**** I hate playing Sydney, it's not a team it's just a series of concessions and a will from the VFL to win a new market
Actually playing okay need to sort out polish in the forward 50, it kills us
Pretty despondent on Freo at the moment. With the AFL obsessed with helping the northern expansion clubs I just don't know how we will ever improve.
Stuff like playing a team like brisbane on a standing start is just the tip of the iceberg.
Living in Sydney, I just don't really see GWS being a success. It's noticeable how little coverage or support they get in Sydney and they haven't managed to resonate in a meaningful way yet with Western Sydney. What should worry the AFL is it's been a pretty successful club for a while now...
I don't think we should be getting concessions and I also think that other teams shouldn't be getting concessions that then disadvantage us, in a zero sum game like the draft. I don't think anyone has said Freo should get concessions so weird that you would base your argument around that.
"You got screwed when you entered the comp and now that's passed, you shouldn't complain as you get screwed by handouts to other teams"
Wow what a persuasive argument for a Freo can.....
Pretty easy to understand it's a hypothetical. The reality is most fans given a choice would not grow the game if it meant that it would decrease their teams chance of success.
I think two separate things need to be recognised. The academies are doing great work in NSW and QLD and the draft has been compromised by the way the AFLs rules currently work. It's pretty easy to go, we need to keep academies but need to look at how they are affecting the current draft and...
They should be embarrassed, truly shameful. What's the point of the draft.
I wonder if this will get much media coverage. I hadn't paid attention this year due to us having no picks, so I'm truly shocked at how comprised this draft is.
People will laugh at this but you are right. I think a more stringent cap without third party deals would do more for equalization than the current system. The problem is the draft is too successful as an interest and clicks generation model for the AFL to ever change it.
I also think if clubs...
We all need to take a breath. The hospital still stands, both sides wipped up a storm in propaganda, unfortunately it has real world consequences.
I believe that you really care about the Palestinian plight and how they have been badly treated by Israelis. It's a complex issue and...
Based on your earlier posts I doubt there is any point engaging in this debate in earnest but I will anyway.
No I don't think that is the case, as there is a lot of evidence now after these things happen. It is also pretty clear when Israel has dropped bombs or targeted Palestinians. They are...
Yeah no way, Hamas would never do something like this....sarcasm to be clear. Interesting to see people's knee jerk reaction. It unfortunately encapsulates a lot of what is terrible about this conflict that both sides want to use dead babies as propaganda
Israel has to fight a war at a...
Fair sorry, easy to misread the wider context of the response.
Agree history is complex and rather than choosing random dates, work on solutions for the people who are there now.
I can't tell you how much I hate this so and so deserves this land because of this random point in history stuff.
We need to start accepting that history is complex and no one is the chosen people. Doesn't change the wrongs of a horrific terrorist attack and a nation responding but arguments...
It was confirmed by Biden in the last twenty minutes or so. Just horrible.
I hope innocent civilians in Palestine can get to safety now as well.
It's looking like a horrible time ahead for everyone in that region.
