I think we'll now ask and receive one.
GC will get one too.
The AFL have to step in because these results affect the brand.
Good tight contests all weekend would have had them excited.... and now Carlton and GC step in and spoil the week.
Something will have to happen regarding free agency too.
We cant continue to have the best players going to the top clubs or this vast gap that already exists between top and bottom will grow even wider.
I live interstate Lods. The AFL media this week sent this message. "It's such a tight competition" (pat thyself on the back).
I had a wager with a friend about how many tight games there would be (the cynic in me bet that all but us/GC would be).
Surprise surprise. Look what's unfolding. (Saints aside).
FWIW I had a wager with the same person a couple of years ago when Bulldogs were down. Mr maggiliggy told the afl world his greatest wish was for the Dogs to bring home a flag. I bet they'd win in the next 2 seasons. They did. Now I'm no Nostradamus but there's some fine coincidence in this here competition.
Agree with those touting system changes. Our mate MM repeatedly highlighted this in the media some 6 or so years ago. He called it a 2 tier system, and I wholeheartedly agreed. I don't want the buy a flag system back at Carlton (perhaps we're the exception atmĀ :
. I do want some equity across clubs. Geelong are the finest example of getting what others can't get. The infuriating part for mine Is, it's so blatant yet accepted. I can't figure it out. If we don't get a pp then no team should. EOS.
