When we were growing up it wasn't called .........'football' it wasn't called .............. 'soccer' ............... it was called ..... "W_gball"
For a reason!
Carlton supporter base????
95,000 at the G to watch ............ ???
You do the math!
Besides - there is a limit to how much sport a Carlscum supporter can afford from his weekly welfare cheque/pizza driver takings!!!
And the drivel out of Eddie's mouth last night was insulting!!!!
The idea that we have to prop up Ess/Carl (read Collingwood) for AFL to succeed is *smile* disgraceful!!!
Unbelievable!
If Carlton lie bottom of the ladder for ten years - bad LUCK!! Suck it up!
Tigers, St Kilda (and many others) have done so for 20-30 years!!!
How dare these sycophantic commentators suggest that the success of the AFL lies in Carlton/Essendon (read Collingwood) being strong - or that they should actively rig the draw (Friday night games???) to favour high drawing crowds???
How about the other way around??
Build up the lower base clubs so that the competition is equal - and the money/crowds are distributed fairly???
FFS - can't believe what came out of Eddies mouth last night
