Discussion NAFL 2017-18 franchise bidding and discussion + one-off poll

[ADT50]

Sorry everyone.... feels like I haven't been on here in ages...I'll be right, just working on something.
Hobart City Bucks will now be known as
Hobart Hop Bandits

Okay okay okay

So the current state of play is, if I am correct:

Promoted:
Alice Springs Pirates
Anglesea Canaries

Relegated:
Gold Coast FC
Broken Hill Diggers

Rebranding/Moving:
Hobart City Bucks >>> Hobart Hop Bandits
Bass Straight Bobcats >>> Mackay Mariners
Adelaide Shrikes >>> Canberra Parliament

Continuing:
Brisbane Chargers
Busselton Hornets
Capital Hill Kookaburras
Melbourne Foxes
Melbourne Jaguars
Mount Isa Miners
Perth Boomers
Perth Phoenix
Waikato Tigers
Wellington Makos


So we have a spot to fill in the NAFL. What's the plan? Does it go to St Mark as he was last out? Does Don Kay get a look in after finishing 2nd in the ressies minor round (with a strong body of work behind him)? Is Klim back in the mix? Some sort of sudden death playoff? Two man sack race on consecutive Sundays?

Also of note (just as a curiosity, I wouldn't actually change anything), current state representation mix:

VIC: 3
QLD: 3
WA: 3
ACT: 2
NZ: 2
TAS: 1
NT: 1
SA: 0
NSW: 0

Does it go to St Mark as he was last out?

Given I've received about 4 votes in the last 3 seasons, I'm not putting my hand up for the spot. I might have a new team in the reserves, but I don't have a computer with the Adobe suite anymore so even that's a loose maybe.

Offer rebuffed as it came from a fella with the audacity to be named Chris Creamer

I'd love to have a crack at the seniors if a spot is available. Probably won't continue with Adelong, but will either stay in NSW or move to SA to help with numbers.
