AFL/Origin Big Kick-in membership drive

This is a nice membership incentive but it's no use to people who live in a State not serviced by Origin e.g. Western Australia.

Typical of the eastern states-centric mindset of the AFL.

The AFL is not supposed to take Origin's money cos they dont service WA?

[Squids]

Something to do with the WA still owning power?

It's fine to have Origin as a sponsor but the AFL shouldn't enter into an initiative like this unless all football fans in Australia can take advantage of it.

You would be smarter negotiating a better deal with another retailer to be able to save more than $200 allowing you to support your club as well as saving money in the longer term.

Very good and smart marketing by Origin though ...
