Enough beating around the bush, do you want Norf to fold?

[Waynesworld]

Not really.

If I wasn't in the yellow room I would like this post

 

[bontshow]

Overrating Norf TM!

Now why did you have to go and spoil a perfectly reasonable post

Well said, please post like that all the time

Cool meltdown, dude. Any chance of addressing the reality that I posted?

No meltdown (check out your fellow Norf supporter Hard To Beat if you want to see meltdowns)

Just pointing out how much you all love being victims and championing your nauseating chip on the shoulder, world's against us culture.

Gee I dunno, how'd this feel?

it was amazing to watch, sadly against my team, a regular season game i'm already over it, its nothing compared to choking on the big day now is it mate????????

 

[trickyonne]

At least they made it there.

Norf haven't been relevant since 2002.

Right now I would say only Geelong, Collingwood & Essendon are assured of surviving on their own terms for the foreseeable future. Carlton, Richmond & Hawthorn also seem pretty secure for the present at least. St.Kilda, Bulldogs, Melbourne & Norf are the clubs that will be under the pump the soonest.

As I've said countless times, 10 Victorian teams is too many. 4 or 5 would be ideal but even 7 or 8 would relieve the pressure on the remaining clubs enormously.

Explain this to me Bosk, if North and the Bulldogs were relocated out of Victoria, how does this ease the pressure for the remaining clubs. Are you assuming that the victorian supporters who support the Roos and Dogs would change allegiances therefore increasing memberships in other clubs?

We have a growing population.

Person A moves from City Z to Melbourne. North are playing in Tassie, so person A goes to watch Team Q instead.

Person A's son grows up and follows a different team... moves to city z and claims to follow the same team..... spends all their time on the internet posting about Person A's team

Why are you turning everything into a personal attack these days. Sick of defending your club's incompetence?

 

[ozzyoslo]

not at all, just bemused at the audacity of a StKilda person chipping in for his 2 cents worth. Howd you think the "doc" would have reacted to the schit some of your players have gotten up to in the recent past. = $hit culture/$hit club.End of story.

Cant argue with that. Good post.

not at all griffy.....highlighting the fact that some here are mentally unstable. With their posts.

Just for starters it would mean less competition among Victorian clubs for sponsors.

It isn't just fewer Victorian clubs that's required, its fewer clubs overall - 18 is too many in my view, talent is spread way too thin right now. Kids like Jack Watts getting a game at 18 when it was plainly obvious his body wasn't ready is what happens when clubs have such paper-thin depth.

 

[tonk]

nope

Well you are at complete odds with the AFL and their strategists.

good idea
less sponsors! Less Sponsors!! LESS SPONSORS!!!

 

[Bosk]

I think you mean to say Bigeasy is that I'm at complete odds with the publicly held short-term view of the AFL, which might very well be extremely different from the Commission's privately held long-term view.

More the point, strategies can and do change to fit the economic realities of the present. Right now things are fairly rosy with the TV deal bringing in record profits but things won't stay like that for much longer. 10 Victorian teams might end up being a luxury the AFL can't afford.

 

[Bosk]

You're an idiot.

But of course that will come as no surprise to yourself or the rest of us here. I just had a sudden urge to point it out, hope you don't mind chum.

No I know what I mean. You're guessing.

was just articulating the very point you were making
glad we agree it was idiotic
