    Welcome to the comp, Redcliffe.

    Yes and no, I'm a Southport Sharks member for the all you can eat seafood, but most people here on the GC associate the Sharks with success. You routinely hear about the other AFC's complaining that all their kids leave to go play for Southport. You're not wrong that new teams tend to...

    Welcome to the comp, Redcliffe.

    Funniest thing about the Suns is that the AFL had a ready-made name in the Southport Sharks who were happy to become Gold Coast Sharks and they snubbed it because their Melbourne based focus group thought Suns was more appropriate. Ended up alienating a 50,000 strong membership base in a single...

    Welcome to the comp, Redcliffe.

    100%, I always found it weird that NQ are the Cowboys. It's Australia we call them Stockmen, Ringers, Jackaroos. But it's NQ, so I don't know why they didn't just go with Bulls.

    2023 Comp Structure

    Well let's put it simply, a 5th Queensland team is ridiculous and shouldn't ever be considered. But more to the point, conferences are completely unnecessary in Australian sport. They're an almost exclusively American invention, an 18 team competition has no need for conferences. Exactly the...

    2023 Comp Structure

    You can't seriously be advocating for a conference where one can travel by bus to the majority of their games and the other is expected to fly thousands of kilometres a year and think it's fair.

    Redcliffe put their hand up

    Yeah it's a nice theory, but we all know he's a plant. There's a reason he gets non-stop positive coverage from them and has private meetings with the Murdoch's.

    Redcliffe put their hand up

    To be fair V'landys' decision making is par for the course as far as News Corp are concerned. These are the same guys that mandate all their presenters are vaccinated while having them go on TV and calling it a myth. They're dumbasses.

    How are Storm the most popular club?

    Switch West Coast with Collingwood. More members, and also the financially strongest club in the AFL but a massive margin.

    Redcliffe put their hand up

    Don't know why people keep bringing up the Golden State Warriors, they were the San Francisco Warriors and just changed. They also almost exclusively market themselves as The Warriors. Sunshine State is dumb, they're not a rep side. East Coat Dolphins is passable. North Brisbane Dolphins...

    Welcome to the comp, Redcliffe.

    Aside from the fact that more people call it Brissie or Brisvegas, I lived in Perth for 27 years before moving to the Gold Coast and plenty of people call it the River City or Swan River City. A ton of people call Melbourne the Yarra River City too. If you polled the majority of Australians...

    Welcome to the comp, Redcliffe.

    With those options, Brisbane Dolphins is the best choice. River City is so dumb, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane are all considered the River City. Would prefer North Brisbane Dolphins or something that differentiates them from the Broncos but gives them a wide reach from Sunny Coast down to...

    2021 GF | PREMIERS - Penrith 14-12 South Sydney @ Suncorp

    Can we get a Cody Walker medal from next year on? For the player with the shittest haircut and being a bitch when you throw an intercept.

    2021 GF | PREMIERS - Penrith 14-12 South Sydney @ Suncorp

    Has Cody Walker always been this much of a crybaby or is it new?

    The Game 2021 Crowd Watch

    There's big differences there though. Even in Perth the AFL only released half the tickets to fans. 34000 total, 12,000 for members of either the AFL or the two clubs playing and 10,000 for general public. The NRL grand final does have a huge positive, in that the majority of tickets go to...

    "It’s very realistic to say that we’ll have a second team in Brisbane in 2023": V'landys

    The NHL is split into 4 conferences. The Major League Baseball conferences are a hangover from when the American League and the National League were two separate competitions, they unified under Major League and until 1997 teams from the separate Leagues could only play each other in the World...

    "It’s very realistic to say that we’ll have a second team in Brisbane in 2023": V'landys

    Conferences are stupid. There's a grand total of one place where they make sense. The North American sports have 30+ teams and unless they want their season to run all year round they can't have a competition without them. A conference system will never be necessary in Australian sport. Even the...

    2021 PF 1 Sat - Melbourne 6-10 Penrith @ Suncorp

    Well at least we finally have a game where East's and Melbourne aren't in it.

    2021 PF 1 Fri - South Sydney 36-16 Manly @ Suncorp

    Cody Walker is the 2021 Jamie Soward always looks like he's about to burst into tears. You knew what you were doing when you asked the barber to give you the part time player, full time sex offender haircut.
