The AFL has about no credibility left, and they give the intelligence of fans very little respect.
Massive back track, and very disappointing considering what we saw during finals. It would have been nice if they came out publicly and at least acknowledged it was an issue, rather than standing by their decisions and then doing this. The inequalities of the AFL and the playing favourites that continues to this very day, constantly astounds me.
I'd love for an honest audit of all their operations, decisions and statements. But, like them using common sense and fairness, it will never happen...
