Propped up by the AFL - Let's play a six team competition - And then some will still whinge !
There is a slight difference. Kennet is right when he says that the AFL has purposely let the clubs go into debt and be so dependant on the AFL so whenever there is an issue, they are almost obliged to side with the AFL.
However North and Port would have been extinct long before Andy D and his mindless drones let it get to that.
Most of the other clubs who are being propped up by the AFL probably could get themselves out of it if push comes to shove.
Anyway, I just derailed the topic.
As I said, out of the 4, I hope Sydney win just to see everyone else ■■■■■ and moan about their COLA and all that rubbish. And then to rub salt into the wound, I hope we trade Paddy to them (if he actually does want to leave)
Who gives a rats ■■■. Fk the AFL and whatever crap is still going. I hope they cancel the gf out of pure outrage when our case gets thrown out and heppell then wins the Brownlow.

I worry about Sydney's style of play - They are the one team that bombs it into the forward line - I am unsure whether this will work in a GF,against a well drilled opponent.
4 people voted for hawthorn. What is happening?!!?!
Hate the carnts but atleast they are doing it out of their own pockets and are not propped up by AFL money. Cant understand all the love for Port, far from squeaky clean
Sometimes it's a mark of respect, that the opposition fans don't want you to play well, and every time you get the football
Adam Goodes on being booed
ADAM Goodes insists he is unperturbed by the incessant booing he cops from opposition crowds during games, choosing to view it as a mark of respect.
Goodes, who will play his 350th match in Friday night's preliminary final against North Melbourne, has often been the target of opposition fans over his long career with the Sydney Swans.
But it appears to have reached new heights in 2014 for the two-time Brownlow medallist.
That has led to speculation it could be racially based, or at least stem from his stance last year when he pointed out a young female Collingwood fan who had called him an 'ape'.
That stance, along with his ongoing campaign against racism, was part of what led to Goodes being named the 2014 Australian of the Year.
Many of the game's greats have also been the subject of constant booing during games, something Wayne Carey, James Hird and Nick Riewoldt have dealt with in their careers.
Goodes is choosing to believe that is the motivation behind the crowd reaction.
"It hasn't been difficult," he told reporters on Wednesday when asked about the booing. "It's not something that I'm not used to.
"There's been many a time being booed at football grounds.
"Sometimes it's a mark of respect, that the opposition fans don't want you to play well, and every time you get the football.
"It doesn't bother me to be honest.
"It's one of those things where if I pay too much attention to what the crowd's doing, then I'm not really playing my role on the field.
"We're just worried about getting out there and winning games, wherever they are, and since I've been back this year we've only lost two games.
"It's been a pretty good streak for us as a football club, but me individually as well."
