Opinion Why are the interstate teams so bad? How do we fix them?

This is a dream outcome for the AFL. With the Vic Bias calls getting louder and louder and even acknowledged, they can use this aberration to say "see there's no Vic Bias". They also get the 2 biggest clubs from the northern states which they covet and promote for financial gain, the Vic media can play on the Fitzroy/Bloods theme so they don't feel left out, the "interstaters" aren't from WA/SA who the AFL show scant regard for. So all in all the AFL will be temporarily happy with this scenario. I expect normal transmission will return next year.

Do you think the AFL will have a massive "investigation" on why none of the 10 Victorian sides didn't make it, just like in 2006?

Well even I think Essendon needs help.

Still haven't won a final since 2006.

I hope you dont mean "help" as in assistance picks like NM got because no established team should ever get bailed out because of poor list management decisions.
