The root of PA's problems are due to its belated entry to the league - the fact that the Crows were created and marketed as 'the team for all South Australians' doesn't do them any help entering 4yrs later.
That and the SANFL bleeding them dry with the worst stadium deal in the league - how it...
It definately isn't, but North can't blame all their problems on the league's executives - it isnt their fault North have low membership and attendances.
Yes, better timeslots will improve this but when you get sub 25k to home game on a Saturday arvo, by how much will it improve? 10-15k max ...
Maybe that's cause you averaged mediocre crowds that season, and better timeslots simply can't be handed out.
Don't make it out as if the AFL are out to get North- high achieving clubs (on and off the field) are rewarded. Look at Saints, small supporter base yet they get around 4 friday night...
How sustainable is it from the AFL's point of view to have underperforming clubs on the biggest weekly stage ?? How long do you reckon they can accept sub 40k crowds in primetime slots?
They may have invented it, and they definately deserve more than 1 Friday night game, but they need to earn...
While Friday night games should be shared around (Blues getting 6 annoys me :cool:), clubs must earn it through strong on field performances and attendances. If North are pulling 25k crowds there is no way the AFL will risk having them on in primetime slots, the loss of revenue will be too...
The Bulldogs should be fine as the population out West is booming and tipped to house approx 35% of Melbournians in the next decade (up from 25ish). You would hope that the club will and already is taking advantage of this, heaps of young families moving in, send them a bulldogs pack and...
Let's be realistic here, what would happen if the AFL gave teams like North/WB more primetime night matches, do you automatically think crowds will boost to 60k+ and ratings 800k+ ??
I agree that they should definately get a bigger slice of the primetime slots but to argue that a lack of 'em...
Eastbay looks good and all, can anyone shed light on their experience buying off this site? Whats the shipping time and costs like?
Also, would you guys recommend buying skins from eastbay too? Their Nike half shorts although for soccer are $100 less than what you see at Rebel Sport...
Bro I swear I was joking I'm just having some fun, you know, footy's finished and I can't go to sleep atm even though I have Uni at 9am. What do you recommend?
And with regards to the lotto numbers I'm not sure bro but if I find out I swear you would be the first to know
I was only joking bro, your opinion means the world to me and while I may not agree with it I can learn to peacfully co-exist with you in society because I want peace, not war
On the side???
They are both premiership teams so I don't know what everyone is arguing about. Can't we just learn to love each other and promote peaceful co-existence?
That is the worst F****ng team ive ever seen you will be very lucky to win 5+ games in 2013 with that list let alone a premiership.
As we showeded this year its then just youth which is what seems to give false hope to so many essendon supporters. 'Oh reimers may be shit now but he will...
Collingwood 2010 will go down in history as one of the greatest premiership sides of all time.
Geelong 2007 were nothing more than a few stars who dominated because there was no competition.
In 07, St Kilda were still adapting to Ross Lyon's gameplan, Hawthorn and Collingwood too young...
Re: Fremantle 0 games at the MCG this year until next weeks final ..totally biased and unfair
Yeah sure with Freo's great record away from home I'm sure you would've been fine playing Geelong, St Kilda, Bulldogs and Hawthorn all twice. Just fine.
We finished first because we were the best...
Re: How Can Colingwood be Considered Premiership Contenders?
mY Foughts Are Dat U hAve seriouz grammer problemzzz.
We were extremely wasteful, 58 inside 50s to 38, 31 scoring shots to 21 yet we couldn't capitalise on our opportunities up forward. To be honest I'm happy with a draw considering...
Haha you flog, Leroy is a spud but only cost us pick 73. Both Rus and Wood are injured, give them time to recover and they'll be AA mate.
Oh, and Robbie Warnock says hi bro.
No BlackFlog, we are the better side overall and if we play our best we will beat you every day of the week. Suck it up princess, your team of tanking cheats contained 10+ Top 25 picks who are 'allegedly' talented yet copped an absolute belting by a supposedly inferior list.
Too many of your...
As one of the posts stated above, your top 6 players would walk into any team's starting lineup, but what about the bottom 6-8 ??
Guys like hodge, sewell and franklin can all have stellar seasons and be selected for AA or what not, but at the end of the day, if your bottom 6-10 players aren't...
Even if we did overpay, which we didn't, but if we did, YOU were UNDERPAID. You got nothing for him, when you could've at least had pick 30 and picked up a youngster. St Kilda lose.
No way, he's weak in the marking contest, and makes stupid decisions with the ball. When the ball hits the deck, he's gone.
Josh's best is quite good, but he hasn't been consistent for years and unless he can improve considerably in the next few weeks, his spot in the side will come under...
