If any more victorian afl teams are merged what would you think of that?

Question

the vfl is where it all started and i don't want the history and tradition lost so i would scrap the afl and go back to a 12 team vfl league if there's any more talk of a merger or a team uprooting itself and going interstate.victorians answer this only please.interstate people frig off!

Answer 1

afl should scrape the idea of gold coast and west sydney both will not work no teams should mearge but a team should relocate to tasmania

Answer 2

I think it would be a good idea.

Please hurry up & leave!

Answer 3

If more AFL teams were merged I would torch my car.

...nah, in all seriousness I wouldn't. I'd torch my Mum's.

Answer 4

As it stands vic sides 10, non-vics 6, the truth is it wont be the "AFL" until the numbers are evened up and more states and territories have a side. maybe get the vic side down to 6 with a new side in QLD and new side in NSW a side in Tas, NT and the ACT and perhaps one in northern WA. Only then will it be the AFL and not the VFL in disguise

Answer 5

Mate, I'm Victorian, and I think it was a good move becoming the AFL. In saying that though, I don't want it to expand any further.

Mate, the VFL would have gone no-where with out expansion, and as much as the non-Victorian teams may get on our nerves, you have to admit, it was good for the game. Some new rivalries have been established, and it's been good for the comp :)

Answer 6

**I'd hate to see any more Victorian teams merge, I think it'd be a real sad thing to see happen.  It's a shame more Victorian people don't support their team, buy a membership and go to the games and not wait until their team folds and complain about it.

As for the interstate teams, I don't really have a problem with them but at the same time I really don't think they need anymore teams interstate.**

Answer 7

Being that the chances of the afl wishing to go backwards, let me ask you something: If your team was in such financial diffuculty that the only options were to either disappear or take a financial incentive to move somewhere else, what would you rather??

And sorry, but i am not a Victorian but in these progressive times we live in, I chose not to "Frig Off". My Bad.....

Answer 8

It's inevitable that Victoria will lose one or two more teams eventually.  Population-wise, that's all they need to lose to even up the distribution amongst the real footy states and giving NSW and Qld two teams each in an 18 team comp.

If a team (Hawks?) move to Tassie and another moves to WA (third team) or ACT (Kangas?) the spread would be exactly right.

We can fight it on here - or we can sign up as members of the club we love to make sure they stay put and it's someone else who has to go.

Answer 9

What do you mean you don't want the history & tradition lost?

Are you a slow learner? It went out the window when the AFL sold it's soul to C7 & C10. They now dictate who plays where & who plays who. Those channels virtually compile the seasons playing fixtures.

Anyway, pal, the rest of Oz would really like you Vics to have your own two-bit competition amongst yourselves.......& leave the real thing to the other States - they aren't so single minded or up themselves.
