    Such a large difference though. Do you think Saint Pete and the invisible man handled this well and squeezed every cent out of the broadcasters they could?

    Then plan for it knowing it is key for the game securing a good deal. The reality is he just does what News Corp want and if people cant see this they are kidding themselves.

    Makes you wonder why Vlandys wouldnt enter a 17th and 18th team at the same time to increase the value of the deal but when your dealing with a broadcaster who are also dealing with your opposition ie AFL and the broadcaster says you can only have a 17th thus keeping the value down so they can...

    Our rivals hype it up because they have nothing else. They always go on about medals and best and fairest club awards because they have no real honours. We go on about rep football playing for your state and country. Real honours. We have the other stuff but dont make a big deal about it like...

    Its a frustrating situation. The reality sadly is what Paul Kennedy mentions in the podcast and that news corp wanted a team in melbourne. They dont want or feel they need teams in perth or adelaide but do ned a second Brisbane team and this is what we have. Hopefully in the future this changes.

    The hatchet job News Corp did on John Grant and Dave Smith was up there with their efforts with numerous politicians. Grant was driving the digital arm and looking at his credentials we were well placed Grant had completed an engineering degree at the University of Queensland before taking up...

    I always laugh how people have referred to league players as meat heads etc. Its been going on for years. The irony is back in the days when players had jobs all clubs had players who were teachers!!! The meat heads educated their children😃😃😃

    Good Point...he acts like the class clown. It's like people have advised him that RL supporters want someone who has a go at AFL so he throws a few barbs there way to keep us happy. But as you say his actions ie outdoing them in deals etc dont support his big mouth. Time to go and take the...

    If or when the AFL bring in a 19th team perth will be a chance of being the 20th. If this is the case will be very hard for league to bring a team from perth in.

    It was reported he had "caved" in thus creating the perception he had he was trying to keep them at bay because they were destabilising things with their selfish sort sighted demands. He was creating competition for news ltd with the digital arm to drive up the value for the game. Isnt...
