The turbulence at the highest levels of government only really matters when it affects your AFL club. Lets look at how your club reacted to this morning’s spill vote.

Adelaide

The Crows are not that fussed. Having just gone through a coaching spill of their own. They’re really only worried about what Mark Ricciuto thinks.

Brisbane

Deeply affected. The Lions had Malcolm Turnbull commit to allowing them to have a live lion before each home game.

Carlton

Disappointed with the result. Stephen Trigg had offered to help Tony with the numbers. It would have been a 2043 to 0 result in Tony’s favour if he’d let him do them. Newspoll would have been better too.

Collingwood

The Collingwood players think Eddie McGuire is the Prime Minister.

Essendon

Bit focused on other things at the moment.

Fremantle

Don’t care. Canberra might as well be 3094.12 kilometers away.

Geelong

Very disappointed. First time they haven’t been offered a stadium upgrade during a political vote.

Gold Coast

Upset. The TV in the gym is stuck on SKY News and they’ve had to watch all this nonsense. “We want MTV back,” said a player who asked not to be identified but was totally Jaeger O'Meara.

GWS

Ryan Griffen said working behind the scenes and through the media to bring someone down is disgraceful.

Hawthorn

Believe the Abbott win is a further sign that Dangerfield will join them in 2016.

Melbourne

As an establishment club, watching the Liberals tear themselves apart is deeply distracting. Could mean a Premiership is off the cards in 2015.

North Melbourne

The Kangaroos are still waiting for the fax to tell them who won.

Port Adelaide

Not a lot of interest at Port.David Koch spoke to the players about it for two hours over the weekend but the players have learnt to just tune out.

Richmond

The Tigers find that an organisation tearing itself apart is so alien they can’t even imagine it.

St Kilda

A bit more interested in New Zealand politics these days.

Sydney

Believe this is a significant distraction from government dealing with Sydney’s out-of-control cost of living pressures.

West Coast

Just further evidence they should secede from the rest of Australia.

Western Bulldogs

Said they don’t believe the players run the club and that the Tom Boyd deal is already a huge success, which was weird given I’d asked them about the leadership spill.
