Just read this article and got really bloody mad! Here is the link: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/hawthorn-president-andrew-newbold-angry-at-afl-plans-to-give-melbourne-cash-priority-pick/story-fni5f91a-1226713988648 Does the Hawthorn President realize that the Demons are currently an impediment on the entire AFL competition (as mentioned by our CEO Peter Jackson) and that we NEED the AFL extra funding and the priority pick to actually get better?! Hawthorn received priority picks and that helped them win the 2008 Flag! They are now looking at winning the Premiership this year! I get the feeling that Hawthorn are jealous that the Demons are getting help. I think that is a disgrace and totally hypocritical on their behalf! We don't have 60,000+ members like the Hawks do! We need all the help we can get to turn things around! Getting Paul Roos as a coach is a massive boost...but in the end it will be player talent and hard work that will help make the Demons rise up the ladder! Equalization is all about helping the poorer and worse performing teams to actually improve and have an equal chance of winning the premiership. A strong and successful Melbourne Demons will be good for the entire AFL competition! The jealous hypocrites at Hawthorn can shut up!
