$ really talks all languages doesn't it.....and compromises all sorts of morals principles
On the plus side they'll be less political pressure attacking the anti syphoning laws. Prevously the government had to go against the full Murdoch press.
Wouldn't surprise me if Amazon et al win the next right deal. The last one had a bit of rat ****ing to keep it with foxtel in the first place

When foreign companies have the rights it is a bit of an issue long term for mine.
Foxtel had everything and cut it back to the bone and based the business model in the end around AFL & NRL only basically. Tennis, Basketball, Rugby etc were all kicked to the curb and became second class citizens.
If you have a foreign company that has NFL and soccer rights, then as far as Dazn are concerned, AFL & NRL are effectively their rugby union and they will cut and run when it suits them. The next TV rights will be interesting.

This seems a weird thing to be proud of & hyping up - since 2021, the Saints have played 1 final, which was an EF loss to the Giants at the MCG in 2023
Go back to the 2010 GF, and since then they've played a total of 4 finals with only 1 finals win - they've been a rather mediocre team over the past decade
But sure, flex away about no longer being one of the oldest teams

Is it too much to ask to find a billionaire that isn't a massive POS?
Apparently yes

Seems the main thing that turned over there was the goal posts
There are systemic reasons why St Kilda are shit, it is more healthy of them to accept their lot and celebrate it as a virtue and far more preferable then have them whine about it all of the time.
With the cost of living crisis there are many more economically disadavantaged members of the community loitering around their neigbourhood requesting a megre assistance then in the past.
To the billionaire, everyone they face meets that criteria, with the cost of assistance decreasing with in their every moment, with their resources they have an reach greater than most. Ever breath they take is in denial of the wellbeing of their "fellow" man. The principle is not too disimilar to how we expect our sportsmen to not be too much fo an arseh*le.
