AFL makes shitloads of shekels if all the numpties are lined up on the couch night after night drooling over whatever mob happens to be running around on the T.V. Fans actually at the game n all the fripperies required to feed n entertain them come at very low profit for heaps of hard work so of *smile* all value to the AFL.
Gilligan n his mates would love it if there was no club membership n fan base to appease, just plebs watching whatever three, four or five games a week on T.V. it would create the perfect situation for them to just dole out 20 mill per club per year to all be totally equalised. No 20,000 member base for this struggling club while that power club with 100,000 members rakes in the extra money n bleats n complains about having to fund the lesser clubs through equalisation measures. No chance of any club ever disagreeing with decisions made by H.Q. when every club has to bend the knee for their equal share of the distribution.
Thurs night footy sucks for me, have to get home from work, get cleaned up n go to the game knowing I won't get home till lateish n still have to work the next day, don't get to relax n enjoy. At least with Fri night games I've got the Sat off so it's not to bad. Prefer Sat arvo or evening games n actually don't mind a Sunday arvo game. Get to veg n relax on the Sat, wander in for a leisurely Sun arvo game n still home early Sun evening in time for a quiet unwind after the game before back to work Mon.
