TOPIC:

You were correct it was a leading question; however, you didn't get the right leading question. Swans' profit in 2014 was comparable to Subiaco's profit. What is difficult to understand however is why Subiaco's profit given their advantage re their AFL tickets and packaging of same is only comparable to Swans and not so much more?

Perhaps you can explain this anomaly Chopper.

Fair point agent 42 but I can't help you there - anyone else care to give their 5c worth ???

Here are another 2 questions for you to ponder Chopper...
How could $ubi possibly afford both the Swans & the Perth Fairest & Bests from last year under this seasons salary cap as they made an offer to both over last summer???
And will the WAFC be going over $ubi's books as closely as they have at SD, P & WP???

I can only ponder BH but was that Davis & White ? And it was only a question to them I would imagine ?
It would be amazing if they were to leave & Subi would get 1 or both ? Also they may have been asked b4 Subi signed any other recruits ? Also Subi lost many high paying players I would have thought after their flag in 14 ?
I'm sure Subi offered shit loads of money to shit loads of players but only a handful would take the offer ? As a Subi supporter I would hope that to be the case.
In regard to the wafc I have stated my case in regard to them Subi and the aligned clubs many times on this forum so you either haven't been paying attention or are you saying you agree with me ???
You Swannies can through all the questions at me you want but all I get is your not really broke - it was a mistake ??? And your the best at everything ??? I know Subis downfalls but you guys seem to think your clubs perfect ???

Maybe because Mike also watches every Swans game with his own 2 eyes ..unlike our closet fan from Timaru!

watched plenty of sport in my time BH, as like you mate...... and you know as well as I, those fans who are one eyed and can only see everything in black & white are the true closet fans.......LOL......closetly and perfectly arrogant too......think chopper maybe on to something here........

Nah you can rest easy Freezin, what I was trying to communicate in my post was the differing reaction by Ozfooty posters to Swans and Subiaco supporters basically saying the same thing about the umpiring. I don't believe any umpire would deliberately go out to make it tough for a particular side although I will concede that there could possibly be subconscious factors in play particularly if an umpire has had previous negative experiences with a group of players and/or supporters. They're only human eh?

I did agree with BH's point that the umpires did a good job in the last 10 minutes of the game at Shark park on Sunday by letting the play flow and allowing the teams to battle it out. It would be great if this could happen all the time where they just pay the obvious free kicks and leave the 50/50's go.
