The AFL will not accept us making the 8

Post: # 1251299Post ralphsmith »

if it comes down to us winning to kick essendon out of the finals....what is the AFL going to do?


Does anyone honestly think the afl would prefer us in the finals over powerhouse essendon?

If we pull off a miracle and beat geelong Demetriou and the afl umpires will try everything to keep us out. Predicting the most disgraceful umpiring corruption either this week against the cats or in the following games.

Dean Margetts is warming up.

Faaaaark... I just realised that it was Andy Demetriou who made Lenny's kick go sideways instead of into Milney's hands in the 2010 GF...

Nope. They activated the magnetic field that works with leather between the point and goal posts.

The AFL would prefer Essendon over North Freo or St Kilda in the finals as they would draw bigger crowds and more gate revenue SainterK. The AFL keep all gate revenue from
Finals.

Not sure if you were aware of this?

It makes complete sense. It is split up over the 18 sides. The AFL dont keep it at all. Being going on for years. Suited us in the 80's and may suit us again in the next few years.

OP you need to take the green one first, that will calm the conspiracy theories

The AFL dont keep it. They get all the revenue and then split it up with the 18 sides.

I admire the earnestness of your delusional paranoia.

Do you remember that in the week leading up to the 2010 GF, Demetriou actually publicly stated that he hoped St.Kilda beat Collingwood in the GF, because it would be good for our long suffering club?

I reckon Watters has built a good repoir with not only the AFL but with the umpires and the media too. No one is out to get us this time around...

Dr Peter Larkin is a robot sent back from the future to muddle the minds of forumites.

Did you not know this?

Julian Assange is all over it.

Why else do you think he's in Ecuador? That's where the robot's get serviced.

And you thought Demetriou was in London, huh?

Think again...

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
