WHILE it is usually seen as a stroke of bad luck when a team gets an interstate fixture, 10 VFL teams believe they have hit the jackpot in scoring a trip to the Gold Coast when GC17 makes its VFL debut next season.
Only reigning premier North Ballarat, Northern Bullants and Coburg Tigers missed out. It is the first time since the loss of Tasmania at the end of the 2008 season that an interstate team will join the competition, eliminating the bye.
Gold Coast will take Victorian football to Southport, Cairns, Labrador and Broadbeach throughout the season.
