It’s not seriously good money and scrubbers don’t make $400k, that’s a ridiculous comment. How long is the average football career? 6 years? And the average salary is $300k. Yeah it’s good money for a young bloke to earn and can set you up for life but it’s a very short career and not seriously good considering the crowds and sponsorship the AFL has and the shit they have to put up from from armchair experts who think the players somehow ‘owe’ them because they pay a gate or membership fee.That 2nd qtr against GWS ( at KP ) was diabolical , if they had taken all their chances in the 1st half they could have been 10-12 goals ahead at h/time no problem
Its ok to say beaten by a better team , and Carlton were miles better , their skill level and teamwork etc
But it was the nature of the loss ( and you have to factor in that even the scrubbers get 400k to play this game , and anyone in the real world knows that is seriously good money), right from the opening bounce , the 1st 2-3 minutes Geel were physically intimidated and didnt look like getting the ball pass the centreline , it was embarassing to watch
And on Carlton, as I’ve said previously, they are a team that has been developing for 20 years, they are in the window and stacked with stars. They should beat our transitioning team by 10goals. What’s embarrassing is that they lost to us last time.
Our boys will have ups and downs this year as is the nature of the squad. We’re in a hole atm, but I’d be more annoyed if I was a Port or Melbourne fan
