Hmmm, could be interesting. A version of monopoly where after playing for 5 hours the top 6 players roll the dice once to determine the champion.

Reap in what you sow.

BWIW I think the idea is good, anything to generate interest. You just need to turn on your sarcasm detector.

Harmless but ridiculous. Why do we have to follow NRL and AFL stuff. It's just dumb, FFA strikes again.
No salary cap...therefore better players, more free to air, cheaper game tickets, that's how you increase interest.
Simple formula I think.

Nice post, Kamaryn.

And I would like to mention the golden generation version - Qantas Socceroos Charity edition Monopoly that is sitting on the shelf downstairs here. 
But of course, we are just following NRL/AFL.

What you need to understand is that when European clubs do it it's traditional and authentic, but when we do it in Australia it's a plastic franchise because reasons.

“yep, things are so much better with Lowy out of the way now”

Yup, because a month ago the new Board insisted a private company creat a monopoly version in time for Christmas 2018 - and by some miracle did 😂

Or more likely, this was commissioned by the old administration almost a year ago ... which is typically how long it takes to bring shit like this to the market.

But hey ... does it come with a VAR card and will they be bringing out a nostalgia “NSL version” in time for next Christmas??

Its not just that. The FFA are using a capitalist game to promote a communist code

So what are the rules? If somebody passes Go all players collect $200?
Spend as much as you want on one property but you have a limit of $1000 to spend on the rest?
Concessions for new players?
VAR to overturn who actually got second prize in the beauty contest?

LOL people just love to complain about absolutely nothing.   FFA were most likely approached and were presented with a deal where they get a cut of the sales.  Costs nothing and will probably earn nothing, but any publicity is worthwhile, especially if it's free.

If MV had done this deal there would have been people raving over the "take a chance with Archie" and "you have signed a new Coach after a world wide search - pay the bank $200k and go back to start"!

This place always delivers.
