Same old same old! i've copped it ever since i can remember, that i support a team that doesn't have supporters, doesn't deserve to be in the competition etc etc.
It's the team i support and always will. if they fold or as TFAF says, send them back to the VFL, then as a WA based supporter, i will then lose interest in the AFL. Sure, who cares, i'm sure its the same with the Fitzroy supporters. People get over it.

It's funny, it would be different if how i ended up supporting North had gone the other way. From what i remember i was around 7/8 years old (early eighties), sitting down in my pajamas watching the winners, and a game between North Melbourne and Geelong was being shown. As both were blue and white (i support EF in the WAFL) i didn;t know who to barrack for. One was the classic blue and white (NTH MELB) the other the same hooped jumper as EF (at the time anyway). Decided i'd barrack for who won. North by 2 points and so it goes....

Probably the thing that annoys me the most, is it's ALWAYS supporters of other clubs that just don't give a shit about anyone else exept who they support!

TFAF wouldn't say it about Perth no matter WHAT the situation.

I would say it about Perth if they entered a higher tier competition that they could not afford to be in. I would defend them in the WAFL forever though. I only ask North and the like to play in their original competition.

A 14 team AFL playing the other 13 teams twice - once at each others home deck with strong passionate state leagues is better by far than the current 9 afl games a week with 4 of these being blow outs and having small crowds and money being taken from rich well supported clubs to support clubs that should be in their proud state leagues.

The unbalanced geographic distribution of clubs lies in the history of the league - this should be respected in my opinion.

The league is only 23 years old. AFL started in 1990.

The league was founded as the vfl in 1897.

Sure the dee's have fallen on hard times and at the moment are not going to play in a blockbuster. Historically they have - Melbourne and collingwood have a bit of a rivalry. Claremont might even be able to knock off them - but that Beasly Hutton is pure fantasy.

Joan, - Ron Barrasi thinks north melbourne should go to Gold Coast. Do you know who Ron is?

I am talking about the AFL joan not the vfl.

Another legend of the game has spoken today


Melbourne clubs 'going nowhere', says Sheedy

By Ben Guthrie1:45pm AEST Sunday, June 2, 2013


Heard of Kevin - Joan?

Sheedy was referring to players floating around in Melbourne with clubs going nowhere. Think about it Tfaf - believe it or not a lot of players actually want to stay in Melbourne rather than go north. Sheedy had stated that whilst he would like to stay at the giants he would be open to offers from Melbourne clubs. Sheedy was an unsuccessful applicant for the Dee's coaching position that was given to Dean Bailey. Maybe he could turn things around at the dee's.

also sheedy is not a legend of the game. to be a legend you have to be dead.he is certainly a living legend though.

If that is the case why does the afl website and newspapers around the country say otherwise anchorman?
