A while ago I put together a portfolio called "Halving the AFL." I've revisited the idea with an updated template and layout.
The basic idea is simple. The AFL has experienced a massive financial downturn. Clubs are left in a desperate situation; merge or fall apart. The limited AFL step up and enforce a plan to only fund merged clubs.
This led to a mad rush by clubs to find partners. Some marriages were happy, others... not so much.
