+x+x+xI will definitely go to a few away games on the new high speed rail. Use it tok skip past the stadium and go to the many wonderful bars and restaurants open after 9pm. I would be more inclined to try and catch some of Melbourne's famed alcohol-fueled violence(so maybe catch an AFL match) and then see if I can see some gang violence after. You know, when in Rome and all that. Rude. Seeing the AFL violence just reaffirms the need for self defence to be mandatory because it has gotten embarrassing..

Great video. The APFCA is essentially a cartel. It wants full control of the HAL to protect their own interests.

+xGreat video. The APFCA is essentially a cartel. It wants full control of the HAL to protect their own interests. You're not wrong; the problem is that this is what the league was founded on - so, the owners (rightfully) should have all the power because they are the ones who lose money every year to keep the league afloat. Fox Sports only give TV money based on 1) the amount of clubs and 2) always having clubs in major regions. (Melbourne, Bris, Syd) To implement pro/rel, these dependencies would need to change. I don't see an easy pathway to do so.

+x+xI love how reports that we are moving to a second division and pro/rel leads those who want a second division and pro/rel to lose their shit.....Australian football, gotta love it. Maybe in 15 years, oh great lets celebrate, or is it in 25 years, 35, 45? I hope the league folds. I love this narrative. Then what happens? Pro/rel next year? Can we stop posting about "pro AFL media" all the time please? Anyone who advocates for the folding of the only professional football competition Australia had is the real enemy of the game.

The closed system, franchise only, license fee paying, geographically approved teams are the enemy of the game. What's the point of having something shiny at the top if below that it's burnt to ash and cinders?

All aspects which can change without folding the league and losing fans like myself who will never support a local team again.

So that would assume that you would follow SFC up and down the divisions as they rise and fall?
