The AFL - a national competition? (split thread)

[Blood Fever]

Pity if GC$ die. Not a pity if GW$ goes the way of the dinosaurs. Rather Fitzroy or even University are resurrected than see GW$ thrive. But that’s just me.

It’s not in us to bottom out. Not the Swans way.

I can’t complain about the TV networks. It’s billion$ the AFL wouldn’t otherwise have.

Also don’t care about the MCG as there is not other suitable ground in the country with sufficient capacity to host the GF IMO.

MCG grand final a blight on the integrity of national competition. Should be an asterisk against all Vic based teams who won the flag against a non Vic team that finished higher on the ladder. Hawks 2015, Bulldogs 2016 and Tigers last year fit this category. If somehow Pies beat Tigers and Eagles win, Collingwood will be in this situation with a massive home ground and home city advantage and would win in my opinion. Disgraceful.
