On the bolded, probably why the NRL hasn’t tried it.
On the rest of the post.
I believe you’re missing my point, it’s supposed to be a NATIONAL competition, but those running it and 40% of its fans do everything in its power to keep the power and advantages to one state, to the detriment of the rest of the teams. But then you go and whinge when a non Victorian team benefits from something you don’t.
40% of it's fans?
Try again.
In terms of membership numbers Victorian fans make up 63% of paid up fans in the comp. (that's excluding the MCC, which has 103,000 members, which would make up 10% of the total membership number in the AFL and make the 63% over 70%)
55% of the competition is Victorian clubs.......
Technically Fitzroy should be back based on where the pure number of fans are located.
Do a few thousand fans in Western Sydney deserve a football side over a few hundred thousand fans in Tasmania? No, which im glad the AFL has come to their senses on. The same could be said for GC or even Brisbane vs Fitzroy if we are talking honestly.
