#AFLGF Pies v Eagles

Depends who writes the history. And RB, you should also direct your bitterness at Aylett. As I'm sure you do.

Aylett had a few mates. Never forget any of them.

Anyway, long time ago now, and I have 05 and 12 to keep me warm.

If you take it as a given that there was going to be a national australian rules competition, it could start in two ways:

1) Invite teams from all the major leagues, set up new teams in Sydney and Brisbane, and go from there. In this scenario, only the big 6 vic teams would have made it in. No fitzroy, no Norf, no swans.

2) Expand the VFL to incorporate non-vic teams. At best, this had to cull 2 vic teams from the VFL simply to keep the numbers managable. They ended up being swans and fitzroy. Why?, because they were the most mis-managed, poorest, least st supported (ie, easy targets).

So the only way fitzroy would survive was to be a "powerhouse" club, and the reason they werent goes back 10, 20 50 years before they got the chop.

We have far more dignity than that.
BUT... if you want to complain about umpiring decisions in a granny, 2016 is a good start. How come he didn't mention any of those?

Because he's from Melbourne and was happy to see the Swans lose......because like most supporters of Vic based teams......he's a selective hypocrite!
