Okay WP let me spell it out for you. The AFL wants to grow the game in these far flung outposts, so they offer clubs who are over the barrel financially a big cash payout to sell off their home games. Yes, you can damn us for taking the bait, and I most definitely do.
But the AFL are a disgrace for putting us in that position in the first place. Would they do that to Collingwood? You bet your ass they wouldn't. And if they did Eddie would quite rightly spit in their eye, as we should have done.
This administration is just RIFE with inequity and compromise, with Collingwood being gifted 16 games at the G every year, never having to go to Geelong, and seldom travelling interstate. I was just told today that they will be given ALL their home games at the G next year, because Eddie jumped up and down about the 1 or 2 they got at Docklands.
In closing, I don't think it's too much to ask for EVERY team to be playing to the same rule book. But obviously Demetriou and a lot of people on this forum disagree.
