What Would You Do If You Were Demetriou?

Hypothetically your are in Mr Demetriou's position. What changes would you put in place?
For me, I'd push hard for the struggling teams in Victoria to relocate.
Western Bulldogs > Western Sydney
Kangaroos > Canberra
Hawthorn > Gold Coast
I'd also work harder to ensure better TV coverage in the Northern States through the next broadcasting agreement, particularly live Friday night footy.
Added to that I'd also spend even more on grassroots development in the Northern States. Get local government on board as well to replace the many H posts grounds with 4 goalposts. I'd introduce a new $1 levy on all AFL tickets to help cover the costs.
Finally, well for starters anyway, I'd also ensure as a matter of urgency that Carrara Oval remains just that, an oval suitable for footy.
Well guys and gals, what would you do in the same position?
