You can never be too rich
All AFL clubs are equal. Some are just more equal than others. Sydney seems the equal of none. They are mocking the AFL’s equalisation policy which is designed to ensure every club has a chance to rebuild for a grand final inside five years.
The policy isn’t working.
Three-time loser
Ross Lyon had become a three-time loser. He was crushed after the grand final, stoically brushing aside his own disappointment and aiming his sorrow at the players and the club.
The grand final might’ve been different because Fremantle weren’t inept. They weren’t humiliated. They might’ve won had they played a little calmer and smarter.
