AGree with Ozza, the main worry is GCS. The leg up has failed. They are almost going to have to start from scratch when really this year and next year they should have been peaking.

It couldn't be that simple surely?

Introducing the FNQ Waves, the Parramatta Hellos, the Wagga-Wagga Top-Blokes and the Heinekin presesnts the Bundaberg Purples. Lets all get excited for the future of the AFL!

Of course the top 30 picks of the next 12 drafts are now accounted for to give these teams an even playing field. And they have an extra 13 million each to sign existing players from current clubs (excluding GWS, GCS or Sydney of course)
