Yeah well next year's wish list ad better have the following.

I enjoy NRL on the odd occasion, it will be played in empty stadiums in 10 yrs. I am always amazed by how few people are in attendance when watching it.

The  trouble and strife and I went to a game in Townsville recently between the Cowboys and the Raiders. There were 14,004 people there and the atmosphere was just not there. We had never been to Rugby before but frankly you wouldn't go back. It was as flat as a biscuit.

Thanks, GraveyBeef.

None of those items have occurred to anyone before as things that might be beneficial to a footy club.

It's gratifying to have knowledgeable football/business experts like yourself here to show us the way out of extinction.

It's easier for the AFL to pander to the larger clubs with the "fixture" and keep the others on the drip. Times are a'changing. Keep playing the way we are and maintain being the 4th best in attendance and things HAVE to change. Excluding the NT attendances.

I’m wondering who DaveyDee wanted us to believe he was. Was it Schwab? Good riddens weirdo.

GraveyBeef was just another hot shot graduate from the marketing diploma at TAFE, with stars in his eyes, but interning at AFL house.

In between swallowing AFL propaganda, he spent most of his time desperately trying to claim an open plan hotdesk so he could sneak a few minutes on Demonland, enlightening us all as to the latest big ideas coming out of head office, and instructing us on how to run a football club, based on his long years of experience what he read in his course materials.

The only club he was a member of was the coffee club in the marketing department at AFL house. Taking his turn to make the expedition to Officeworks to load up on Nescafe 43 bean, and Tim Tams.

Now all those years of sage wisdom are lost to us, like chicken poo being shovelled from the Punt Road car park.

He never did tell us what exciting synergistic opportunities were going to come of the cartoon company's takeover of Docklands. I suppose it's because he never got to overhear his bosses talking about it in the marketing department tea room.

Nope - you earn the fixture over many years not 6 games of fantastic onfield results. Think the AFL prefers to have a proven history - think first game of the season every year. 

Your logic is a tad askew. Carlton has the worst win/loss record of all clubs (bar the two newbies) in the 2000s. Please don't tell me you are arguing that Carlton is being rewarded for its form in the 70s and the 80s.
