I fully accept it on Melbourne radio or in a Melbourne newspaper selling their product locally but not on NATIONAL afl show like OTC, AFL 360, Talking footy etc that's why a lot of Victorian club supporters are so illiterate when it comes to anything outside Melbourne. It's why they have no understanding how Sydney have built a great list, no it's given to them by academies n the afl let them have more money. It'll be the same with Brisbane as they build their list over the next few years n it becomes a very good side, the Victorian public will say the same thing N the usual suspects will jump up n down like spoilt kids throwing their toys out the cot. The clubs are national, the competition is national but the media are still stuck in the old vfl days.
