A new team should get plenty of off field help .no probs thereFred wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2017 11:16 amI guess you would have to ask what would be appropriate to balance up the disadvantages of being a new team in a non traditional area otherwise you have a compromised or biased comp in the other direction. Without afl support gws would fold so there would be no point setting them up without such support. It's a vexed question. I guess once they make a decision to have a team there to grow the game in what is afl wasteland they have to put in supports.
On field it MUST BE A LEVEL PLAYING field or the comp is compromised .
& that's exactly what has been happening for nearly 2 decades
First the lions
Then the swans
Now GWS
To ensure their success afl house rig the comp.
No RL team runs ONFIELD with a bigger salary cap.....more money to spend on players( under different bullshit names COLA ..RENT ALLOWANCE ) or has been given the best young talents.
How any fumbler cannot see how this is a problem is mind boggling
Not really when it comes to CULT THINKING .
