I've since watched the interview, it's outside his house, I thought they were sitting on the lounge together or something...

I know, but I guess actually hearing a former CEO actually say it made the reality a little worse than just talk/speculation amongst fans.

Sure do. Shouldn't get within 10 goals of the premiership favourites sitting on top of the ladder for 12 weeks...

Correct.
Top of the table, wearing the Prison bars, celebrating a birthday, massive home crowd advantage against a hapless, re-building, no culture crows.
Anything less than a 10 goal drubbing would have to be deemed a failure by those at Alberton.

Over the last couple months I've been watching a fair bit of docos on Kayo - mostly NFL.. cant help but feel like the AFL are constantly trying to adopt a lot of their ideas or methods.
So I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar "conference" style setup in the near future and creating spectacles for the "championships". Think the hubs idea could be the perfect testing ground for them

He didn’t say anything I hadn’t read or heard before. Of course it is a rebranded VFL and the stupid non Victorian clubs fell for it boom, line and sinker. The clubs knew what they were getting into yet in their haste to join the comp they somehow forgot that they held all the cards and if they had only held out out for another year or two it would be a vastly different landscape. Only 2-3 VFL clubs would have survived if the interstate clubs had held their nerve and a new national comp would have been formed from the asheswhufc wrote:The Bedge wrote:Anyone watch the Front Bar last night?
