Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11

Does anyone genuinely know a North supporter?

My son's best friend is. She's 5.

Nice leg up for the WA teams, particularly Fremantle who should finish high up.

We can't complain as we have the extra home game with gather round.

But surely this shows that Roos should leave the AFL when Tasmania come in.

This is a bigger leg up for the 2 Perth team than gather round.

This gives them an “away” game in Perth instead of a trip to Hobart. Possibly Melbourne but most likely Tasmania.

This deal makes it almost a certainty that we’ll be programmed to play North in Tasmania. The AFL sure as hell isn’t going to be sending Collingwood or Carlton there

Draft and trade sanctions please!!! Extended year Soft cap reduction for Geelong please!!

Actually punish Geelong the club in some way

Of course its a scam, everyone knows its a scam but the AFL will fold because its the AFL.

This wont happen because the AFL has an incentive to have more teams not less due to the broadcast deals. The only reason the AFL is reluctant to bring in new teams is because they are still paying the bills for a third of the current clubs including GWS and Gold Coast.

Aren’t they pulling north out of Tassie, hence selling this game?

Was it Melbourne that previously sold games to play in Qld?

I reckon it was in the early 2000's when Bris were at their peak.

It was Norf. They've tarted themselves all over the country, leaving a sour taste wherever they went, ultimately abandoning all of their fans in those areas.

First they tried the Gold Coast, then Canberra, then Hobart, now they're prostituting themselves to Perth.

Melbourne have also sold a few games as well. Most notably playing home games in the NT, but they may also have played a small number in QLD.

Ahh... but Port weren't selling their own home games. They were selling Gold Coast's home games.

 

[jenny61_99]

You can bet we'll be one of the teams set to play them there.

Had a soft spot for Grenville Dietrich once

Only Gold Coast would do that. They are a basket case. Didn't PA object to GC's colours being used because they were the Chinese colours as well.
