In light of the recent news of us playing 2 games a year in NT until the end of 2016.

And at the same time producing our annual flat as a tack performance following our Darwin game, surely something needs to be done going forward from 2017.
I see four options:
1) We campaign the AFL to fixture our 2 NT games the week before our byes as 2 byes is now to become a permanent thing during the season. This will allow extra time for recovery and hopefully would become a non issue.
2) We put our hand up to become a team playing 6 games a year out of Tassie instead and try and broker some sort of deal that would still give us 10 games at the G minimum so Victorian members don't miss out to much.
3) We play all games in Victoria and try and ride the whole thing out and hope our on field performances turn around allowing our off field financials to improve.
4) Nothing at all and just chalk the following week from NT down as a loss at the start of each year?
Thoughts?
