Such as.............?

Don't fucking act dumb .
Oh wait on ..you've got form .


How about the pick of nearly all the young talent .

that was when they were developing a team from nothing. They get no such favour now, nor last year. Anything else?

So stacking a team with talent to ensure their success is not giving them a leg up that other teams don't get .
Lol
You certainly are a brainwashed one

AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan has confirmed salary cap concessions will be scrapped in 2017.

Speaking on Fox Footy’s AFL 360 last night, McLachlan said sides like Greater Western Sydney, who have received concessions since their conception, will now have the “same salary cap as every other team”.

According to the Herald Sun, GWS have an extra $760,000 in their salary cap in 2016 as part of start-up concessions. A further $600,000 is also included as a ‘cost of living allowance’.

These extra provisions in the salary cap, as well as their fortuitous academy zoning, have undoubtedly allowed GWS to become so successful in such a short amount of time. After all, the Giants have only been in the competition for five years and yet they are on their way to a potential grand final berth.

But groups of external AFL supporters view the Giants unfavourably. Many believe the side has been gifted the chance of a possible premiership.

But while the support might not be there, McLachlan believes hard work and strategic list management is the real reason for the Giant’s success.

“There is extraordinary talent on that list that some teams can never execute to get,” McLachlan said. “But on the flip side, I think a lot of credit needs to go to people at the club who have used the system incredibly well. They’ve drafted well, they’ve traded well.”

Their aggressiveness and ‘team mentality’ was also highlighted.

“I look at them and to the success in development, but I look at them and the hunger they have before a game and they’ve developed a culture beyond the talent,” McLachlan said. “They’re an aggressive, tight group and that’s more than talent.”

But those terms can be applied just as easily to their opposition. And unlike GWS, this side has not been given their opportunity on a silver platter.

No no what we should do is pretty much guarantee every fucking friday night game to the same fucking club for tv reasons. Also we should never show Melbourne or Canberra on FTA television unless we really have to because who gives a shit about the small markets.

Then we shouldnt give a shit about our crowds at all, after all who needs them - we should just be content with what we have I guess and never seek to improve it.

Theres a reason that your fucking half arsed run competition comes second to the AFL on almost every business metric.

Well why in the fark do you think there doing it???? the most staunch AFL supporters, even Gilligan himself openly admit that they have resorted to using a lucky door raffle to try and get some interest during this period.

theyre doing it to potentially improve the product for more interest, just like the NRL and their flexible schedule, their isolated games, and showing the Broncos on Friday night FTA almost every week. Why do they do that? Because theyre struggling?

Also, they are considering many different options for the 17/5. To suggest theyve made a final decision on how it will run is complete BS.

I've shown you evidence the AFLs crowds dont suffer in the last 5 rounds. Have you got any proof yet that the ratings do? Or is this just another BS thread of yours?

He's gotta be close to the dumbest fumbler on here.
Why is he ignoring the WILDCARD .
Lol

Writing in The Age, 3AW Football's Caroline Wilson has revealed the AFL wants to split the competition into three groups - top, middle and bottom - for the final four games of the season.

The middle group could potentially battle for finals wildcards, while draft advantages would provide incentive for the competition's bottom sides.
