Now that the Canberra clubs have graduated to the NEAFL - which has nearly as many Sydney based teams as Canberra ones, it is about time home ground advantage goes to the teams who have earned it. We are already giving away a fair amount by being limited to 12 listed players in the finals. I realised VFL clubs have a similar limitation, but they generally have squads of mature non-AFL players to pick from. We have a bunch of skinny 17 and 18 year olds, so once the number of them gets above a certain level, it becomes physically tough on them. Still, our top-ups have done the team proud throughout the year, so hopefully they can keep the good work up.
