a question for those bagging nine for not showing league live in melbourne

[taxidriver]

why do you think they don't show it?

 

[Pete Cash]

Has there ever been a grand final that has broken as many minds as the 99 grand final. I know plenty of the old Tigers players go on about the 89 grand final, so the 99 grand final does have a bit of competition, but seriously people get over loved ones dying faster than these axe to grind Dragon supporters have dealt with the loss a f**king decade a go.

For the record I spent the entire decade watching the Storm thump my club game after game. I don't begrudge them a spot in the NRL because I am not an insular idiot who still weeps over a game that happened when I was in highschool.

EDIT

Maybe the independent commission will look at funding some therapy for Dragon supporters under the guise of advancing relations between supporters.

An interesting game to play is to look at a poster who wishes the Storm didn't exist and check to see if they have an avatar/post history/user name/signature dedicated to the dragons.

 

[taxidriver]

so the answer to my question is?

i couldn't find it in that drivel you posted.

 

[Paullyboy]

He has a point, when a Dragons fan asks about Melbourne there is no point taking it seriously - try to move on ay, its been a decade.

 

[petetheileet]

lol Cash...talk about a bit too much emotion when asked a question....

honestly what does that question had to do with Saints supporters bagging Melbourne

 

[taxidriver]

hmmmm, nobody has an answer

who would have thought

 

[matt]

I wouldn't either not if you are worried about the balance sheet.

Melbourne are very protective of their game. Channel 9 is a Melbourne based entity whether you like it or not they have a preference to AFL.

They claim it won't rate but who makes the decision? I am sure his office and mindset is closer to the Yarra than the Opera House.

It's funny cos it's true :lol::lol::lol:

Thread fail. If you want the answer go to the thread that's already dedicated to the subject instead of making a new one only for it to backfire and make you look like a total knob.

Commercial decision.

where does the other thread address the question?

caught out being a liar again.

 

[taxidriver]

spot on.

many on here would have you believe league would rate through the roof but nine has an anti league agenda in melbourne.

an agenda that would lead them to throw away millions in advertising revenue by showing lower rating programs

an we are the ones with the conspiracy theory :lol::lol:

oh tards

^^he's got it!^^

 

[The Engineers Room]

They don't do it because they believe that the ratings in Melbourne will not be good.

The AFL is out rated by SBS when it plays but they still do it. Just shows that the decision makers have their own agendas.

 

[Parra]

. Just shows that the decision makers have their own agendas.

Or legal obligations.

They have to answer to the board & the shareholders. No-one else.

Post 25 more than adequately answers it. I can't believe you didn't check that before you asked me the above question.

Caught out being stupid again.

 

[taxidriver]

post 25 is talking about one game.

I'm talking about the broader theme, it's fairly obvious.

you probably knew that though and were just lying again.

 

[$$Poor Boy Blues$$]

commerical decision

they might well have shown it, but when the for and against sides are weighed up its tipped against us.

the convenient excuse of the hospital fund raiser is the icing on the cake. that issue may indeed hold 80% of the weight here, but if the game was not up against so many people and surrounding issues, I think they would be showing it.
