What disturbs me more is the Bulldogs being able to go it alone without AFL assistance and us having to crawl to the AFL, how far have we fallen that the Dogs are able to keep afloat and we would be drowning not waving without assistance...?

IMHO, 2020 should be put to bed now so resource planning commences now in earnest for 2021.
It'll need a bloody decent panel dedicated to logistics, frameworks, sponsorships and competing teams.
Action without bias and mature project managers.
Virgin was in trouble before Covid19, how they could sponsor anyone was beyond me when you looked at their balance sheet..

From what i can remember of that Caro article i was talking about earlier (cannot find it!) the dogs are better suited simply because they recently sold off a lot of land they owned IIRC.
Perfect timing for them in that regard and they'd be stuffed if it happened any other time.

Fair enough, thought it odd they would have the regular coin coming in to stay afloat unless they had some secret benefactor..

Can you imagine the crap that the fans of whichever club won the flag in that season would have to put up with, most wouldn't even want it on the official tally?

If we won flag 17 we would simply point to the scoreboard irrespective of what the rank and file have to say.
Winning is winning.
Its not like these circumstances are in our control.

Its not like these circumstances are in our control. Maybe, I'm sure the winners will spin it however they like but if it's a half-ar5ed competition it won't come with the same respect!
