You can't be serious, ANNODAM, the only reason the AFL and the fixture is a joke? There are so many others. The whole comp is operated like a local under 9s compared to overseas premiere competitions. |
Ahhh, you're correct!
I should've clarified --- it's ONE of the many reasons the AFL is a joke!

How's this for AFL stupidity?
I didn't realise it until watching AFL360 tonight. But we played a "home" game at Etihad Stadium instead of our home ground the MCG. At the same time Essendon is playing a "home" game against Melbourne (yes they were in their away jumpers) at the MCG when Etihad is Essendon's home ground. Both games were played at the WRONG ground.
What a friggin joke this competition is! The fixture is absurd. We are put to shame by real competitions like the EPL which manage real home and away competition and a lot more football every season for the fans.

They make it up as they go along. We must be the only professional sport in the world that changes its rules every week. Not to mention playing on different sized grounds. Not to mention that we play an unbalanced fixture. Not to mention that few teams have a real home ground. Not to mention that the AFL deliberately tries to engineer results to promote the game in far flung places. Not to mention that we don't even have interstate competitions, let alone real international competition. As I said, they make it all up as they go along. The EFL Junior competitions have more credibility.
Look the Socceroos won't go anywhere this World Cup but Ange is a great coach and the future of football in this country IS soccer. It's inevitable.

i raised that question to a few guys i know.
we played dogs at etihad, which is the dogs home ground, the bombers played the dees at mcg which is also the dees home ground.
now i get that we have to play 3 games at etihad, BUT why have us against the team that has the home ground and our home game. is there a contract we have with the dogs to play at etihad for rose cup. then to top it off there was a record low crowd for us at 28, 000+. i know pies have contract with afl to play 3 games but that is untill the etihad contract runs out (which i hope is sooner rather then later) |
