  1. I wonder what is actually going on at St.Kilda, there must be big problems behind closed doors. They have always been close to the Cliff edge, but this time the Supporters are just going to walk away

    Ross Lyon talks alot….

  2. How can The AFL allow incorrect disposal to go on, just because the player has made any sort of attempt to get rid of the ball😡

    I would love to know who the person is, who signed off on this abomination. 
     

    there are 3 ways to get rid of the ball

    Kick, hand pass with a clenched fist or a Tap on

    That is it, anything else is not Australian Football…

    Carlton are losing and not getting every 50/50 from the umpires, pretty good game to me I reckon

    The rules have been bastardised to an extreme level now.

    Big time, went from being the most damaging player in the comp to just being an ‘ok’ player. You’d be paying for the Dusty Martin brand too over what he is now in reality. 
     

    The biggest argument for taking him at his name worth, is that he historically performs in finals to a freakish degree. 

    Yes that is the only consideration.

    Would he be motivated to play for another Club in September ?

    Yes it is, but how are you doing either in Darwin.
    I get the romanticism of it and if it didn’t further compromise an already compromised competition I’d be all for it - I think footy could do a lot for the communities living there. 

    I don’t think it will work up there. But it has nothing to do with Bums on Seats, and that includes GC and GWS. Yes the AFL pump money into these franchises, but the overall return on the Broadcasting Rights puts the entirety in the Black. 
    Tasmania and a 20th Club may be a different situation, it will depend on future Broadcasting Rights

    12000 rocked up but how much were tickets? Given how hell bent the AFL is on making money, i cannot see how Darwin is commercially viable given Gold Coast is probably 10x more appealing and is still yet to turn a profit in its 2nd decade. 

    We still have clubs that are not profitable in the existing 18 teams and unlikely ever to be profitable. Plug those holes before you go ahead and hand out another license. 

    It’s got nothing to do with ticket sales. It’s about Corporate Sponsorship and Broadcasting Deals

    It’s a different game up there. The local boys handling the ball like it’s not the cake of soap that Geelong are playing with.

    I think a Darwin side is a nightmare for the Vic teams. 

    There’s no way you could play a full season up there, the weather variations with Southern Australia would be massive 

    The odd game is all that should be played.

    I call that good management unlike us years ago rode the coat tails of the MCC for to long.

    I call it Pork Barreling of the Highest Order

    Government giving money, you said it....

    I have no problem with Government money being sought, but i am sick and tired of Jeeelong getting the majority of it, for whatever the want.

    You are a better man than me.

    I can’t recall we got anything out of that deal. We were such poor negotiators.
    I do remember we had to Play Home Games at Princes Park to Help Elliott pay for his Legend Stand. 
    Just outrageous!!!
