Will The AFL take the answers to this Survey into Consideration??

And the Answer is............NO. Of course the GC concessions are way to high, But the AFL want to Build a winner, quickly. Sod the Grass Root supporter.

Cold Days ahead.

Garbage survey IMO.

The AFL should ignore it, and I'm sure they will.

You can Bet they won't Ignore it, but i doubt they will act. The AFL does what it pleases & the faithful fan, like a dog just keep turning up year after ear.

[Kiss of Death 732]

Any survey that have 1/4 of the entrants voting Brian Taylor as best commentary loses my vote fast.

I still miss Clinton.

[Sir Why You Little 36,587]

I still miss Clinton.

I worked with Clinton. good man. Knew his stuff wasted on AW. I miss him too.......

Miller may not kick goals on the ground, but he is kicking bags off it with that missus of his!!!

I think they will ignore it because it's a garbage survey!

AFL's best player........you get to choose one from the nominated list which includes names like Josh Drummond, Jobe Watson, Andrew Lovatt, yet excludes players like Adam Cooney (only the Brownlow medallist last year), Matthew Pavlich, Fevola, Scott Thompson etc etc

And the West Sydney vs Tasmania debate..........91% say Tasmania...........based on what? Because they play footy in Tasmania.......well that makes it sustainable I guess.

Are the Gold Coast concessions too much? Most people who responded to this survey wouldn't even truly know the exact nature of the concessions.

Is Andrew Demitriou worth his $1.6m pay packet..............of course he isn't because he gets paid so much more than Joe Public!

The AFL would be filing this survey in the bin where it belongs!

Someone may correct me if i'm wrong but i was just watching an Australian celeb poker tourney on fox8 and i'm pretty sure he was commentating! I've never been so excited by poker!

The fact that my vote helped Ling get the sexy title means that my time wasn't wasted.

[titan_uranus 24,559]

Any survey in which Ling is voted the sexiest player and BT is voted the best commentator surely cannot be taken seriously?

Edit: To further perpetuate the case:

48. Do you play fantasy football? Yes: 60.2% No 39.8%

49. If not, why not? Too time consuming 14.1%

Too difficult to understand 4%

No interest 22.2%

I play fantasy football: 59.7%

As far as the survey goes, I'm not sure, but I think I read somewhere that 25,000 people did the survey, so it's a long way from comprehensive but still probably reflects the opinions of most footy fans.

Any survey that have 1/4 of the entrants voting Brian Taylor as best commentary loses my vote fast.

I still miss Clinton.

Yeah, everytime I hear Clinton commentating on some old footage I feel like something is missing from football. Terrible shame.

But with regards to the survey, Dwayne Russell ranked 14th amongst commentators. That sits about right with me.

Someone may correct me if i'm wrong but i was just watching an Australian celeb poker tourney on fox8 and i'm pretty sure he was commentating! I've never been so excited by poker!

yeah, he used to do the boxing too. The guy could rev up any event.

Yeah saw that too. I'm guessing those who said yes then no aren't doing too well in their leagues or in anything else for that matter.
