Analysis With so many clubs in jeopardy during the coronavirus, is it time for WA to bail out VIC again?

[JinmboJones]

Yes we all know what happened back in the bad old 80's, the beginning of the AFL, right? And the fact that era was bourne thanks to the blood, sweat and tears of Western Australia. Not to mention the creation of a club that had to sell its soul to the VFL to bail out a bankrupt competition in the first place.

Nevertheless, here we are again. Two of the most powerful and profitable clubs in this pissant league will probably be asked to donate money again to a couple of suburban league clubs masquerading as proper organisations run by amateurs. And yet again, history repeats.

AFL, you're welcome.

We're a soulless franchise created by the afl. You need to come to terms with this fact

Enter Joondalup Falcons to cough up a 4 million dollar license fee

 

[Jim Prideaux]

With all this money, surely a break away league would serve you better.

EDIT: in fact, would a break away state not be best. I support it.

WA.. Where going backwards is Godspeed.

 

[BF Tiger]

How dumb would WA be to let Victoria do it twice?

If it is such a pissant league and WCE is so powerful why doesn’t WCE bail out of the AFL and go its own way? Go on

Get over it mate, this stuff is real. We're all in this together.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

Getting angry about something you’ve come up with in your head and arguing about it with yourself is such a WA thing. Minerz rule!!

Nope, WA needs to bail out the NSW clubs, maybe the QLD clubs if they are feeling generous. Stuff Victoria

 

[WCE Wizard]

This thread its nuts, personally i dont want to see any club go under or insolvent

Now that you mention it, a new wing on the Tullamarine Hangar would be nice...

 

[blueboy25]

The eagles and dockers will be bailing out the WA Foooty commission first as they are a good chance to go bust and a lot of country and ammo's clubs will be in a fair bit of pain.

Evan Bourne?

 

[manicmagpie]

It's weird that with all that money in WA they still didn't possess any maps that would show them they would be travelling thousands of kilometres for every second game. Because it seemed to come as a big surprise to them, and still does to this day.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

booooooo

Jimbo I think you are a bit confused here... Candidates for the other powerhouse profitable club - Collingwood/Richmond/Essendon aren’t located in WA

 

[Macpotata]

ring da cops and bail them out of jail

 

[Great8]

It just tells me that there aren’t a lot of brains in WA. I mean only an idiot would not only beg to join a football league that was broke but then gladly cough up a large financial penalty just to join said bankrupt league. If they had any smarts about them they would have started their own comp and pick off teams from the VFL’s rotting carcass. Now the OP wants WA to repeat their past mistakes

There's roughly 2.5 million human brains. Not as many as in Victoria but you have chosen a weird metric to judge things on.

These are strange times, being bankrupt won't have the same meaning now as it did in the past. Expect deals to be made and leniency to be given across all industries.

 

[kozi]

Eagles to create their own 1 team league playing intra’s against themselves in front of a packed crowd each week where they’ll win the next million flags.

Two balls and every possession is a free kick both ways.
