    Brownlow to Sydney

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...14/3190997.htm

    Most amusing to see Bailieu having a cry about "Victorian Football lovers"...must mean those that go to VFL games every weekend, this is a national competition and yet some want to be kept in the 80's.

    From next year it should be shared equally amongst all the AFL cities - over an 18 year period it should be held 10 times in Melbourne, twice in Sydney, Adelaide and Perth, and once each in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Simple really and would cater for all "football lovers", not just Victorians.

    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Yep.

    Won't happen anytime soon, It's contracted to MCG for the next 30 years, or there abouts.

    Brownlow is fair game.
    Gives the Saints players a new playground.

    I agree with all you are saying. Football lovers who live in Victoria are actually Victorian football lovers.
