AS I suspected the money supossedly going to VFL clubs is all about the AFL clubs getting their grubby hands on as much taxpayer money as possible .
No wonder the Moreland council is upset but atleast they havent wasted any money repairing the grandstand at City Oval.
Looks like the RFC is in total control at Coburg or should we say Richmond reserves?

MORELAND Council is fuming over cash it spent backing VFL club the Coburg Tigers.
As Coburg's relocation to Craigieburn becomes all but a formality, Moreland councillor John Kavanagh lamented the tens of thousands of dollars spent in recent years trying to placate the Richmond feeder club.
Sport Minister James Merlino all but confirmed the move, reported in the Leader in January, during a visit to Craigieburn last week to announce the $2.5 million State Government contribution to the football training centre.
Mr Merlino said the facility will "bring VFL and perhaps even AFL football to the area, with the Coburg Tigers slated to train and play matches at the new oval".
