Every free-thinker can see the Rothschild’s and Illuminati (big GWS fans) are pushing their night Grand Final agenda (It’s well documented GWS play better at night) by tanking the day football spectacle and pushing all the blockbusters and top teams to night games, softening up the football public to be more accepting of a move to the night GF in 2020 (done deal), and ushering in a GWS (AFL/Rothschild/Illuminati love child) era which opens the door to moving foundation Victorian clubs interstate, the AFL’s obvious endgame.
Look into it.

Poor Dan is sitting on his hands as he hasn't been able to get hold of Ralph Edwards & Peter Marshall to tell him what action to take during this crisis. I hear he keeps checking his texts and refreshing his email every 2 minutes eagerly awaiting instruction.The_Dud wrote: ↑Tue 26 May 2020 10:33amSo true.

Absolutely the subtle point I make, integrity and fairness is being eroded even much further than it ever has in the pursuit of profit and COVID-19 will continue to be used as an excuse for crappy decision making long after the health crisis is over.BarryGrogan wrote: ↑Tue 26 May 2020 9:04amThe AFL would be driving a 'maximised' fixture harder than anyone.Secret Kiel wrote: ↑Mon 25 May 2020 8:40pmMurdoch would have pulled rank and demanded the fixture be geared exclusively to help Fox from going broke.

The next TV rights deal will potentially determine the fate of the game.
We may never, ever be allowed to attend packed stadiums again. Footy may become a 'TV sport' like rugby league.
So the AFL need to prove to the potential buyers that people still watch it on TV when there are no crowds.
The AFL have clearly stacked it accordingly.

Another fact COVID-19 will be blamed for, a corrupt, compromised and shameless (shambolic) AFL. We'd crossed that bridge decades before bat soup was served at empty stadiums.
Fox is stuggling big time and was before COVID-19.
I don't think it's on the radar yet for the fans from the vulnerable clubs because they've been led to believe Gil told them he "intends" bringing 18 clubs out of the crisis. It's interesting to note the AFL invited Big Ed and Jeff Kennett and Andrew Basset onto the committee of the so-called COVID-19 war cabinet, now there is a cynical view in AFL circles that this was done to get known provocateurs on the inside to keep them on-side. But who is the odd one out in that trio and is it not surprising he's been voiceless.BarryGrogan wrote: ↑Tue 26 May 2020 9:50pm Yeah, nah...we're screwed...

A new paradigm now. We signed an agreement in March that was a game changer.BarryGrogan wrote: ↑Tue 26 May 2020 11:43pmI don't know why you keep saying that.Secret Kiel wrote: ↑Tue 26 May 2020 10:45pm ... and we will be at the mercy of banks and the new administration type management we are now operating under.
We've been at the mercy of creditors (ie. Banks) and the AFL for the past 100 years pretty much.
The old paradigm started towards the end of the last recession we had and was ratified in 1990 with a new comp which was largely funded by favourable poker machine laws being introduced. Ironically the man that gave us life via poker machines is now telling us we have 3 years to prove we are sustainable. In the age of pokies and gambling money and record media rights deals we have enjoyed hedonistic times and drank from the teet of the cash cow. The teet runneth very dry now and it was running dry before COVID-19. The new agreement we signed in March signals a much different era. It's an era where we've been told there is no cash cow and that we need to sustain ourselves. Something we've never been able to do in the whole of the 100+ history of our club you refer to. So where does the revenue come from in this new paradigm.BarryGrogan wrote: ↑Tue 26 May 2020 11:43pmI don't know why you keep saying that.Secret Kiel wrote: ↑Tue 26 May 2020 10:45pm ... and we will be at the mercy of banks and the new administration type management we are now operating under.

My view is, that we wouldn't even exist if not for the AFL's trickle down economic model.Secret Kiel wrote: ↑Wed 27 May 2020 8:39am

Like it or not Luke Dunstan is a certain starter, one of the Saints best against the Roos in Rd 1, scoring the highest points (100) in AFL Fantasy, 92 in Supercoach: he is one of a number of midfielders who are going to become guns under Ratten's coaching this year.mad saint guy wrote: ↑Wed 27 May 2020 1:39am Team I'm predicting we'll see
