Whilst we are on the subject the way the whole fitzroy lions, Brisbane bears, Brisbane lions history is interpreted is a joke too. _________________ 'Collingwood are the Bradmans of Football'

Anything before 1892 should just be referred to as B.C.

Let them hang on to this flimsy morsel of hope in an otherwise hopeless era for the scum. _________________ 'Collingwood are the Bradmans of Football'

Completely ridiculous response from Eddie. What's this nonsense about empires rewriting history? 1) There is absolutely no history being rewritten here; and 2) since when has the 'rewriting of history' caused an empire to topple? More to the point, when has an empire ever not rewritten history to suit its own purposes?
I have no doubt that there might be a few Carlton or Geelong fans in the AFL with ulterior motives pushing this. But that has nothing to do with the debate itself. Apart from tradition, is there any serious argument against this minor tweaking intended to recognise the AFL's foundational years? _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

That's bullshit!
COLL supporters only give a crap 'cause it's Carlton, if it was someone like the WB or NM no one here would bat an eye lid! _________________ WE WERE ROBBED, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MEEE!

Hi David,
I agree there is no real valid argument against it but I also don't see any real valid argument for it.
Other than the fact the nfl dates back to 1870 or earlier, I can't see any reason why the afl should change.
I disagree with Eddie and what he says about the change, I think it's simply to say we have a game that's older or just as old as the nfl.
I don't have an argument against it, but it don't think it's necessary. |

so 1996 was not the centenary of AFL?
welp, AFL...you have some money to give back to some people after all the merchandise they bought...oh wait.
You wont do that, because this is just some flimsy money grab for 2020.
then
2021: We where wrong, back to the previous start time of the AFL. |
