The Gold Coast Suns and Port Power will be detained in China and not permitted to return to Australia. Brisbane franchise relocated to Adelaide and renamed the Powerful Lion-Bears. Problem solved.
Hmmm. Good question. A few years ago I would have said merge kangaroos and bulldogs and have a 16 team competition. That's not going to happen now after the Bulldogs success. Commercially there would be no appetite for a bye or 16 teams. So a new team in Tassie would be the only option I suppose. But too much involved for this game day thread.
A very cunning plan by AFL HQ. This is Gill at his best. Plays the long game. Its about time the AFL had a win against bloody foreigners.
At the airport:
Gill: Best of luck on the trip boys, here is a little parting gift as ambassadors of good will.
Players: Cool!, a new boogie board.
Gill: Now dont take them out of the bags until you get there, you dont want to lose the tie rope.
Gary Ablett: But I hate the surf.
Gill: Jesus Gary, you're an ungrateful little @@@@. Take it.
Never to be seen again.
