AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
this thread will become nuclear by 11am
Yeah, we don't have people from our club who tweaked the rules when they worked at AFL house to benefit said club.Really? Turning victim already? You are literally the richest and arguably equal powerful club in the AFL . Victim card denied. Nice try
Yeah well, let’s not pretend the AFL isn’t really just the expanded VFL, we just created your club for our benefit
It’s the other way around. We existed just fine for 100 years, then we decided to go national and we created you and Adelaide etc.
If you say so. I think the one you're referring to was where the other player was in the marking contest and would have marked it if Cameron hadn't swooped across.
Bit like the Stengle one late.
This one, where Close looks directly at his opponent and blocks him?
Him looking at the Adelaide player is even more obvious on the behind goals replay(not in the highlights).
Oh dear, someone doesn't know the history of their VFL
Without the VFL the Eagles don't exist, fact.Oh dear, someone doesn't know the history of their VFL
The VFL came up with an idea to create some new teams and bring them into the VFL and create a national league.
Before this there was no such thing as the WCE, we commissioned you for our benefit.
Without the Eagles the VFL would still have expanded into other states and we would have survived.
It's been 15 years since we last beat freo, dockers by 10 goals easy.
Ok, you're just doubling down on your ignorance now.
It's embarrassing for you, please stop.
You got sold a franchise at a ridiculous price which nobody ever paid before or since. End of story
Q1: why do the Eagles exist?
That's not the question.
The question is: why didn't the VFL go insolvent when they were completely broke?
You'll find your answer as to why the Eagles exist right there.

He's right and they can't even beat Purple at their cheat ground. What happens if they play a prelim against Purple or Poo and Wee? Struggling.
You can continue holding on to that. Meanwhile Freo still yet to win a flag. When's that changing? I actually hope soon, it's starting to get embarrassing.

It is a firm grasp.
Entry price was certainly a stitch up for what we got.And you got totally stitched up on the entry price to boot
Thankfully we were just too good in '92 and '94
Hilarious that old mate never even bothered to question why the insolvent VFL was so desperate to expand the comp.
Yep, which is why you got a franchise. Nobody else was drunk enough to agree
Thankfully we were just too good in '92 and '94
Well… you only played the Handbaggers. Theres a reason why they lost the most AFL GFs
and Floglett Sr. retired with 0
You didn't swan in and rescue us, because you didn't exist.
if it went down that way we'd be part of the expanded WAFL and not the other way around.
The VFL got itself out of trouble by expanding and commissioned some new clubs as a tool for it.
Consider it like this analogy.
Single mum is receiving child payments for 2 kids because she's on low income, she decides to have another child to boost the payments. When the third child is born the payments increase.
Now that child is older and is trying to tell her mum he saved her from going broke.
WCE is the child and should only speak when spoken to.
