This quarter is an important one. I would like to see them hold on. It would be easy to get done by 100 from here but to hold them or win the quarter would be nice.
The fact of the matter is we are playing against a team with 1 million more to spend on players. The AFL is overjoyed because people in Sydney are watching TV. They don't go to the games but that doesn't matter. Look at Brisbane. hey are shit. Nobody goes to the ground. They are down the bottom where they belong. That's where Sydney would be if they didn't have the cola.
The entire competition is designed around TV ratings and Collingwood getting blockbusters. As long as they can get away with that mentality the money keeps rolling in. The poorer clubs have no alternative but to roll over and agree to every concession the Swans, GWS, Suns get because to buck the AFL is to perish.
Not sure that I'd be using COLA as an excuse for this.
We're shit.
We can do this shit against any team.
Give us an extra million a year for ten years and see what end of the ladder we are. take it off Sydney and see where they are.
Brisbane won their flags on the back of extra salary cap money. They had three or four brownlow winners in the team at the same time.
Sydney has an extra million and are being given an armchair ride to the finals every year.
GWS and the Suns have extra salay cap and extra draft picks and between them will dominate the competition for the next ten years. Along with Sydney.
Money = success.
Doesn't explain their draft choices from the first three rounds over the last ten years compared to ours.
