What a shambles PVL has made of the expansion team. Set them up to fail by rushing it and giving them no concessions, priority access to players or financial assistance to start up.
Dolphins still have the backing of Redcliffe. Titans are just a plastic franchise. Storm succeeded by taking no names out of Queensland and putting them in a city where no one looks twice at them, meaning they can focus more on the sport and not the fame.

Another eventful year for Pistol Pete, lets recap some of the 2022 highlights:

First off it wouldnt be RL without a civil war. And Vlandys took it to another level when he tried to stop the NSWRL $20mill grant payment as he didnt like the way they conducted their election business. Citing no grounds for NRL interference NSWRL and the NRL found themselves wasting the games valuable funds in court where the judge sided with NSWRL leaving Pistol Pete plenty of egg on his face. Not content with this loss, he then decided he would waste even more money by appealing. sigh

Then things got really serious as the NSW Govt backed out of an agreement it had over suburban stadium funding. Pistol Pete did what he does best and dragged it through the papers with some very harsh words aimed at one of the games key stakeholders. Talk of superbowls and selling GF's followed alongside some pretty pointed comments about the states premier. The NSW govt retaliated swaying public favour to their side with talk of floods, fire and pestilence. News that the deal had been on a handshake was mocked as Pete's business acumen was called in to question. A handshake deal with a politician, really Pete? As predicted the GF stayed in Sydney, the stadiums didnt get funded and the relationship with NSW govt is now at an all time low. Not one of his better days

A little minor mishap next as Pistol Pete decided to turn a hundred years of how players get penalized into something of a farce as he decided that what fans really wanted was to see players not be banned for the finals series. Strangely though this only applied to one player. Fans can be very selective it seems! Along side that it turned out that the penalty for high shots had been reduced. Yes last year high tackles were going to kill the game according to Pete, this year? well go for it lads and cop a bit of a fine.

It'd been a tough year for our ill fitting suited leader but then the sht really hit the fan when the AFL announced its mega Tv deal. After signing a $400mill deal in the midst of a covid crisis, allegedly against the advice of his CEO and CFO, the folly of this decision was laid bare for all to see when AFL announced a deal worth a staggering $643million a year as three suitors fought over themselves for the AFL's hand inmarriage. The massive gap was plain to see but pistol pete did his best to dodge and weave with talk of contra, tricks up sleeve, renegotiations and true values. But no one was buying any of it and soon anger turned to mirth as Pete talked of coughs, colds and doing the right thing by Tv companies. The final straw was once again Pete thinking he had a verbal agreement with Fox for more money if AFL got more, god bless you pete.

So there you have it, a tough old 2022 for our illustrious leader, dont worry Pete there's always 2023.

the breakfast point giants are the worst expansion team in Australian history
I remember when the AFL first announced the western Sydney team I never thought they'd do something so stupid

It's a massive shame that the Bulldogs didn't redevelop the Showground Stadium into a rectangular venue and make it their home in the early 2000s.

Let's recap some of Perth Red's highlights of 2022.
1. Constantly brought up AFL in every thread across every forum. Constantly diverted discussion about league back to AFL.
2. Whinged incessantly about everything except AFL.
3. Constantly brought down everything to do with Redcliffe's entry into the NRL in a fit of small man syndrome/jealous rage.
4. Constantly disparaged Sydney and Sydney clubs despite having no idea about the place and despite the fact he has no f**king idea about the place.
5. Used the term 'pokie den' at least 10 million times. Of course when 'his team' Melbourne were sponsored by Crown Casino this was ignored.
6. Jumped on the Melbourne bandwagon and then off it once they stopped winning premierships. 'We' no more.
7. Constantly compares his beloved AFL to league ignoring the fact that it has blatant flaws both as a sport and as a culture
8. Constantly belittles Sydney clubs as having nothing to offer compared to Perth despite the fact that Perth has no juniors and no real benefits to the NRL other than a dot on the map.
9. Has no clue on anything yet has an opinion on everything which is always wrong and afl related.
10. Lol.

you must spend a lot of time on there. Closet afl fan? Cant say I've ever visited the place. Now back to pistol pete shall we? as much as your interest in me is flattering it does tend to derail threads.

I was banned from there for speaking the truth, and as a fumbleball fan you hate the truth. Funny you never condemned essenbong for its actions and never once have you ever condemned violent action by fumbleball players against women and the constant cover ups and pay off to victims when Andy 5 chins run the show

If it’s correct it is another failure. Instead of a new stadium you get maybe 3 half arsed upgrades that will be good for maybe 5 years before they need upgrading again. The way things go they would knock down and rebuild Allianz before anybody else gets a new stadium!

If its correct its a win for Pistol Petes myopia.
However its an abject failure for the game for the next 30 years.

This is your big opportunity to condemn violence against women by fumbleball and ex fumbleball players, and condemn the cover up's and pay off's to people who have been victims of fumbleball and ex fumbleball players
Condemn the 3 strike cover up rule that Vicky Kicky house brought in to covers up fumbleballas drug problems.
Condemn the Essenbong club and it's 34 players.

Vlandys thread, stop derailing.

grow up, I have and always will condemn all violence towards women, racism, and general criminal behaviour regardless of who perpetrates it and what job they have.
Scoring points on a sport you dont like using this is a pretty sht move by a pretty sht person.
Take it to fight club with the idiots there where it belongs.

Just condemn the actions i have mentioned to show you are not a fan of the Anglo-Irish game. It's that easy.
Of course by not condemning their actions your friends on big footy will like you even more.
