For Rosy's sake, fevola is a tiger.

Why is Fevola anything for my sake? ???

Re: Show some respect...

Victorian teams will go under, it is inevitable.  The aim is not to prevent it, it is to make sure it happens to someone else.

Clubs like the Bulldogs and the Kangas are addicted to AFL support, without it they fall over.  Inevitably the AFL will push them interstate.  The ultimatum will be a simple one: "Stay in Melb and we will cut off your allowance, go to wherever we want and we will double it."

That is why RFC haven't held their hands out and why Carlton are giving up an asset to the AFL instead of asking for cash- to stay in Melbourne when the inevitable happens.  Make no mistake, this is a handout, without strings attached.  We need one of these too.

When the Kangas and the Bulldogs go, we should welcome it.  It will mean more sponsorship dollars, more supporters and hopefully some success on the field for the remaining clubs in Melb.  It is hard enough to compete with the WA and SA teams with all their advantages as it is, without having to share local sponsors and local supporters with these dead ducks.

Spot on. You can't tell me the grand plan isn't to offload the three 1925 teams at some stage: Dogs to Darwin, Kangas to Canberra, Hawks to Hobart. It would set the league up nicely on a national basis and leave the big six in Melbourne, plus Geelong.

Carlton could be another 14 million in debt, but come round 5, Fevola and Whitnall will be dancing
and singing ring a ring a rosy, as they kick goal after goal on the worst two key backmen in the AFL, Fellaway and Subpar!!!!
They will flog our duds!!!

Carlton won't fold, the AFL couldn't afford it. More economical demises open to the AFL.

Beside it would cost us money as well. No matter where they are on the ladder the Richmond V Carlton games always attract big crowds and we get a dividend of that.

Let em suffer some more ;D

Looks like your son may have something on Lance then; given Lance is in a habit of singing and dancing for you.  :hihi
