Not really, no
GC has satisfied every requirement that the AFL has put forward.
The AFL and the GC team re-convene next week and the AFL will approve the necessary paperwork, and a 17th (or is it 18th?) licence will be granted.
I dont have a source, however it will be on the www.gc17.com.au website I believe.

I reckon there is more chance of the Adelaide Crows being kicked out of he comp than GC not getting a license.

true, cant wait for the day Gold coast walks off the feild for the last time. just leave the comp as it is. havent you done enough Ross oakly/ Andrew demetriou. the VFL/AFL was fine til ross came in with his "merger's" and "expantions"
Hahaha
god you trolls are pathetic, stop living in the past Fitzroy is gone and so will two other Victorian clubs long before the GC.
the VFL was flat broke before expansion saved whats left, take the glasses off mate.

I cannot believe that there are people who reckon the expansion was a bad idea. This can only be a pisstake.
most of them probably still believe the earth is flat and that storks bring babies
The expansion was good, was just done the wrong way by the wrong people.

Would prefer that Adelaide folded before any of the 10 Victorian teams.
Seriously, that attitude is what is pathetic. Just hack away at over 100 years of tradition, don't worry, that's fine, the competition only really started in 1987 when WCE/BB came in.
Disrepectful.

who is hacking at tradition mate - i'm making a point that is widely known that some people try to avoid when bagging non Victorian teams.
It is also fairly clear that 10 teams ain't going to last in suburban Victoria, I realise ignorance is bliss, but as soon as people start to realise things need to change the better they are all going to be. I hope the 2 clubs don't fold and get to move into other areas but it is inevitable.Because in the end there is going to be know where left to expand to enable the propping up of un viable clubs. I reckon the best thing could and probably will some time down the track be a 2nd tier league which teams could fall to.

The competition as a national enterprise only really started in 1987, it was a Melbourne suburban based comp before that, admittedly the strongest in the country but still a Vic comp. History is all well and good, but it has its limits, you wouldn't keep a team going purely on the basis of their history. I would shed very few tears if a couple of Vic based teams found themselves back in the VFL, however if GCFC doesn't go ahead then it would be a disaster.
Without the expansion, without the Crows, Eagles et al, Rugby League would the undisputed number one code in the land. Would you really prefer that?

It's not that I would prefer not to have the current interstate clubs (new teams like the Gold Coast and West Sydney can just go get, IMO), but the fact that some people are completely disrespectful to clubs with a 100-year plus history. That is completely wrong.
Can see the arguments for new teams, and I'm not really one who enjoys change too much, but the fact that many people activley go around spruiking for new sides and calling for the end of Victorian ones (not anyone in particular) is something I don't get, at all.

wow - well done mate, you found a current day article. I bet there were ones saying Fitzroy would survive
well lets face it, everyone has their opinion - the rest of us have to put of with Victorians dis-respecting our entire states football history, so hey deal with it, like we have to.

If GCFC coming in means a Vic club goes belly up I will shed very few tears about it. Very few.
Is that because when Benny went to rehab and Chris Judd wanted to leave, Victorians looked generally like this:

No, I didn't say I wanted it to happen, I just said that I don't care if it does. As for the first quote, well if that makes you happy then good for you. And West Sydney will even up the numbers so we won't need a bye at all.
