population means little so close to melbuorne now. cheap real estate out around craigieburn and then further north but its the demogrpahic moving there that is simply not interested in aussie rules. if population was a thing broadford shouldnt be in recess now.Broadford’s distance and superior population were two main factors of consideration, many of our clubs have populations under 400. Their population is larger than two traditionally strong GVL teams and they have a greater proximity to Melbourne via the Hume.
Rochester 3154
Euroa 3116
Broadford 4076
I understand that their pending admission to the Bendigo League from recess is one huge undertaking, but if they can get it right there is a chance that it could work.
FWIW, their travel distances would be shorter in the GVL, KDL, RDL, and HDL.
theres a pattern of habits that may very well see them land by default in bendigo but then be either closed permanently in embarassment or they just vote again to find a 5ht home within 15 years once they realise its a huge mistake.
communities are no longer what they once were and those numbers cant be used as a lazy reason in a for or against sense when it comes to district level footy.
