I believe the AFL have only given a club concessions due to them being a new club, in financial difficulty or, in Sydney’s case (which was a bloody farce) the cost of living being ‘SO much higher’.
The Slime do not fit in any of these categories. Their situation is totally self inflicted, driven by incompetence and massive egos.
They continue to be one of the wealthiest clubs in the AFL. They shouldn’t be given any concessions whatsoever until they are in the position that NM were in, down to about 18k membership, then maybe they could need a little help… or a shove into the ocean…
