Yes, thats the difference between me and the average Port/ Adelaide fan, theyre busy hating on each other which plays directly into the AFL's hands.

Pride of South Australia, go the Crows.
Victorians don’t want their rivals winning

And thats fair enough, but the governing body held an inquiry into why you were no good, theyve done no such thing for us.
Its up to your club to capitalise on the situation youve been provided, the AFL cant recruit Ollie Wines, take a mark or kick the goal for you.

Well you say you support the Crows
Well that's your comeback is it?
I've seen many Vics say the same thing, "they don't want a Vic rival winning" they would rather interstate win.
So you are saying they are all liars, you know better?

Deflection.
I dont care about the result and have said it numerous times before and since the opening bounce.
My club will likely never win another flag, im at ease with that as i know a handful of extra Port fans means **** all to the AFL compared to Richmonds growth or Melbourne's should they get ovef the line.
Tell me of one non Vic club who could generate more additional revenue post flag by getting more followers than Richmond, Melbourne, Hawthorn etc.

This is embarrassing...
What is the AFL doing to stop Port winning a flag, they were in a prelim 2 years in a row.
Look internally for why they have not been able to get over the hump, not elsewhere.
If you honestly feel Port will never win another flag because they AFL would prefer Vic teams to win one you honestly should stop following the sport, why would you?

You’re practically a Victorian
Oh my, you don't care but just decided you would come here and have a good ol melt.
Clubs that would dwarf Vic clubs if they generate more revenue:
Sydney.
GWS.
Brisbane.
GC.

What was stopping Vic clubs between 01 and 06?
Why the inquiry, why not just expect them to get better without it.
See this is where that argument breaks down, the AFL held an inquiry for Victorian football and fixed it overnight, no such inquiry to us despite 15yrs of the pendulum swinging the other way.
Thats embarassing.

Nah, ive just come back from a short holiday away.
Ah ...now I understand what you are ...your the guy who thinks everyone should get a trophy ...probably don't like winners being announced in kids sport...wanna win a grand final ...get angry ..get even ...work hard...use the pain ....and seriously how f@#kin dare you with the who wants to see Richmond win a few flags ...I went through 37 years of pain disappointment and abject humiliation as a tigers supporter ...we earned those flags ...perhaps your entitled bunch should get off there arses and work a bit harder instead of year after year believing the sunshine being blown up your arses by the Adelaide media ...so you seriously want to take away the pain ,drive hurt and will to get better and replace it with a everybody gets a turn system ...yeah right that would be worth watching

You think thats a melt or is that the term you roll out when you have no counter..lol
No one cares about AFL on the GC or in Western Sydney, theyre NRL heartlands, a flag might generate 10k more fans for each if lucky, what was Richmonds membership in 2016 vs 2021.
I bet you dont answer that..lol

Dont bother, i looked for you, a 33+% increase from 72k in 2016 to 100k in 2018
Yep, NRL heartland and if footy takes a grip, your melts will be directed that way, they will dwarf Vic clubs.
Now instead of bitching about how big Richmond have become, how about promoting your club and use Richmond as a goal.
You seem the kind of person that thinks if you fail, everyone should fail.

If's, butt's.
Do i, no one ever held an inquiry into why were no good, why didnt the AFL just continue letting Vic clubs fail, or should we all fail because you lot did.

All I’m hearing is a lot of whinging from someone who’s team just got flogged in a home preliminary final in a game they expected to win who is now looking for excuses

All South Australian, Western Australian and NSW clubs have made Grand Finals over the last 15 years. You can’t just expect them to always be top 4 every year.
