Apart from blatant corruption and profiteering is there any reason why they didn't just gradually upgrade Subi instead of spending 1b+ on building a totally new stadium?

Edit: LOL as if there is anything but corruption and profit driving government decisions.

Colin wanted to be able to point to something in 10 years time and say "I built that".

I didn't tip Fremantle, so I'm on 9/9 away teams. While beating Essendon by 60 points proved exactly nothing about the Suns, I think Fremantle got exposed a bit. Of course the stats don't agree with me 100% but gently caress it, someone has to be wrong. I tell that to the people in my supercoach draft league at work: someone has to be the spud lurking around the bottom of the ladder and it might as well be me!
Having Sandipants back in will give Freo a big lift imo.

As we established previously, Cotchin is quite easily the most overrated player in the AFL ever.

Just put an asterisk next to Jobe's name and be done with it. If they give it to Cotchin the Brownlow is dead to me.

Nah, pretty sure Cotchin and Mitchell were tied for second.

Im still salty because I had a cheeky $50 at good odds for Mitchell to win, and he was beaten by a drug cheat.

the names on jersey's was trialled for a round last year but was only a one off thing. this thread even got in a big dumb argument about whether names should be on there or not.

traditionally speaking in big australian sports names just arent on jerseys, which goes for afl, nrl, and rugby union (cricket one day and t20 kits are the only real exception to that), so when people talk about bringing it in it fans can get a bit parochial and it becomes about the americanisation of our game vs basic convenience. some clubs have been around for 150+ years with the same uniform, so people get fiercely protective of how it looks, despite stupid clash strips getting introduced and replaced every year plus sponsors logos etc. its a touchy subject at best.

I would also like to see Hoskin-Elliot and Kolodjashnij fit on the back of a jumper and still be legible.

Im all for names being on the backs. Makes things so much easier for fans.

If it was later in the season, sure. Hawthorn (and for that matter Geelong) and the early season fixture are pretty weird because of the Easter Monday thing (which is fine, but I kind of think we can let it go now) and the AFL not wanting to give teams 6-day breaks in succession.

At least Friday Night Carlton isn't a thing this year.

The only excuse is if the dons spearheaded this push and were the sole reason it happened
