For starters we have acquired Miller Bergman( Ex Kangaroo) and Luamon Lual(Ex Bomber)

Any notable player losses (aside from Melbourne listed delistings of course)?

Seems like a pretty young Casey group? May struggle results wise but could be a good way to see how these blokes develop together.

Sounds like we are going for a reset of sorts in the 2s as well.

Rumours that 7 are thinking of dumping their VFL coverage on FTA . Anyone heard anything?

Pretty sure it's been confirmed they are walking away. It's costing them to much money to broadcast with very little return interest

Somebody must pick it up, surely.

The VFL games are already streamed with very low production values/costs via the AFL site.

The AFL higher ups doing press over in india (I'm not against exposing the game to different markets just fyi) is just a shit look as seven walks away from broadcasting VFL/VFA and preston has gone into liquidation. I mean i know that couldn't foresee seven bailing as they headed over to india but just such bad timing

I honestly don't see the point in exposing the game to the Indian market. I just don't see the reality in which a decent number of Indian people embrace the sport and play or even watch it to make it worthwhile. I can see the League opening round in Vegas idea because lotas of Australian fans want to go over and watch the game there anmd it makes it a bit of an occasion, but who's going to India to watch footy?

I guess since it's such a big population ever a minute % interest translates to possibly millions of folks interested in the game. But feels a bit like the effort to get China interested (imagine it goes the same way and peters out pretty quickly). Will need some long term investment to actually come off.
