No offense EB1, but the Dawks success was gifted by the AFL.
Outside of GWS no other club in AFL history has had such a run of charitable assistance from the AFL. When Fitzroy hit the skids the AFL gave them the bum rush, the Demons got nada, Sth Melbourne had to become Sydney to scrape out a living. The Dawks got a stadium, it's surrounding suburbs and a whole state gifted to them!
Further, they gave the Dawks priority picks in the same seasons we were banned form the draft, effectively they got an extra 2 or 3 equivalent first round picks in that period!
We won't ever get that sort of assistance, and nobody should! The Dawks are the monster the AFL created, the next one is GWS!
