Oneyye, you don't deserve an opinion.

It's not up to us to make Melbourne work though. It's up to Melbournians. If they don't support it then too bad. Move em. There is no way I would want to go the road that the AFL has gone down either. Brisbane are winning the competition every year thanks to the leg up the get from the AFL. It's clearly unfair but it is making AFL popular in SE QLD. When can the good of one team outweigh the good of the other 15 teams though? No wonder Eddie McGuire whinges about them so much.

Would you be prepared to make the same sacrifices for Melbourne? Let them pay their players more in a attempt to make them popular down there? IMO, no.

Maybe we should have two new QLD teams.

One on the Gold Coast, and one replacing the cynical "franchise" with the american nickname. 8)

Why not move the cheque book champions with no juniors to the gold coast then we could have the Gold Coast Roosters and the Central Coast Bears. Central Coast is happy, Gold Coast is happy, Roosters have some fans and only the dozen or so Rooster fans would be angry.
