Think Tank It's time we supported Perf and evened up the travel disadvantage

[zackah]

Hai friends, I bring to you a topic of utmost importance for the integrity of the competition.

Perf teams are calling out the unfair advantage of having to travel great distances to play the AFL (despite the damning evidence to the contrary).

Fremantle and West Coast reportedly want Victorian teams to play home games in Western Australia in an attempt to balance the fixture.

My first reaction?

But then I got to thinking. Am I being unfair? Its time we think about the competition as a whole instead of gaining an unfair advantage to Victorian teams due to #VICBIAS

So Perfies I have given this close consideration and I now agree. I wholeheartedly support your demands. As it stands due to the 200,000 supporter powerhouse that is the Hobart Devils it appears there is a whore your home game to interstate nuffies opening up shortly.

Welcome to Perf, Norf and Horf

I'm a bit confused. So the proposal is that a Vic club plays a home game in Perth. Does that Vic club then travel to Perth again later in the season?

Please don't ask for details.

Third WA team solves this issue, and the bye problem with Tasmania coming in. Somehow I don't think it's going to be seen as the sensible solution it is by Freo and the Weagles though

Typical of these fossil fuel addicted states, not a care in the world for the carbon footprint of the game!!!111

The Broome Dropbears has a nice ring to it

If only someone had told Wurst Coast and Failmantle before they joined the league that the majority of teams are in Melbourne, and that Melbourne is a long way away from Perf

 

[GudOnya]

Playing extra games in WA sounds like a stupid and pointless idea.

They should just make all the VIC teams playing away at the G or Marvel fly to Brisbane and back before the game.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

If WA's AFL clubs don't want to be in the AFL they are welcome to piss off back to the WAFL.

Cry more you sand groping grinches

Well and truly stolen the mantle from the West Horshamites as Australia's biggest whingers.

 

[Tiger2709]

Even better idea to even up the travel, all the interstate sides could play all their home and away games in Melbourne?

 

[STPer18]

There's plenty of homeless Melbourne clubs down this way that they can have. Any team that plays a HOME game at the carpark that is Marvel should be uprooted to Perf for a game or two.

For clarity that includes:

• Norf
• Essendope
• Footscratchers
• Carlshit
• ShitKilda
• Colliwobbles
• Hawforn
• 17thMOND

 

[Chronz]

No problem, we love playing at Optus oval. Wouldn't mind more games at Adelaide oval either, anything other than that shitheap Marvel.

 

[crazywildhorse]

Remember when WC and Fremo had the whole league play half a season there? Massive flop for WA football.

Now TAS has a team, the 3rd WA team could realistically be the kangaroos.

Edit.

Maybe this is why they don’t like the travel:

Maybe Geelong could play some games in WA it would give them a chance of playing home games on a football oval for a change?

 

[V_23]

Yeah, it’s not fair. Essendon will also have to do a lot of travelling this season, from 2nd on the ladder all the way to bottom four…

They play plenty of home games on the G because the AFL appreciate Melbourne people don't want to travel out to Geelong to watch their teams. I mean, who would?

Why inconvenience the many for the benefit of the few. Instead screw the few for the amusement of the many. West Coast and Fremantle can play half their home games in Melbourne, staying in Melbourne between games.

Fixes their issue, helps re greenhouse gases and when their flog fans whine, we can honestly tell them it is for their own benefit, we are helping them. They wanted the travel issue fixed, well fixed it will be.

Then maybe we can stop subsidising your broke and battling Melb clubs as well.

Having less Melb clubs would reduce carbon emissions.

Wat, fixed your travel issue and you are all whiny. Some flogs cannot be helped.

Move Perf to between Portland and the SoufStraya border. Nothing happening there.

Problem solved
