    Logos are geting worse

    If we are talking about relevance to their area and the use of introduced vermin as a mascot/logo then for early 20th century inner Sydney surely the South Sydney Gutter Rats would hold more historical accuracy than vermin that was already prevalent in many parts of Sydney, NSW and Australia.

    Jersey / Playing kit sponsorship

    Certainly a company would prefer a full page spread or double page spread to promote their product or service rather than be amongst 4 or 5 other ads on the same page, but again it’s what they are paying for, a company would pay significantly more for a full page spread rather than a small ad...

    Jersey / Playing kit sponsorship

    Not really, it could also highlight the point that you are not observant, or you might just need glasses… The difference is the Bulldogs Hyundai sponsorship was a front of jersey major sponsorship and they paid accordingly for it, in the case of the Wests Tigers Hyundai pay accordingly for...

    AFL newspaper coverage in Sydney

    AFL gets much more coverage in the Sydney papers than League gets in Melbourne, however 95% of that coverage is about the Swans, come 2012 it will likely be 98% Swans and Giants. Even when there is a big top of the table match in Melbourne you are likely to get an almost 2 page spread (with a...

    Salary cap its own worst enemy in sorry Inglis saga

    Carp, when was the last time Richmond, St Kilda, Melbourne or Western Bulldogs won a comp, how about 30 years, 44 years, 46 years and 56 years, how many times has Richmond even made the finals in the last 30 years, to suggest the AFL has an even competition is ridiculous and completely...

    The curse of Souf Synney

    Garbage, in 1952 Wests were the only side to beat Souths at Redfern, Wests (14-1-3-29 pts) were minor premiers finishing 3 points clear of St George (13-0-5-26 pts) and 5 points clear of Souths (12-0-6-24 pts) and then they thumped you in the GF. So a player from the losing side who from...

    The Skull

    Skull is a racist of the highest order, he will verbally abuse those of other races that are just sitting on a bus or train minding their own business, small elderly Asians are his favourite target for abuse. Wouldn't piss on the p*ick if he was burning
