Why We're Now Paying the Price

So genuine question..how can the Doggies afford a VFL side next year and we can't?

Smorgan may have put his hand in his pocket. Obviously, someone has, big time.

Maybe their best 22 will play both games each week. Lol

The Swans structure which allows them to spend more on players you mean?

yes thats what he means. Sydney win a flag but can but Kurt Tippett. Geelong got heaps more 1st round dps because of the idiotic FS rort.

joffaboy, think of the follow on effect if McEvoy was a F/S and we got him for free and could have then picked Rioli/Dangerfield as the immediate need fo a ruckan was filled. This is what happened when Geelong where gifted the key forawrd they where desperate for.

True. Though we would have used our 3rd round pick then on big Ben. And probably would have missed out on Jack Steven as a result.
Steven > Dangerfield/Rioli.

Geelong Advetiser - another poorly written Murdoch rag full of inept low brow tabliod journo's (is it OK to say low brow, didn't upset any kiddies did I?)

Low brow is fine, but you did misspell tabloid - won't somebody PLEASE think of the children !!

wow. Was announced September last year, wasn't aware of it until now!

My guess is Smorgon bankrolling it.

Maybe we need a special fundraising venture to kick off our team ASAP. I assume with the lead times re breaking off with Sandy we are looking at 2015 at the earliest.

It's crazy that we have bayside council spending a million to widen as lengthen TBBO when Moorabbin Oval is perfect and ready to go now for our own VFL team!
