flggr It is now Geelong's flag to lose.

You didn't swan in and rescue us

That's exactly what the WAFC did.

Still finding it hilarious you talk about the 'VFL', yet have NFI how close the comp came to ceasing to exist if it weren't for the millions from the WAFC.

The rest of your post just continued to prove your utter ignorance, so I cbf reading/quoting it.

The VFL was the league you joined in 1987, Nimrod

The AFL didn’t exist until 1990

We milked you like the cash cow you were

The VFL was the league you joined SAVED in 1987

FTFY.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Yes, with the millions we charged you for entry you saved us from finding the money elsewhere

Yes, you saved it with the millions we charged you for entry, thereby saving us from finding the money elsewhere

Where would you have found it?

Bearing in mind a number of your clubs were a couple of weeks from being insolvent.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

We would have found some other rube to give us a cow for a handful of ‘magic’ beans

We basically opened the door for you to destroy your own league for our gain and you think you saved us.

We did save you.

We shouldn't have though.

Seeing half the current Melbourne clubs only through the annals of history would've been great.

Instead, we get a WWE-style league.

The WAFL should have launched a takeover of the VFL seeing it was so strong at the time

They still don’t get it

We ripped you off, and you don’t even get to vote for who runs your club

VFL licence bid and club formation​

During the 1980s, the VFL and WAFL were struggling and both leagues came to the conclusion that a national league was the key to their survival, the VFL Commission voted in 1986 to grant licenses to Perth and Brisbane.

Sounds like a mutually beneficial arrangement rather than a knight in shining armour job.

Do Collingwood supporters get to vote on who runs their club? In light of recent news, that explains a lot.

Sounds like you should actually bother to watch the many documentaries, or read the book, detailing how the VFL was on its last breath before the WAFC saved it.

Members of every club do

Except for yours

 

[bzparkes]

Members if every club do

Except for yours

Sounds like you lot need to Do Bettererer.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Sounds like you got ripped off by the VFL and shafted by your own club

The wiggles only want their members for their money, the same reason they were permitted to join the VFL in the first place

Meanwhile the GF is still at the MCG every year

It's our competition, we created it and therefore we are entitled to take what we want when we want it. It's just that simple. Geelong are the main character.

We need to be careful not to make it too obvious we have the cheat code but I think we could use it again this year and probably get away with
