Interesting pay structure at Melbourne. $1.3M for a forward pocket, $1.5M for a tagger...

Am I the only one that hopes that the AFL bringing football people into the fold (Swann and Harley) means the game might get back to being enjoyable and watchable and being 'the entertainment' rather than all the bullshizen that goes along with it today?

Need Tommy to really go against the #freekickHawthorn and introduce #freekickcats we've been slaughtered over the years. Remarkably still win when we shouldn't.

But at least the AFL can puff their chest and tell Tassie “That’s why you need a roof”

That is a seriously shithouse crowd at Adelaide Oval, given it's about as good a day for footy as it gets.

Why do people get so upset about crowd numbers not being as big as they think they should be? :?

Most people that do make a point of it obviously dont support the home Club and just want to take the opportunity to bag them.

Can understand people being surprised or a home supporter being disappointed a bigger crowd didn't turn up but what's with the anger?

I dont get it. :? It is what it is. So many posts saying about how shit the standard of some of the footy is and the umpiring is garbage etc.

Maybe just maybe the people not attending agree and have better things to do ?

Umpires are crap. The game is crap. Everything costs too much.

Why is the crowd (in my opinion) crap?

*****n fantastic isn’t it? :lol:

The game isn’t crap. It’s the AFL competition that’s crap

Rest of footy pretty fantastic IMO
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
