NOTHING great about Brisbane.

There is NOTHING great about Brisbane at all. Their three premierships will
always be tainted. By rigging the competition in order to sell the game to
Queensland, the AFL has created a monster ... an ugly steroid-enhanced
monster that is killing the game.

The complete artificiality of Brisbane's dominance of football is easily
illustrated by this simple hypothetical scenario.

Imagine if the draft was suddenly abolished and, from here on, players had
to be recruited from their own geographical area. Collingwood could only
recruit from the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Brisbane could only
recruit from the state of Queensland (and maybe northern N.S.W, just to give
them a chance) How well do you think Brisbane would go?

I guarantee that as soon as their current list passed its use-by date & won
5 or 6 tainted flags, they would be wooden spooners ... PERMANENT wooden
spooners ... Because after 3 rigged premiership the entire state of
Queensland ... with northern N.S.W thrown in for good measure ... is STILL
not capable of producing an AFL team.

They are a disgrace. They do not belong in the AFL.

Collingwood, on the other hand, would be a very strong club if it had
exclusive access to just the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Even though
the population of this area would only be a tiny fraction of the population
of the state of Queensland (and northern NSW) we would still produce a team
that would kick the living brains out of Brisbane every year for as long as
football is played.

Even if we had no chance of recruiting players from anywhere else in
Australia, just the talent produced in this predominantly
Collingwood-supporting area of Melbourne would be enough to keep us at or
near the top of the ladder forever.

The reason is simple.

COLLINGWOOD IS FOOTBALL.

BRISBANE IS NOT.

Brisbane gets nothing but contempt from me. No respect whatsoever, because
they've done NOTHING to warrant it.

I will "acknowledge Brisbane's greatness" when Brisbane becomes great. Let
me know when this happens, because after 17 years in the AFL, the Brisbane
Football Club has achieved precisely jack shit.
