Not to worry we'll soon be among the receivers not the givers the way we're going.

I wish the AFL would instead focus on delivering cheaper tickets and cheaper food and drink at the football.
after you add everything up it is not a cheap day/night out.

with so much money floating around from the television rights, it should have been made a priority to ensure that its more affordable to go to the game.(and i mean not just ticket prices)

Maybe the AFL should look at pumping more of a percentage from these expected increased Television rights back into the clubs.

Isn't that why we are going to West Sydney and the Gold Coast in the first place?

Would only agree if the AFL breaks the EFC home game contract with Etihad/Telstra/Colonial stadium and relocates us to the MCG

This is the only way the club could afford a big new tax ;-)

Sounds ridiculous. The AFL is going to punish these "wealthy" clubs for being well wealthy!

We need a Kerry Packer to come along and f*** the AFL. What kind of a system says "you can only spend this much", "you can't earn this much", and "we'll limit your success if you're too good"? For all the years we've fought against communism and dictatorships, here we are blindly following like sheep and paying memberships into the very system we detest.

Yeah, real smart Vlad

The Bombers are trying to raise money to pay for a first class training facility and invest money into the community and along you come and cut our net profit in half. Well f*** you idiot. How about we take a slice of your salary to subsidise the poorly managed wannabe clubs!! Bet you wouldnt be so keen on rationalisation then.

The whole Debate Our way has turned into WORTERN AUSTRALIAN CLUBS(i.e 2 AFL)supporters having another excuse to WHINGE at the VICS.

Even HARVES has got the DISEASE now with a WHINGE on Interchange Concessions for INTERSTAE Sides. :roll:

Perfect opportunity for AWFULL to Kick the Door open(after they got a Scientific answer that didn't suit on Rotations)and Play DIVIDE and CONQUER.JESUS HARVES! :evil:

Ditto...and the fact that Caroline Wilson 'thinks' it is a good idea is more than enough to show how f***** the idea really is...
