I was raised into the VFL/Aussie Rules culture 65 years ago.
I therefore was a VFL fan & selected South Melb as my team, & have supported the Swans ever since.
Don't understand your crap about "melbourne vfl fans".
(Never lived in Melb. Also, today the VFL is the Vic Reserves Comp - & in my opinion it is superior to the NEAFL - wish our reserves played in that comp!)
VFL is now used by non vic fans to demonstrate how vic-centric the whole league still is and how vic based teams always get preferred treatment in what is suppose to be a national comp.
Gil hosted a dinner for AFL coaches the other night and only invited Vic based coaches.
If the swans only have 10,000 hard core fans, then it says a lot more about the swans than the AFL's. if after 30 years in Sydney, the swans can only get 10,000 to a home final, then the AFL might think its far more important to invest in the Giants.
There is no need for swans "fans" to protest vote against ANZ. The swans are leaving, its signed in blood.
Like the much despised Waverly, we should give a good send off.
I'd cop a home Sydney Final being played against GWS being at ANZ. I know it would hurt us but I'd accept it as being in the interests of the game.
If we are playing an interstate team then there is no excuse for ANZ and the SCG it should be
Have said that, with a man as conflicted as Mike Fitz being in charge who knows....
Its in the interest of Mike Fitzpatrick that we play at ANZ.
