Peter Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 It might be long and there is still a long way to go, but gee I've enjoyed the transfer speculation and the emotion that's gone with it over the past few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I thought it was funny during the Sydney v Chelsea game that one of the commentators said the Chelsea players had four weeks before they resumed training. Can our players really justify being "full time" professionals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 You could model something on the German league cup that basically is just a pre-league tournament... You got a stadium somewhere, a bunch of teams invited that play games. Fans buy whole day tickets enable them to watch three games a day or so while they drift between the bars and the food joints in the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can our players really justify being "full time" professionals? It's all relative isn't it. AFL players complain that they only have a mere 30 weeks (regular season) without matches a year and are continually lobbing via the media to get their season reduced, as they are so hard done by.

Possibly another reason I don't follow AFL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair their yearly wage is probably what a Chelsea player makes in a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting that pre-season starts about 6 weeks or something after the Grand Final which is longer, more intense and boring than the training that goes on during the season. I think most of the talk is surrounding shortening the off-season training to keep older stars in the game rather than shortening the actual season itself.
