....the AFL is the Australian football league and no longer the Victorian football league. Therefor to ignore the other areas in Australia is against what the game stands for. Against every part of the game growing nationally.
All you Vic fans cingrats on supporting footy for so long and sticking by your clubs but to have a national comp then you must have teams focussed in all areas of Australia. That means move, merge or fold for there isn't going to be enough money to keep 10 teams in one part of Australia and only 6 teams outside that small area.
We al love our clubs and would hate to see them die, so why don't fans of clubs that are likely to move or merge (any Vic club other then Collingwood and Essendon currently) support the idea and try to push there club to another level, a better support base and even majot success?
Why can't people get over the idea and just understand that clubs will relocate, merge or die. Its only a matter of time. The game is not the same as it was years ago. Now its controlled by money and money isn't centred in Victoria. Its more available Australia wide.
If I supported the Kangas or Bulldogs I would support a move that could see my club become very successful. I would still get to see many games living in Victoria. I would get to see my club at its best. With record support. Why not jump on the idea?
Weather you like it or not it could be your club that has to move, merge or fold. What would you pick if you had 1 of those three options?
P.S. If you answer the question about move, merge or fold then they are the only answers. Thias thread isn't about why your club will be great if only this or that blah blah blah. Its a simple question.
