It's reached comical levels how much we are getting ****ed on the grand scheme of things though. Like, there has never been a bigger disadvantage to being a WA or SA club. WC for all their faults are getting ****ed on the draft, we are getting ****ed on trying to compete while doing the travel we are. At least SA clubs get a literal extra home game every year.Well they do. Of course.
But that’s not news for anyone.
What’s being lost on people is every team gets to lobby the afl for certain fixtures, us included. For example we look for a home Len Hall game every year.
We ask to play an Adelaide team before or after gather round. Things like that.
Where things could be more fair is looking into how often the SA, Qld and Sydney teams as well as WCE, play in Launceston. I haven’t looked that that. It shouldn’t be any more frequent than us.
This was our first Launceston game since 2021 from memory though. We played them at the G last year in R23 because the hawks had some kind of anniversary that weekend I think I recall.
My biggest fear is we will be playing the new Tassie side at York park more often than we should. They will surely play 2-3 a year up there.
It's just another shit sandwich to chuck into the picnic and honestly, **** that big club noise. I'm pretty sure Hawks WANT to play there and asked for it ages ago. The numbers of who has played there and who hasnt is just bullshit, then you read some ******* on a big vic board crying about their fixture or Sydney nuffy cry about how unfair it is while never missing finals because they get elite talent top ups every 3 or so years for free and it's just all infuriating.
We sound like whiney kids but honestly, with the record every club has against Hawks in Tassie, is it not reasonable to suggest playing their just cost us outright 2nd? "Git good" and all that, but why do we have to "git gooder" then every other team in order to complete ALL while literally giving more money then most other clubs so other clubs can keep having a leg up on us.
Nup, not copping it, the whinging will continue until fairness improves.
End rant
