Re: The Great "Friday Night Fixturing" Debate - billybloggs - 10-29-2015
Yeah why don't we just join the VFL and tell the AFL to stick it right up their clacker. At least we would be back at Princes Park enjoying our footy. Carro and Lyon and their Carlton hating buddies in the media would finally get want they want and we would be free at last from AFL orchestration.
Wasn't Ayres at Port suggesting a break away VFL or maybe I was dreaming ?
We don't have to prove ourselves, we have given the rest of the comp 15 years to catch up.
With the exception of the Hawks with the southeast corridor and the Cats given Simmonds Stadium to satisfy the rural sector, only the interstaters seem to be catching.
Conspiracy theories LOL. Is it all about the money and **** the football? The minions will believe anything we tell them.
Ahh just a rant!!

Just exactly what I was thinking with these trolls use of the word......."Ban"........FFS ! I wasn't aware there was a tribunal style punishment for losing matches.

Unless we absolutely begged the AFL for some Friday night games, then they are the ones who did the schedule which makes you wonder why we are now being hit with a "ban" ??
Besides, if they had us playing one of the other bottom 4 teams it should be a close game.

Trigg should be out their playing up the disrespect angle;
- A traditional clubs being discarded for the benefit of the AFL owned newbies!

Im not too fussed really. If things start to turn around for the club then our supporter base and attendance will grow pretty quickly. We have a massive latent support, and that was one of the reasons for us getting so many Friday games: we attracted eyeballs. For all our putrid performances this past decade plus, we still have good support. Plenty of clubs have less than us and have not managed to capitalise. North were dominant in then1990s and still run chook raffles. Even Hawthorn came close to dying in the 1990s, despite every second kid in my primary school supporting them in the 1980s. Our crowds this year were much the same as the apparently exciting bulldogs.
We have alot of loyal and dedicated supporters. So, start winning games and then the league will make changes. Even Malthouse called us a sleeping giant.
I am just looking forward to next season and attending games whenever we play after 2 years away and having to sit through the insufferable streamed tv coverage.

I'm definitely not going to miss rushing home from work on a Friday evening then battling traffic to get to the ground. I Am happy with Saturday afternoons for sure. A couple of games at Princes Park wouldn't hurt either.

When we had players who tanked and were happy to put in gutless performances for various reasons, no wonder Ch 7 doesn't want us on Friday night. I'm surprised that Ch 7 isn't suing them for wrecking their flagship in season 2015. By the end of Rd 2 this season, I had given up on them as they weren't fair dinkum.
Finally, our club has decided to hold its senior players to account rather than pandering to them. Let's hope that we've made the point that when the going gets tough, the tough get going and the rest can p!ss off!

Mark Murphy and Bryce Gibbs?
They were weak as p!5s in the first 8 rounds of 2015.
They should never be in the leadership group again, and hopefully traded next year.

I am hoping that this is the rocket up their collective a*ses and shows that they can no longer coast along.
We all know and have always known they have the talent it is just what's upstairs that is lacking sometimes.
With BB and SOS preaching the 'give it everything or there is the door' attitude I think/HOPE they will step up.
