It's not ridiculous when the list management is so incredibly bad that is affects the club in all respects short term and long term. And I very much doubt there is such a restriction in the AFL Constitution. The terms of losing a license would be flexible by default. The term "unviable" is not limited to immediate financial considerations. It has to go wider than that in all respects of the running of the club in the present day. That includes list management.

No club has gone for list management and clubs like carlton were damn near broke and shit with shit lists for years. No club will support the AFL in trying this on - and the AFL must have the support of the clubs to do this.

Its not going to happen, there is no precedent for it happening. This is a pipedream of yours and presumably Caroline Wilsons.

There's a first time for everything, and no, it's not Wilson's dream AFAIK. It's not mine either because honestly I don't want it to happen. What I really want (and it won't happen) is Tassie in, Canberra in, and third teams from Adelaide and Perth to make it 22. Two divisions of 11 teams each with promotion and relegation, two byes each, a lower salary cap for the lower division - and everyone playing each other once in the division.

But I know it won't.

Leeroy, I think you need to take a look at the history of the Victoria Football Association. Didn't do them any harm all. If only the VFL had just stayed away from Sunday footy.......

Yep - I expected that. They don't want the 19th club. If Tassie want a team it's relocation. They have no choice.

Still leaves too many saying no.

I think you'll find there was more demonstrable market money for the second team in Brisbane for RL than Tasmania for Aussie Rules. A second NRL team in Brisbane is the same as a second AFL team in Adelaide and Perth. A no brainer. It's a much harder sell down in Tasmania - and the main issue is the lack of publicity down there for the state league. It's a joke.
