Don't forget the impact of the draw on Sponsors, it is monumental.
Now as a sponsor do I want my logo on free to air TV in front of a national audience against the Pies, Blues or Bombers on a friday night, or would I prefer on Foxtel only, at 4.30 on sunday afternoon against the Giants. Let me see.
Please somebody, get me on a show against Eddie, Sticks, Newbold etc and I promise to rip a new orifice for each of them.
The AFL is turning the equalisation argument into begging.
