Because at the moment the AFL and VFL are doing that. I think it will some more games the year after and we may get one or two a year. My reasons are based on what is happening next season, the fact no games will probably be played on Fridays, the fact there will probably be no games at the G once it hits the colder and wetter months, the fact that I don't think Etihad will let games there when they 2 or 3 AFL games on a weekend and finally the actual lack of interest because they have to be played so early to give an hours break before the main game that no one will actually go and watch. So there you have it Kosi. They are my reasons that we may end up with one or two VFL games in 2016.
If you disagree could you kindly tell me how many VFL games we may end up with in 2016 and why? That's if you could bothered of course.

It wasn't so hard, was it?
Thanks for taking the time.

That's for that but the question remains, do you agree or disagree. Surely that's even easier than me explaining my position.
I would trial it a couple of times and see how it goes. We have been "blessed" with a number of twilight games so you could start a VFL game at 1:30. If it's really popular and the club gets some financial or other benefit, increase the number.
If there are no benefits or it causes too many problems with staffing, or other issues, then scrap it.

I am the same.
TDL was awful and CJ (especially in his latter years) was not much better.
My reasons aren't that at all. If it lenny I wouldn't care either. Sandy IMO aren't the saints. They aren't a real side. They are a combination who are run by Sandy. I follow the saints and the saints players at Sandy. Not guys that were even Saints players.
Yes and no.
Yes they aren't the Saints but their coach is on our payroll and we try and influence them as much as we can, as we should.
So given that, you should care to a degree if that makes sense.
Yep I care that Saints players aren't injured. I don't give a clacker whether they win or lose.
P66 we know your attachment to the club is strictly game-day, win-lose related.
If you don't give a clacker about what happens outside of that, I'm not sure why you're moved to post about it.
