    Hawks forced out of Tassie - Where to next?

    They sure have. The AFL are old hands at this sort of action. Let's take my club alone. Fitzroy was refused permission by the AFL to partially relocate to Canberra, and play seven home games there each season, despite having played two home games there in 1995 and having negotiated a deal...

    Fitzroy's last AFL win - 30 years today - May 18th 1996

    20th AFL Team

    I am, but many I know from the Fitzroy days are not. That depends on how well they were supported by the AFL. Both in terms of the move itself and in the subsequent years. The Melbourne supporter base isn't key to the Brisbane Lions success. The Brisbane Bears were on an upward trajectory...

    20th AFL Team

    That wasn't because of a 'merger'. Only with considerable AFL support both off-field and on-field. It would take years for a relocated club to establish itself in their new location, particularly in the northern states. It would be helped if they could retain a significant slice of their...

    20th AFL Team

    It's pointless speculating about it, given that mergers, under no circumstances, could be forced. All that could be done is offer enough incentives to merge. Even though that was done, no actual merger has ever happened. All could have worked (given the colours of each of the participating...

    20th AFL Team

    It was either expanding the VFL or starting a national competition from scratch with clubs invited to apply/join. John Elliott's plan was to set up completely new clubs as part of a new national competition.All 12 Victorian clubs would have been invited to compete but would have had financial...

    How would they have done that? The AFL didn't own Victorian clubs.

    Which Final Ten System is the best option to use post-2028?

    Why would one group of five be weaker if the two final fives were based on end of home and away ladder position...1,3,5,7,9 and 2,4,6,8,10. If they're the 2nd best team in the competition. what are they doing in 3rd or 4th position at the end of the home and away season? Another chance to...

    Which Final Ten System is the best option to use post-2028?

    I'd go a five week 10 team final series split into two final five series. 1,3,5,7,9 and 2,4,6,8,10. 1 and 2 have the first week off (No pre-finals bye week) 7 v 9 and 8 v 10 elimination finals 3 v 5 and 4 v 6 qualifying finals. The winner of each final five plays off in the Grand Final for the...
