You'll have more luck convincing us than you will a lot of your Port brethren who keep telling us SANFL flags matter.

Port was the greatest club of the semi-professional era of football. That era has now passed and we are intent on becoming the greatest club of the professional era.
Let's all laugh at franchises like Bitchmond, Essendrug and Carlspoon who continue to point furiously like Brendon Goddard at glories long-past, as a desperate attempt to stay relevant

I quite agree. If Collingwood can adapt to the professional era so successfully what's the excuse for the other three "big 4" clubs?Let's all laugh at franchises like Bitchmond, Essendrug and Carlspoon who continue to point furiously like Brendon Goddard at glories long-past, as a desperate attempt to stay relevant
- Carlton have struggled since they were forced to put away the chequebook. Most of their 95 flag team were purchased before the draft was implemented and we know they cheated the salary cap that year, another equalization mechanism they've struggled to get their head around.
- Essendon have been a rabble since the departure of Sheedy. I could list the club's woes since then but don't feel like writing a novel.
- Richmond exists only to troll its own supporters, a job it does year in, year out with supreme skill and soul-crushing effectiveness.
"Oh oh but we get big crowds to our games!" their supporters always bleat in the vain hope the rest of us actually care. Its embarrassing that the league continues to use these inept relics of a long-dead era to showcase the sport to neutrals. Hawthorn vs Geelong and the interstate derbies have been the only rivalries that have mattered over the past decade yet we're forced to suffer Anzac Day, Dreamtime at the G and all the other manufactured "blockbusters" every year because the league insists on valuing crowd numbers & ratings higher than the quality of the matches themselves.
So once again we have to endure another Richmond vs Carlton season opener, knowing with 100% crystal clear certainty the match will be rubbish after the first 10 minutes.
You know what these three faux-big4 clubs have in common? They're being run about as ****ing amateurishly as the league itself - and by a Carlton flog no less, what a coincidence!
Seriously though - this 'season opener' hasn't been relevant or provided any sort of contest or excitement for years & is a bit of an embarrassment to our great game

Yeah I know, you really need something more out of the game you ungrateful prick.
Watching carlton 7 times or whatever it was on a friday night was punishing.
Look throw up collingwood or north piss carlton off til they are decent again.

"From the time you got your shit together" vs "when we joined the league" . The race doesn't start for each runner when they "feel good about themselves" it starts when the gun goes off. You were founded in 1914 boy. You had the same number of players as us on the pitch, the same number of arms and legs.
Your clubs shitness is part of your clubs history. EMBRACE IT. When you lie or hide the truth you kill a part of yourself.
Starting your clubs existence from 1961 is an act of contempt on your part for every player who wore the brown and gold for decades before that.
Quite right, I buggered up my maths.
I do understand how your nerd brains work. You want to start the clock from when your club started winning. Its the squeal of a spoilt child "no mum I wasn't ready" "give me a hotel on mayfair or I will cry myself to sleep" "Collingwood had money when they were a povo suburb so flags won on a level playing field don't count".
You're in the men's league. Act like a man. If you don't have a strong father figure find one and stop the squealing.
He may well be, you have no argument from me. That's OT though, see my thoughts in the other thread.
.... I can't wait to watch him crash & burn next year the way Hird & Voss did.
You see there's your problem right there. You have a beaut side with a very talented coach, but you're obsessed by Essendon and Collingwood, the clubs with more flags. Sweetie I encourage you to grow up.
Tuggers and Blues can fap until the cows come home about kicking off the season.. Hawks will focus their efforts off on finishing off the season!!

CARLTON has been savagely erased from the Friday night schedule.
The AFL will on Thursday announce the Blues will not play on a single Friday night in the 2016 season.
The slap in the face from AFL headquarters comes after the Blues played six Friday night games this year for zero wins and an average losing margin of 75 points.

Poor fixturing by the AFL. Should be the premiership favourites squaring off in a battle of the titans!
North Melbourne vs Hawforn Hawfs
Not sure why Tigs and bloos start off the season...they haven't been contenders for eons.

It's because we're part of the Big 4, something you'd know nothing about.
