Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[Big Animal]

If this was about which regional city has the best long standing Pizza restaurant they'd be holding the game in Albany.

The Exmouth ground has plenty of standing room.

 

[estibador]

The delays on the highway plan won't work after all if they fly straight into Bunbury

I just came back from Margs this week and those roadworks are ridiculous.

If we bus down we'll spend more time travelling than North will!

Bears dude was like a pantomime villain, with the Washington fans laughing at him and pointing behind his back.

The composure of the rookie QB in taking his time until he could unleash the Hail Mary

Ash Johnson taunt, then dacking vibes

Norf want to play the Eagles at Optus because they’re shit and will make more money…we’re more likely to beat them and have less pulling power equals send us to Bunbury to a foreign ground with no advantage.

They can get ****ed

Means that the Amiss clan can all be in full voice.

 

[Docker82]

Surely it's a gee up. Doesn't the biggest stadium in Bunbury fit less than 8000 people?

We played an away game against Gold Coast and got 35000 at Optus ffs.

Think I’d go down to watch us tbh. If I could get a ticket into the ground that is. Sure a lot of this board would be similar.

I'm just happy we're going second. Guarantee year 1 will be an omnismambles.

 

[CapitalA]

Why is travelling to Bunbury good for us? **** that…

Better than travelling to Victoria.

 

[CapitalA]

How is Bunbury better for them financially than Optus?

Government conditions for the deal to promote tourism to the south west.

 

[bigfoopy]

I never thought I’d see the day… r.i.p

 

[Joao]

I never thought I’d see the day… r.i.p

It took me a while...

 

[Achin joints]

Eagles playing in the meth capital of Australia. Cuzzy must of lined it up for them

 

[freodog]

Government conditions for the deal to promote tourism to the south west.

The State government will commit appro $1m to host the game in Bunbury. They will recoup $3m in speeding fines with fans driving to & from the game on Forrest Hwy.

 

[BStaff17]

Nice for Bunbury to get a bottom 3 clash

 

[Retzlaff]

This could be good for us.

North Melbourne in talks to purchase 11 home games vs West Coast

 

[The Feeder Club]

Anyone that thinks the AFL won't be looking at this "extra game we've gifted them without travel" (even though it involves 2 hours each way of travel) as a way to justify actually maintaining or increasing WA teams travel burden e.g. two trips a year to Queensland, doesn't know the AFL

100% this

Actually a piss take they are sending a WA team down south in my opinion but well in character

Really just adds another stadium to the list of places Freo and WCE will play at that the likes of Collingwood never will

I think it's more a state government decision.
WA tourism are always pushing the south west.

 

[Madas]

I just don't see the reason why they would want to kill the geese here in WA.

There are no limits when it comes to f*cking over Freo at every opportunity.
If it looks like they are helping us then you can almost rest assured we will be screwed doubly hard somewhere else

Surprised they aren’t playing the game at Rotto instead of that’s the case. The ovals are similar quality.

So wouldn't it be better to try and recruit North v GWS/GC down there?

I'd be surprised if regardless who plays down there a game didn't sell out within 24 hours tbh
