This league becomes more of a joke under Gil the Dill everyday. So @@@@@@@ing corrupt and Hawthorn are treating it as their plaything. It's so unfair and skewed, it's maddening!

Send it to Eddie.
He's a journo.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
To me the question is - why do the AFL want Hawthorn to keep winning premierships? Is Gill McLachlan a supporter of Hawthorn? Mark Evans used to be Football Manager at Hawthorn.
In the 2015 gf I thought - yawn Hawthorn will win it again and they did.
If Hawthorn is 'developing relationships' with certain referees - isn't this a blatant conflict of interest. Umpire Schmitt - who we dislike - is a barrister. He would know all about conflict of interest.
Why would this be going on?
Do the AFL press know about this? There would be a huge story here. Or have Hawthorn developed a 'relationship' with members of the AFL press?
Are we just a bunch of conspiracy theorists and Hawthorn are simply the best team? After watching the game last Thursday I don't think Hawthorn are the best team - they needed umpiring assistance to win.
If Eddie Maguire has such an influence over the AFL - what is his role here? Perhaps he's good mates with the Hawthorn President. Eddie is very Victorian centric so I guess he doesn't want the non-Victorian teams to succeed. If the Magpies can't win it then why not the Hawks - at least it's better than the Swans or the Crows.
What does the 'A' in AFL stand for???
LOL.

Notice how the Victorians are using the impending 10 year dominance of GWS to push for more pro-victorian agenda items.
Its all fear about the interstaters when the facts are
- Hawthorn has won the last 3, maybe 4, and Geelong 3 before that.
- GWS have never played a final yet.
By any measure, the last 10 years have been victorian dominated.
Brad Seymour (AFL WRAP 2GB) just had a huge crack at the inappropriateness of the umps spending 5 days as guests of Hawthorn at a pre season camp .
Said it just shouldn't happen .
Have to agree .

Actually it might have been someone called Gibbons who I've never heard of .
Probably is a conflict of interest but there's nothing much we can do about it now sadly.
It's a massive problem. But the blame lies not with Hawthorn but with the AFL. If you're Hawthorn and can get away with it, why not do it? Hawthorn must be laughing in disbelief that they've been allowed to do this. But if you're administering a supposedly professional and impartial competition, literally a billion-plus dollar industry, what on earth are you thinking letting this happen? What possible justification is there for allowing this? It is further evidence of what an absolutely pathetic and biased administrator Gill the Dill is, and how much in the thrall of powerful Victorian interests he is (especially Hawthorn and Collingwood). The man needs to grow a pair of testicles (although developing a scrotum first would probably make that step more useful). He is a joke.
My opinion is objective truth in its purest form
And by the way, the fact that this isn't an absolutely massive story in the football media also tells you a whole lot. They go into hysterics about GWS's academy when the Vic clubs whine after one big win, but it's basically crickets on something that goes to the integrity of every match that an unparalleled power club plays. FFS, it's no wonder I'm losing interest in this.

Totally agree. But under gill the dills leadership it feels like its pointless to complain.
