Sir Why You Little

I have been too many countries Macca. My eyes are not closed. Are you insinuating that Millenials don’t like the game of AFL? It runs for 3 hours about the same time as a T20 match. I just don’t like deconstructing a product that is already dam good. Just wait till an AFL star is injured for the year, playing this diluted hybrid. Kids still enjoy AFL. The overseas market will always be miniscule, why because they already have their own codes of Football.

But it’s not Australian Rules Football. It is a weird hybrid. The AFL wants to rule the world and will try anything. Personally i think it is a waste of time and money. Expats play AFL overseas and that is how it will stay. I don’t want to have senior players injured in a game that means nothing except to the AFL Heads and Commission ego’s

If AFLX takes off around the world, then i will happily say i was wrong. Maybe it will in 50 years. Who knows? i don’t think it will. I would prefer the AFL spent money on existing clubs as i think many stadium deals are still very average. We wait and watch the outcome

I understand what you are saying Macca. But why do we need to promote the game worldwide? I have never understood this. It is an Australian game. If people want to see it they can come here during the season. Changing the game to suit other countries i disagree with strong. Our game is unique, which is it’s appeal. This AFLX is just cheap garbage for the broadcasters to sell some advertising space. Somebody will get injured and clubs and fans will not be impressed

Well said. Over the years when i was studying, at times i went without food to pay the MCC Subscription before a finals series. Not all of us live in a Mansion with Servant Quarters. Quite a few MCC Members make a big sacrifice to keep the membership alive. MFC Membership is a donation right now. Can it be tinkered with to change that? Could be worth serious investigation by the MFC

So you hate all the people in the MCC? or do you decipher somehow who have paid and who have not? i have paid a full MCC Membership and bought a FULL MFC Membership for 25 years and i always sit in the Members Reserve and enjoy a great view Be careful who you hate. We need to embrace EVERYONE. It’s been one of our core problems. The Members v The MCC Reserve. We need to become one....

I like the attitude. Pert is aiming and expecting Big. It can be done. The foundations are there PJ saw to that

I am not pushing the Weid to be a leader, unless it comes natural. But we need him to play influential games next season. He can play, but now the opponents have seen him in action. His confidence and learning ability are crucial next year.

If the game of Australian Football wasn’t so wonderful and great, those running the AFL would be homeless beggars. 20 years ago i said to mates that Reserves Footy would return at some stage. It’s what the paying fans want. That’s just one decision, that has nearly killed of the VFA sides sadly, the draft night telecast was so cringeworthy i felt genuine sorrow for the production crew working it. Same goes for GF Day. The league have no idea how to structure the day anymore. A Curtain Raiser is what it lacks... But no they have to Americanize it all now...

Just caught the whole interview on Youtube. Future Captain i can see TMac wants to win serious games... The Weid must step up this year...

Yep. They should go back to it

Draft night should have been all done and dusted in 90 minutes, for it to drag over 2-3 days was just wrong on so many levels But it’s the AFL so i know what to expect

It’s all about TV Coverage and Media Coverage before the season starts. The AFL refuse to rest the game at all between seasons. They are obsessed with themselves

Fair points. But the AFL want product on all through the year. The want to crush other sports if they can. Yes AFLX is a BBL equivalent, it is also broadcast at the same time of year

Gotta flood the TV ? airwaves with something in the off season. The Broadcasters have bills to pay ?

Totally agreed. This AFLX is designed to flood every weekend with AFL of some sort, they just cannot stomach any vacant broadcasting time. Sometimes it is better to actually wait for something. To build excitement. The AFL refuses to acknowledge that fact. The Broadcast rights were sold at a very high price, and this is one off shoot we are thrown A player will break a leg or do a knee for a BS game Take note Gill Flooding the market can be dangerous

17 at least if the Backline is strong and stable. (A strong season from Lever)

After your 50th Birthday 100 days goes by really fast...

Please stop this rubbish. Nobody wants it or needs it. A topline player will get injured sooner or later. For what purpose?

That is just so Essendrug. Whilst most are trying to remove Pokie reliance, the druggers sign a 30 year extension. They still run their own law book out there. Those Masonic roots from the past are still ingrained strongly

Thanks to all who braved the heat today to write reviews. The Players and Staff get paid....

I thought Pert Came to The Filth with Eddie and Malthouse. If i am wrong i stand corrected time flies!!

No Pert was only at GTV for a very short time. I think that is where he and Eddie met up, but it could have been Austereo as well. Pert has run big organizations. That is what we need right now. Josh Mahoney will be an excellent candidate in years to come. But he is very smart to keep learning right now.

Suit yourself. The Filth were on their knees and in massive debt when Pert was bought in. They are now living in thebuilding we should have taken... We the MFC need to grow into the club we always should have been. Pert has the CV to do that

Some really crap comments in this thread. 4 time Premiership player who wants to give it his all to get a 5th Cup at a 2nd Club The exact attitude we need to cultivate thankyou Mr. Lewis
