How many clubs should the afl drop and why

[King-Eliagh]

No, ur simply deluded wooksy. The afl comp is lopsided to billio. And it's the blithering basketcases which need to go in order to fix it.

Just be honest wookie.

[King-Eliagh]

Fixture?

Dear lord!

Wooksy form is one thing, being a blithering basketcase is another. Put ur glasses on and use ur brain. The afl's expansion has failed big time.

I mean look at it this way. Do you think anyone who thought karmichael hunt and izzy folou would be good ideas could've had the brains to analyse whether this expansion could work? Let alone do the number crunching necessary?

You've had fools at the top management levels and they've bungled the whole comp big time wookster.

You know I'm right. deep down you do. Now just open up and admit it bro

You dont dump clubs because they are out of form, and most of the reason these clubs are losing money is due to AFl polcies. So as long as the AFL has the funds, and continues to screw the clubs around with the fixture, then the clubs should stay.

Seriously how long can these clubs (heartland) keep wallowing at the bottom of the table with no relief in sight due to afl house trying to ensure that the expansion clubs do well .

How fans of these clubs continue to follow a team in a comp where they are given no hope of success is mind boggling .

[King-Eliagh]

Oh dear wooksys a bit upset.

I'll be the bigger man and say wook, you make a good point about the afl's obsession with crowdsand ratings. But you're not seeing the big picture bro. The micro not the macro.

The afl's promotion for gws coming into the league was based on tapping into the 2million plus population out there along with developing a team of superstar youngsters. Gc was not much diff. In both locations they thought the teams would be sustainable within a shortish period of time and somehow thougt paying khunt and folou millions would equate to thousands of rl fans switching codes.

The result? Khunt and folou fuckoff with millions of afl $$$. The teams make no real inroads into developing strong support not converting rl fans. The teams play like shit. The youth on the teams end out not being as crash hot as afl hq thought and end up drawing significantly on afl player resources instead. Thus taking players that would have otherwise gone to clubs like melbs brissie and Carlton. To this day I can't believe, given the very low success rate of any draft lasting five years plus in the afl, that the fools at afl hq really thought the original gws youth team would turn out to be crash hot in three years. Unbelievable lack of foresight.

It's a fukking shambles. I agree with some of ur points wook but Open your eyes and see the big picture mate....or....waaaaaiiiit a minute!!! Do you work for the afl?

[pussycat]

We're not talking cwowds here adumb.

Huh, you mention level of interest in your OP. Why is it you never like to discuss AFL vs NRL crowds?

If any code should be dropping teams you'd think it would be the NRL considering just how pathetic their crowds and interest Australia wide is.

That is simply BS! I mention all the time, I love to talk about how Rugby League has drawn the largest crowd in the very heart of AFL land. -discuss discuss discuss

You dont drop something that is the most popular sport in the Country ( ie watched by the most people.

Is phenomenal the amount of cash AFL is throwing at NSW and QLD.
Is in the hundreds of millions for those expansion clubs.
And then they still have long existing clubs like the Brisbane Lions in a lot of debt

[King-Eliagh]

its quite amazing. It's as tho the honchos down at afl hq have gotten together and gone

Andy d - "alright lads I'm leaving in a few years so how can we fukk this whole comp up big time to make the comp a shambles for my successor?"

"Hmmm well umm how's about we start by paying a couple of leaguies who can't play the game about 6 mil over a few years?"

Andy d - "Excellent point broderick! Fukkin awesome, that'll be 6mil plus down the drain and we'll also look as dumb as all fukk after its all done! Anyone else got some ideas?"

"How's about we put a whole team of snotty nosed weedy teens in to play against the men so gdubbyaes and gc get off to the shittiest start humanly possible?"

Andy d (as he fist pumps the air) - " fuuuukin ay jonty my man! 18 year olds with a rugby league player to boot against seasoned pros!!! It's gunna be hilarious! We'll be the laughing stock of pro sport worldwide! ...Well if anyone else in the world knew about us that is. Any other ideas???"

"How's about we give gdubbyaes and gc draft pick preferences so they get more snotty nosed teens who haven't proved emselves and doubly deprive our already deprived clubs of any opportunity of getting better?"

Andy d - "digby I always knew there was a reason I put you on the big bucks! Fukkin awesome mate! This comp'll be up shit creek without a paddle within five years. Great meeting boys, let's go downtown and eat some doughnuts :D "

Seriously, I can't see how they could've done worse.

'D' got out, he was the rat leaving the sinking ship. Gil's more stubborn, he's going to go down with the ship.

[AFLcrap1]

Yep .
Gil the dill doesn't seem to have the same power over the media that Vlad had .
Very little negativity ,or stories simply got buried when Vlad ruled with an iron fist .
The media seems far more open about Aflol problems now Gil is steering the good ship fumbleball .

[King-Eliagh]
