Danny Frawley was diagnosed with CTE. Surely the current players will take notice now.

Fun fact, some of my Facebook friends were having a discussion a while back about how soccer banning headers for kids was the world gone mad or something, (and probably something about may as well play netball) and I pulled out a study that said that kids who header soccer balls are more likely to get brain damage, and one of my Facebook friends said something along the lines of 'What's wrong with that?'

Brain damage in children, what's the big deal?

Anyway, I didn't know how to relate to someone who thought that so that conversation didn't last heaps long after that.

As cool as it was to see Daniher up and about I won’t be sad if he goes. If all you’re doing is missing shots on goal you’re little more than a turnover merchant.

"As part of compensation for losing the 2020 decider, the MCG will receive a handful of extra games in the 2021 season, with the national draft also included in the deal with Victoria"

Cue Richmond and Collingwood never leaving Victoria in 2021.

I’d assume it’s a reduction of games at Marvel since the AFL owns it and wouldn’t have to negotiate with an extra party

So it'll be North vs GC in an almost empty MCG instead of North vs GC in an only slightly empty Marvel?

So from 2019 games held at docklands that might be reasonably attractive to the MCG
Essendon vs Bulldogs - 41k
Essendon v Port - 42k
Essendon v North - 45k
St Kilda v Richmond - 41k
Essendon v Hawthorn - 44k
Carlton v North - 42k
Richmond v Sydney - 40k
North v Essendon - 48k
Essendon v St Kilda - 42k

There were 45 regular season games at the MCG in 2019, of those 14 were under 40k and another 4 were in the 40s.

The AFL could absolutely make a reasonable offer to the MCG. It won't fully compensate the loss of a capacity grand final, but it will help immediate cashflow. It just depends on how much of it's own money the AFL is willing to give up by missing out on some near-capacity matches at Docklands (and presumably making up some of the difference to the home club).

Presumably would have upset the Victorian Government too which gives a fuckton of cash to the AFL and clubs (that's presumably more why they threw in the draft hosting though)
