High level talks were held between the two bodies in the late 40s, with the VFA in a real halcyon period, poaching huge names from the VFL and some sides considered stronger than the weaker VFL sides. High level talks got to an advanced stage before collapsing over the issue of promotion. The...

With the expansion vote due next Monday, we are seemingly no closer to understanding how Sweet FA might look beyond season 33. The entry of a thirteenth team into the competition throws up the likelihood of including byes in the fixture for next season, an idea that is unpalatable to some around...

Nou Camp/SWT, 13th Round of the 32nd Season. Dear fellow qootballers, 

This is a bid for the Sweet F.A.’s 14th team. --- 

Bringing back the All-Stars along with a 13th side would be good for the league for many reasons.

 First, such a club already existed in the Sweet F.A. in two...

Ladies and gentlemen It’s that time of year again when haydo dusts off his annual vanity project, lures a handful of posters in secret squirrel fashion and lifts his posting activity to make people think he’s actually contributing something to this board. That’s right, it’s expansion time! To...

Yes, my strike rate is poor and consistency is off, but I've decided to try and do another different portfolio. School has been a pain and has stopped me from finishing many, but as the year wraps up, hopefully, I can finish this one. I plan on redesigning, expanding and adding a small story to...

I think by BBL 10, The League would have expanded or about to expand to 10 teams. it is just where will these teams be placed. I have compiled a list of places that I think would be in the running and the grounds that they would play out of. 1. Canberra: Manuka Oval. This is a No brainer. 2...

In my Realistic Future of the WAFL Portfolio in the FJGD board, I expanded the WAFL to every Region in the State. After reflecting on the portfolio and looking at the WAFL now with clubs struggling like West Perth, I think the only way the WAFL can Survive into the future is to expand all across...

The year is 2030. 11 years ago, the AFL bought the WAFL and turned it more into a development league. While the WAFC still “runs” the competition, the AFL does all the heavy lifting and makes the big decisions. This includes mass expansion all across the great state of Western Australia and now...

Future of the AFL (2030) The Year is 2030, The AFL is flourishing under its new division system that was implemented in the 2023 season when 2 new teams entered the competition. Now with 24 teams (12 in each Division), there has been more close games than ever before. With some relocations and...

Conversation surrounding the expansion of the 18 teams which are currently in the competition is focused on the untouched lands of Tasmania and even New Zealand. These two places, I believe, are viable expansion routes for the AFL to spread its influence through. However, we must think to the...

A-League Revamp Hey all, I've had the idea to do this portfolio for a while and after putting it off for a number of reasons after only doing the league logo, but this weekend I got stuck right into it as it seems to be portfolio season on here at the moment and I wanted some of that action...

We all know about Seattle and the storied events of their SuperSonics being taken to OKC by Clay Bennett and Howard Schultz resulting in the birth of the Thunder. If you haven't, the documentary Sonicsgate is worth a look. Fresh rumours popped up recently on the chances of them returning...
