Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

It wont happen if thats the case. The AFL did not want this team, which is why successive Tasmanian governments have been throwing everything they can at it.

100%

 

[Pneuma]

and like the VFL didnt own Origin, league didnt own magic round. Everything starts somewhere.

Yeah this they’re copying us stuff is BS. It’s actually a compliment and usually a logical step.

Yes he is afraid and that is why he is lying about participation in QLD.

hes made a prediction that may or may not happen - wont happen there. However, its his job to promote the sport, especially at a press conference launching the season to AFL media types. Im wondering what his criteria for that is though, cause it aint likely at all.

And yes he is afraid as the afl only has one market to play in,

its a big enough market though, and the league is doing remarkably well despite its supposed limitations.

no expansion of any consequence to develop, no player pool to buy into and is surrounded by international codes who are not constrained by any of the above.

WA3 will happen in the future. Tasmania will probably happen, but not much beyond that. That league has more potential in that area is undeniable.

this doesn’t sound like smart scheduling

sometimes the AFL is incredibly stupid with their fixturing

Probably a good serve of arrogance in there as well

Well at least with the ratings we’ll see how many people in Brisbane actually like the Lions and aren’t just bandwagoners

Gather round

One Day In The AFL Boardroom:

“Hey guys, just for a few minutes, let’s stop snorting coke and forcing Indigenous women to get abortions. We’ve got a problem. The NRL’s magic round is really successful and we need to copy it.”

”Won’t everybody know we copied it if we call it magic round?”

”Okay, we’ll let’s GATHER ROUND and see if we can come up with something— hey wait a minute! That gives me an idea: let’s outsource the naming of the round to a private consultant friend of mine!”

$250,000 and a dozen lines of coke later: “It’s Gather Round.”
