Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11

Hopefully WC and Freo get to play Norf twice next year.

Surely a club can't sell a home game to a club then expect that guarantees they will only play that side once??

They won’t be flying to WA four times.

Instead, they get extra away games against other Melbourne clubs and nominate them for ‘make up’ games for their members that can attend for free.

Honestly it’s not a bad gig. ‘Home’ games aren’t really home games in Vic so that means away games aren’t really away, or so we keep hearing when the big clubs player 17 games in their own state.

It's time for North to hand back their AFL licence. Tassie come in to replace North.

Tassie get a pick of 12 North Players as their core start up and 5 players from other AFL clubs and the rest of North's players can go anywhere they want like delisted free agents

Does anyone genuinely know a North supporter?

Yes my Cousin use to play for them and his wife and one of his daughters support North even though his father in-law is an Essendon premiership player and AFL life member. His eldest daughter supports Grandad's team in Essendon.... Not much better to be fair.

I would be happy for North to move West and be the 3rd WA team. The state can support it from a population and importantly, a corporate support point of view.

Draft and trade sanctions please!!! Extended year Soft cap reduction for Geelong please!!

Actually punish Geelong the club in some way

We all know that the only punishment will be that the arrangement will need to be terminated.

No way they will actually receive any real punishment.

If it was us, on the other hand...

Why can't Norf fly to WA 3 or 4 times?? It was their choice to move some of their home games there.

It's such a scam, how can the AFL guarantee Norf won't play either of the WA sides twice for the next 3 years??

If we move our home game vs Geelong to Marvel does that mean we only have to play them once a season and never at Potato Park?

**** the AFL is so amateur hour.

Paul Marsh is a Port supporter

Bulldogs have sold Ballarat home games.

This to me should be their future. Promote themselves as Western Victoria, based mainly in Ballarat.

Gives them a genuine market and identity rather than being just another generic Melbourne club. Geelong shows that a regional team can work, there is enough major centres in that region to provide an ongoing supporter base.
