Richmond & Carlton don't have a mortgage on season-opener

[10 FLAGS]

Essendon and Collingwood have a very positive working relationship that even their own supporters wont recognise. They work together to the detriment of every other club. It hurts me to say this but we need to probably create a similar relationship with Carlton. We can all hate one another and still do great business. Richmond and Carlton should be seeking ways to create more opportunities.

It can only help the working relationship if we are at least competitive onfield with Carlton which we haven't been for the past 3 years. If the hype generated for say the Cuz round 1 game occurred more on a regular basis because the game means something to neutral fans then that flows onto increases in corporate bookings, sponsorships, tv ratings, etc which equates to $$$ for both clubs and forces the AFL hand to lock it in permanently for us and Carlton. Due to our large supporter we have capacity to be a big powerhouse club again as we've always known but it's always been our pathetic onfield efforts that have let us down and cost us financially year after year for the past 30 years. Whatever happens next year we have to treat round 1 as our line in the sand game. Another flogging at the hands of the Blues and it'll be difficult for us to hang onto the season opener.

Maybe theyll let us win as a sign of cooperation

Dear Mr Swann,

    Please let us win round 1 as a sign of goodwill over our cooperation with the season opener. Your Blues can afford to drop a game as you will make the top 4 again in 2012 anyway.

Yours thankfully,

     Mr B. Gale

I think the Bombers can forget about the poaching anything after consecutive 74 point losses .

as long as there was a large brown paper bag attached they'd probably go for it too.

When you have egg on your face it does not matter whether is scrambled fried boiled or poached.

Good letter MT. Like the fact that youll be saving on printing costs with the minimal use of words. Well done to you!

Caro said tonight she is pessimistic about us and Carlton holding onto the season opener.

[Oiafi]

We've got bigger things to concentrate on than keeping the season opener. It's a good earner for us no doubt but being successful will be a better earner over the long term. Eye on the prize.

No problem with Cameron and Gale working on this issue as long as it doesn't distract the players or coaches. If it does then pee it off and good riddance.
