The AFL isn't f'ed because of "virtue signalling" or "woke". It's because there's no equity in the draw. It's because we're seeing pay tv ramp up and free to air fall away forcing everyone to pay more. It's because the AFL gives draft concessions to who it wants without accountability. It's...
So, we do the AFLs ground work in China. We keep the donut in charge and run a threadbare austerity coaching panel and pay our debts. And we get given shit timeslots (the incredibly hard draw is icing on top)
Can we just go back to being an unsociable club everyone else hates and embrace us...
I can afford $25 month but I acknowledge it's a big luxury that I can choose to do that.
If you're in the UK and you want to watch your soccer team, you'll need subscription across multiple sports channels and it will cost several thousand dollars per year. Kayo won't always be $25. This is the...
I'm sorry to lose him. He's one of these players caught between too good for the level below AFL, maybe not good enough to just play in the middle at AFL so he gets subbed, shoved in a forward pocket etc and doesn't get as good a run at it as he could. He kicked a real clutch goal in a tight...
I wouldn't have picked Atkins either - I'm astounded he's here tbh - but I disagree that a bunch of speculative 18yo skinny kids getting beaten most weeks and claiming the first wooden spoon in >100 years does much for our AFL team either.
Winning is good preparation. A couple more Atkins in the...
You're not wrong. It seems to come down to what you want/expect a societally important body like the AFL to be. In one camp, shut up, administer the game that's it. In the other camp, do that AND use your status to also do other positive things.... Food bank promotions? Indigenous round...
Just my opinion (clearly I have no information what's not in the public record) but that famous photo of Wilbur standing in front of the creed about clearing out no hopers and those who aren't fully committed to winning... Jack was the least committed to winning person I can remember. Coasted on...
Putting aside all his later year bs opinions, Morrissey was a great lyricist for the disaffected. There are few more disaffected than the port big footy board.
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before.
Sydney's success is very important to the AFL. If it looks like they've gone stale under Longmire (they just played in a GF, it's not that bad), they won't have to wait to make a change, or be saddled with any form of debt that precludes A grade coaches and assistants. Same for both QLD and NSW...
