Kruddler, since the TPP penalties we keep being nice citizens in AFL circles, and then pricks like Dangerfield or the Pudding Face Twins frequently stab us in the back after we support their causes!
Have a look at Nthmond and McGuire, both publicly opposed the Carlton / Princes Park redevelopment plan, claiming that such a venue didn't fit within the AFL's wider plans to benefit all clubs. Then within a month both launched their own boutique stadium proposals!
For years Carlton pushed for Good Friday football as part of the wider plan to raise funds for the RCH, built on the battle of the neighbours Carlton and Norp that flank the RCH. So what happens, Sheedy butts in claiming CheatsFC deserve the gig, and the AFL schedule the game against Norp!
In some ways our silence makes us the leagues buffoons. I appreciate bleating about it is not the solution, however that shouldn't be an excuse for inaction!
