As you say stay classy AFL. SBS couldn't afford the TV Deal for the bogan code to pay unless the federal parliament releases funds. Wouldn't put it past the current crop trying to buy votes.

LeeMarvin Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 FMD, they are even talking about GWS on Business Weekend on Sky! CEO of the Business Council crapping on about how important the Giants have been for providing a sense of community for people in Western Sydney. Says a guy came up to her and said "He didn't know what it was like to live in Australia until getting involved with GWS". Now I don't live there, but c'mon really?

btron3000 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Oh that post about fan behaviour distracted me. I came here to post this: https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2019/9/29/viewers-tune-in-as-richmond-demolish-giants-in-2019-afl-grand-final-aflgrandfinal Swans spike the ratings, GWS bring them down lol. Nearly as many people in Brisbane watched the game than Sydney. Even Adelaide over half and they have less than a quarter the population (and no team playing of course).

Has to be said (and Pseudonym can corroborate) I brought my own chair for the Parra live site. No cold arse for me brother! Actually the other live site I know of, though I wasn't there, that went off like a frog in a blender was when Sydney won the bid for the 2000 Olympics, way back in September 1993.
