It's a bit too late for these sentiments. About 40 years too late.

The decision should always be the ground that will fit in as many supporters as possible to attend

Of course it's about the money, the game will be played where the most revenue will be made.
Example:
It will always be about the money, why do you think the planet is in the state it is in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The people in power aren't the ones who care.
Example:
- GF ticket average cost $250.00 @ 98,000 = $24,500,000.00
- Optus Stadium average cost $408.00 @ 60,000
- Geelong stadium average cost $680.00 @ 36,000
It will always be about the money, why do you think the planet is in the state it is in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

It seems the clubs are happy to take the advantage, which they deserve but the AFL isn’t prepared to take the hit.
Funny how the AFL doesn’t mind only allocating 25,000 tickets to the 2 competing teams on grand final day or making it impossible for 15-20,000 fans to go to the games in China.

I think you’re a bit off there, Sydney or GWS don’t play at ANZ anymore as it’s not their home ground.

Surely we or people can discuss both points though.
Beams issues aren’t new, so I assume Collingwood were well aware of this when the traded for Dane.
Football is pretty insignificant though when your health is in question.

Not really, or we could find a better common ground.
In the UK major finals are played at the major stadium, all other fixtures are played at a teams home ground, no ifs or but’s, no interference from the governing body.
It’s a principal.
Of course we can and should.
Doesn't mean one doesn't want the best for the player/individual but also wants the best for their team.
If Collingwood did know the issues around Beams (whatever they may be) they would have had to have taken them into account.
If they didn't, then they're being negligent to the club. What's to say the the Collingwood FC was the best place for Beams regardless?

Why shipping off Burton for Chad was the right call for the Hawks
Hawthorn made the right call to ship off Ryan Burton and bring in Chad Wingard, writes Marc McGowan
m.afl.com.au
Off the scales levels of poor reasoning in this article. Shipping off Burton and a first rounder was the right decision because Wingard is the same age as Tom Mitchell, regardless of what happens from here...

I reckon Wingard ain't gonna work out well...……….
Incredible honesty from Wayne Schwass about his severe depression during playing days.
I feel sad for people who battle like that, and I hope if there are any on our list who struggle, that they two have good support around them.

We are fifth, and that's after having played 4 interstate games as well.
Not too shabby.

I'd argue, though, that that'd be an achievement of its own anyway.
We're bottom 4, with a shithouse fixture (all Sunday afternoon games) and we're coming 6th for attendances having only played (of the sides that draw more crowd numbers than we have this season) Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon?
I'll take it. Plenty have been happy to write us off, to call the current circumstances creating a lost generation for Carlton, but it's always been bull.
Sammy Rowe named for his first game at the saints. Hope he does ok for himself against norf.
