18th club, whose next?

[The Great Dane]

You make it sound like a bad thing

That would depend entirely on how they went about it.

Whether it was a boon, a disaster, or somewhere in-between, would depend on the execution.

Maybe we can get your hero reebs to handle the execution given his past experience

a 20 team afl comp is going to put every rival sport to shame

heck our 17 team comp already dwarfs our closest rival on some measures

Eh? Could have sworn the stadiums are for numerous sports and not taking the gf to open market is costing the game millions every year!

Whatever happens, we need team 18 now! Three byes for Sharks and other clubs already this year, while some clubs have had only one and a terribly disrupted season during the Origin period has seen the NRL season lose so much momentum.

We knew it wouldn’t be long before people started hating on the byes and uneven clubs. Thankfully we know it’s only going to be 5 years max. Of course if pistol Pete hadnt screwed the tv deals we could have gone straight to nine games but hey ho, put clowns in charge expect a circus.

Eh? Vlandys had nothing to do with the commbank and allianz decisions. They were decided years before he took over.

able to, but continually refusing to do so, costing the game tens of millions of $’s.

Not this delusional bullshit about selling the grand final again.

There is no appropriately sized stadium dimwits. Brisbane has 30000 less seats.

The mcg is a f**king cavernous concrete oval hole. You saw what adelaide looke like at origin with fans 6000 kms away from the action. f**k Perth, its 4000km away from league heartland and again oval.

We are not the NFL with a huge population and suitable stadiums all over the country.

Do they move the FA cup to the highest bidder?

If it generated tens of millions, I say yes. Especially for a one off event.

I mean the Grand Final played at the SCG for 80 years.

 

[Bukowski]

Most people that watch the gf won't be at the ground so take it to the highest bidders. So long as the ground is gonna sell out, you want a good atmosphere .
