $121 million in assets with $45 million cash in the bank.

All of the other minnow clubs are going to be drowning in debt once this is over.

Richmond can kiss the Punt Road redevelopment goodbye for the next 10 years.

So you have zero liabilities?

Interest rates are going to be negative soon, enjoy spending the cash you saved while other clubs get paid to borrow money
