I get that.
But just for hypothetical sake, let's say they sold it to Canberra and played Richmond.
Then there'd be no issue with it.
But they've sold it to a hometown team.
I guess...
I guess the football club... Now, they all exist to win premierships, right?
So I'm with you.
I'm hearing you.
And as a player, you'd be a bit annoyed about it.
And as a coach in that group of people, you'd be filthy about it.
But those guys don't even really get to access the discussion because it's the commercial element of the club saying, well, if we don't do this, then you don't get to spend the entirety of the soft cap or you don't get to go and do a pre-season camp or, you know, we don't have...
the ability to just do what we want to do financially.
So I think both things are true in this case.
It's no good that they're selling games to teams who get to play at home for everyone else as well.
I mean, it's giving these two teams or the team that gets to play next week in West Coast, it's giving them an extra home game.
No good for everyone else as well.
But I guess financially, they're two separate discussions and there's no real ability to marry the two because, as you said...
If you take that game and play it somewhere else, maybe they only get 300 grand and it's almost not worth it.
Yeah.
