that pathetic low-life wanker you clown, you think we would have more chance winning a flag if 4 sh*t side in melb became non-existant ???
Just by chance, Brisbane, Port Adelaide, Adelaide and West Coast have won 8 of the last 12 flags and the 4 clubs you think will go by the wayside have pretty much won fck all other than North Melb. So how by your rationale would we win more flags just cause we manage to secure more sponsorship ??? We are big time in the sponsorship market now and I don't see us winning flags !!!
Get an idea first on the big picture instead of bagging everyones opinion which you obviously have fck all idea on !

How is Kerry Packer's current predicament any different to the predicament 7 were in last time when 9 & 10 got together?
Just think....if 7 & 10 prevail, Ed can go back to just doing the footy show on Thursday nights (like they did well before they had the coverage rights) and devote more of his time to being our Prez.

And not to mention the fact that along with being a collingwood fan, I am a footy fan as well.
To see clubs disappear like Melbourne who have been around for the longest of any club, the Bulldogs and Kangaroos who without doubt are the best bunch of scraggers in the league would see an end to the quality footy we enjoy now.
Less teams to me would be a farce of a competition and the AFL would die a slow death !
And what will a flag mean to you when the AFL is a two bit street whore of a competition in 10 years time ?

Why can't the afl listen to the people, people on this board complain that they do not see afl to the late hours of the night. I had to laugh when hird said nine have done wonders with friday night football. I have not seen a live game on my screen unless power or crows are playing.
I would like to see foxtel have control of showing all games. If nine can not show live games on friday night and on sunday give it to someone else who will. |

With no disrespect to interstate supporters, I think a lot of what Ed's saying does have some merit. I mean channel 7 taking the AFL to court in a 400 odd million dollar lawsuit is outrageous! If thats fair dinkum, then thats a bloody disgrace. How can channel 7 even try and get back the footy with a straight face, whilst doing that to em? That means the whole tv rights contract just cancels itself out.

Already explained it meathead, nothing to do with other Vic teams taking premierships away from us, I swear to god it's like talking to Carlton supporters |

Not a single one of you read what I said on the first page.... I take it back Carlton, it's more like talking to Saints supporters |

There is one huge advantage if 3 or 4 teams dissolve/merge.
That is we will finally have a balanced draw where every team plays each other twice.
No more coming up against the premiers twice and the spooners once due to our pulling power. As this is the way the draw is done atm, and making finals can depend on percentage, then this is something I would like to see. |

I am assuming you have never been around a club (not just AFL, local, any sport) with financial difficulty before.
How can you be so laissez faire about losing teams.......hits very deep and hard with all supporters, not just the supporters of the team involved.
As for Eddies rant, he was always going to support channel 9. Frankly I prefer Quartermain and Lane (not so Walls, would prefer Lyon) as their commentary is more relaxed and less structured....something you can sit back to a beer to. Improvements in Friday night footy - what has been the difference except for more advertising?
A different issue:
The development of AFL is key in QLD and NSW and until a solution to the current issue can be stated by Channel 9 involving them (or ch10), I'm all for a change. Also silly to suggest 7/10's final offer will be at 'bargain bin' price - nine will ensure that they fork out every single cent for being duped.

Kids, kids, kids!
If you cant play nice, dont play at all! Carlton? StKilda? Actually it's more like listening to Richmond supporters!
There are salient points on all sides of this debate, but they are cancelled out by childish name-calling. What could be more cowardly than hurling abuse from behind the safety of a dynamic IP? It really IS like a bunch of Tiger fans spitting from behind the fence!
As I said, there are points on both sides. Collingwood DOES have to carry poor teams, We ARE disadvantaged by our popularity in having to play the best teams twice. We interstaters ARE screwed by 9 and their devotion to thugby (although that didnt explain them not playing the final of the Wizzo - there was no thugby that night). Channel 7 DID have their foot on the neck of the AFL. Nines Friday night footy WAS the best football broadcast of the week (when I was in Adelaide we got all the games at decent hours).
But in the end we are suppsed to be Collingwood supporters. Lets behave like it, not a bunch of Richmond idiots!
Shake hands & move on kids!

As far as I am concerned, you want to be the best, then start beating the best! |
Very true. That is one of the things which make winning the premierships these days so satisfying. Beating all 15 other sides for the holy grail. Why dump North, the Dogs and/or the Hawks? Stupid. Keep them. They are part of the history and the future of the game.

Yes, it is an annoying fact of the Magpie lifestyle, but I'd rather keep them afloat on the ship rather then sink them.
| Quote: | | We interstaters ARE screwed by 9 |
I'm sure I heard tht Wayne Jackson knew that was the case when the deal was singed off. 9, I'm fairly sure, have vowed not to do so again.
Eunos, who cares about that? I'd rather keep all the remaining historical sides then have a diffferent draw. We all saw what happened to Fitroy... |
