Well wasn't it us that wanted a home game in Cairns? Can hardly say the AFL are screwing us. We shouldve made the Cairns game against the Lions.

We shouldve made the Cairns game against the Lions. Yep one of our home games the club wanted in Cairns against GC. This however would have been an away game. I don't care about us only playing GC once a year. It's the loss of a primetime tv slot that hurts the Club. Sponsors want to see their name on show to as many viewers as possible. The more viewers accessible the more $$$ the sponsorship will be worth to us.
You do a deal with the devil (read AFL) selling home games - I suggest you read the fine print. You cant have it both ways, we want the big $$$ to play in Cairns expect the AFL to take sometihng off you in return. Sadly it is how it works, always has always will especially for the teams at the lower end of the ladder
Or a Home game at Docklands against Bulldogs or Aints. As usual.
