old dee

Yes dc we are back where we belong and it seems fitting that we re-emerge on the weekend after the nameless one has left the game.

I have watch Casey there a couple of times in recent years. Good watching as crowd numbers were low.

Nice to hear some news.its beginning to feel a bit like footy is just around the corner. Thanks everyone.

It was a mm over 40.

Which like me has turned into a long term disaster movie.

May not be as strange as you think DD.

I can only imagine how many times your phone was at risk following the Dees.

To be honest Clint Yes!

Besides the fact that you have too much money fd anyone who bets on the MFC is really pushing the envelope. Your bet must have looked good in 2018 but this season? I fear your chances are at 100 to 1 at this point.

It’s sounds negative LH but I am from the same space. Seeing is believing as DJ said I will be more than happy with a season that gets playing finals.

You have my vote DJ. Just another article by one of the hordes of commentators who have to fill media space.

It will never change DJ. The AFL tried to amalgamate teams remember that exercise ? The only thing that might change is a team might move interstate. The problems is moving or amalgamating result in a large number of the former members / supporters drop off the game completely. If the MFC disappeared I would have little if any interest in Aussie rules at senior level.

Hmm smells of character assassination to me FD.

I was worried from day 1 Ernest. North made zero effort to keep him. Now I know there were things outside of his injury at North. But zero offer to stay. Let's hope it is minor and can be fixed.

Just as well we had no takers for Tmac!

Not sure why I did not think of that I already do that with Netflix and Disney+ with my daughter.

The game has never been more available that said you pay or go without. FTA gives some games each week. I have adopted the attitude that I go to games and if I cannot I watch on FTA the rest I miss outon seeing . I have objected to paying. Then along comes 2020 season that made my plan hard to sustain, I lost interest to some extent but I had a few things interrupt that the GP did not have. So here we are facing god knows what for season 2021 and I am forced to admit my previous practise will see me get to see only a few games a year. Decision time is approaching I will have to pay I am afraid as the alternative is rather bleak.

Google all over again DS!

I am not sure what the angst is about the vast majority of the AFL revenue comes from the media. After the last season when the media got way less games to televise the demand for more revenue streams would have been hi from the media channels and Gil would be busting a gut to accommodate them given the loans he took against the Dome of death to keep the league viable. Sport around the world is now mainly pay for view, FTA has very little. The only reason it still gets a chance in Australia is because of Government laws that keep it that way. The future is clear pay up or don't watch.

Unless he is replaced by someone from the outside of the OBC nothing will change.

Well it did not take long for the old boys club to swing into action with Gil talking about it being a courageous decision by Eddy and the pies to initiate the review. Gil defending was as sure as the sun rises tomorrow.

yes but only spilled over to the general public very recently, sponsor react when they have little choice. As long as it is not effecting them direct they look the other way.

It is barely 24 hours ago. Sometimes the results are not immediately apparent. You can bet some of them have been in contact with the Pies suggesting Eddy step aside as a minimum.

I am finding it very hard to disagree with the above binman, it will go down as a worst way case study for future generations.

No matter what club Scully went to he was never going to developed into a champion of the caliber of Martin. At that time we were picking purely on the basis of how players performed as juniors with little regard to how they would develop as senior players.
