This is the most ill-considered and hare-brained idea of all time.
Do you think Melbourne would be in the top half or bottom half?
Do you think revenue would flow to the top or bottom half?
We already have a two tiered competition. The clubs that access a clean stadium and those that don't. West Coast and Collingwood spend $300k A WEEK more than Melbourne on their football departments.
Geelong make $600k from 20,000 at Skilled stadium. We lose $25k from 20,000 at teh MCG. Where is the fairmess in that???
We don't want the EPL. As a competition it sucks. With 50m people in the UK there are still enormous disparities between the top 6 teams and the next 6 teams. What would happen here with 20m people (and roughly 50% AFL followers of some description)
Bin this idea immediately. It's insane.
