LOL
The money the AFL would lose if GWS were in a grand final the week after they defeated a vic team who have not tasted success in nearly 4 decades would be MASSIVE!
I can tell you this after having experienced 2004 in melbourne, NO ONE WOULD HAVE GIVEN A RATS ARSE if it was a GWS vs CROWS gf.
As it stands, the AFL and Richmond stand to make MILLIONS alone this week and so does the local economy. Everyones up and about and in a good mood because we have another fairytale. When people are happy they spend money.
The amount of tigers merch being consumed this week will be astromnomical. And lets not even start on how much food and beveridge will be consumed during the week.
Yesterday alone the gate takings would have BEEN MASSIVE!
The AFL is a fucken corporate business, it has a CEO on millions who has KPis to meet in order to activate his bonuses.
Do you even know how the business world works bra?
Fuck me some of you honestly think the AFL is pure as, but then again I do know a lot of AFL fans like WWE.
