been following some of the stories with interest because no doubt a lot of what the AFL and its clubs do affect the VFL.

here is the latest article:

This sort of debate comes up all the time, but the way i'm seeing it is that with Sydney Melbourne and Brisbane/Goldcoast getting closer to each other all the time with cheap flights etc. these days, how long until collingwood want to join, or another AFL club wants there reserves in the comp.

Football in Victoria is getting messier and messier every year.

Collingwood can go to Saudi Arabia or even Antarctica, the further away the better.

Rumour has it GC and West Sydney won't be in the vfl.
If the flights are cheap why wouldn't GC and West Sydney wouldn't want to play in the VFL rather than the third rate ACT/NSWFL or newly proposed Americanized garbage league.

VFL Eastern Seaboard ??? What crap/garbage name is this ?
Will players have to wear baseball caps backwards with NY logo on it ?

They should have the current clubs which include GC and add West Sydney and kept the devils to have a 16 team comp. One strong comp with 16 teams is far better than fiddling around with stupid Americanism groupings.
About time the vfl comp was stabilized instead of changing year in year out.
