    GWS don't have to offer #1 though. Franklin's a FA so GWS can get him for free and use #1 on another gun.

    Yeah those were good too, but lawn mowers is just classic.

    Hawthorn won't be able to match the $ amount of GWS. If they try to, Franklin will just go to the GWS in the pre-season draft.

    Yeh I don't mean results wise.

    They're clearly fudging crowd figures and even then they're not very impressive numbers, more than half their membership base is made up of people who live outside of GWS (mainly Canberra & Melbourne) and their finances are woeful if you take out the millions the AFL are putting in every year just so they can break even.

    I'd actually say they've been far more successful breaking into the Canberra market than they have GWS. Should just relocate there...

    The AFL has an excellent track record of expansion.

    Can't see how it's obvious that they're fudging crowd figures when they're so poor? :/
