Why not the vfl as well?

Just need to add in the the SA and WA teams

Can we have Chloe Molloy back now?

I think you answered your own question!

Can't be too hard if state clubs can complete why not finally get a national second tier

 

[DaTBird187]

What a nonsense.

 

[Headless]

Fine, you've convinced me - we'll take the money retrospectively.

No brainer to come up with a champion club trophy (not sure why you wouldn't come up with a new one and keep the McClelland for the minor premiers but anyway), but no idea why you would put up a million bucks. We need to provide monetary incentives to win now?

Don't mind a combined trophy for both competitions but as you said the AFL could have come up with a new trophy that would reflect both competitions. The McClelland Trophy will get ever more confusing in an historical since now.

So do we get a new Minor Premier trophy? or is that now scrapped?

End of season trip for the premiers just got ramped up

Agree 100%. Whilst it’s a good concept to determine the best club across both the men and women’s elite competitions, they could surely have chosen a new name for the trophy

Why? It was originally the trophy for the best team accross 3 divisions. This is essentially returning to how it once was

I’d just bring back the AFL reserves and have it for the best club across the 3 divisions.

I don’t follow the women’s footy at all, but do think it could bring more focus on the game if they are all striving for one collective goal

Its been a non event since day #1. Throw money at it to try and raise its significance. Add a couple more heads to AFL marketing.
