Eddie came up with a better idea. Two non WA clubs fly over, play one WA team one week and 6 days later play the other side.

Then the WA sides each seperately play two games away with a 6 day break and stay interstate for six days.

That would reduce interstate travel for all involved, including non WA clubs. Eddie was pumping up AFL tourism as fans could visit Perth or Melbourne for 6 days and watch two games. Very smart concept.
More accurately, Eddie did not come up with that idea. The subject of ‘interstate’ travel has been appearing here fairly often over the years, with that idea raised as one possible solution.
Travel is an issue only for WA fans. It’s all but invisible to the vAFL media - so it’s a pleasant rarity to hear that from Eddie (whose club probably has more advantage than any).
