You want to put North Saints match at optus every year? I'd think thet'd shoot 4 vic teams first. I'm not totally against the idea of streamlining the comp but it's not happening.

I know it won’t happen.

Neither will northern states list make ups come close to 50% home grown.

But there’s a heap of you Southerners having a whinge about the one advantage we northerners have, and wanting to take it away.

It’s ok to have built in advantages for the VFL clubs, that’s just a “quirk” of the competition. But it’s not fair if non VFL teams get something else that benefits them.

Lions won back-to-back flags and had 8 players under 22, nothing to worry about.

You talk about it like it's some minor quirk of list management, a part of a wider mix of advantages and diasavantages.

While that's technically true, the scales are just wildly off.

Meanwhile, us Westerners have neither. Some quirk, huh?

Just good list management

 

[Elixuh]

Good to see some more academy players going to VFL clubs. You’re welcome. Glad the lions could be of service to your list builds.

That's what gets the fans up and about. A solid P&L and smashing Balance Sheet. The latter especially is why West Coast fans have had it so good the last few years.

You’re what, 2 west aussies off being 50% local.

But have the worst inequality.
