On the one hand its a start. And it actually addresses something I raised elsewhere.. i.e..who or what the hell are they and more poignantly...where are they. Well this is somehting I suppose. But what ?? Some sort of mish mash press ganged effort. Like some made for TV pop group wil lthey actually really be much of a "team" ? I doubt it. Upside scholarship players get some more exposure and possibly support. Thats good.

I could be forgiven for thinking the AFL are now realising they are wandering around up there without any trousers and just ever so littel starting to paninc. Canberra and Riverina ..exclusive zones... geez..almost drags on the coat-tails of someones thoughts :rolleyes:

What is evidently obvious now is they (AFL ) have no real idea how this will really pan out and its all make it up as you go along stuff.

It wil lbe interesting however to see how the lads fair. If they get knocked senseless from pillar to post each week the league will have to morph its plans again.

I still beleive its only real effect will be to fractionalise an otherwise ambilavent marketplace up there.

Seems as usual teh AFL knows best :huh: and chooses to ignore the advice it sought.

Its a disaster with no particular date...just a likley outcome

    I think the AFL do have an idea on how they might want this to pan out. Saying they're making it up as they go along is folly BB. It's just the first step of many. I think the dates will come soon enough.

    Mathews (AFL ) calls it ramping it up... I call it maknig it up. lets change draft concesions.. lets ignore coaches...lets throw these lads together who may be nothing to do with a real GWS side..but gives some ponied up impression it all exists.. Bit like the false town in Blazing saddles...and strangely smells a bit like that campfire !!:D

    The AFL is praying that GWS emulates GC.... but they are entirely different beasts

    I betya there are a truck load of 'as you go' changes to come...lets wait and watch... :rolleyes:

    I think the AFL would be very seriously hoping to make Garry Lyon coach of GWS after a year or 2 as development coach

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
