@qqq2211 In 1985, there were attempts to relocate St. Kilda to Perth. If you read standard economics textbooks and then a AFL/VFLhistory, you will learn how for four decades the VFL: - allowed uneconomic clubs to survive with financial aid to Hawthorn and St. Kilda (never profitable since entering the League and monopolising wooden spoons) - prevented clubs from covering player and ground costs by enforcing below-market ticket prices rather than allowing clubs to set prices and cover costs

@Spocq BTW, very eloquent reply. I didn't think chardonnay sipping grandmothers would swear like that. Especially whilst knitting together at the football.

Does anyone know where I can get/watch other Headliners? I heard there's a good one about South Melbourne's move to Sydney.

Nothing like starting off with a State of Origin team to start with and it still took 6 seasons to win a flag.

It was Victorian clubs that crippled it. Should have been the other way around.

might need to watch it again mate. The Vics raped us of 16 of our best players in 2 months before we were allowed into the competition. The players were lied to and told the Eagles weren't going to be allowed into the VFL and they would rot in the WAFL if they didn't sign up there and then. Shows you how petrified the Vics were... and rightfully so. Even though you stole our best players our 2nd best players were still too good for you.

I think west coast and brisbane coming in the comp was good and bad Idea, 14 teams was great but looking at it now interstate sides rule the A.F.L , A.F.L got greedy and saw money there and brought in fremantle port and west sydney and some queensland side , looking back now they could of kept fitzroy at least locate them to carrara and V.F.L PARK i kniow everyday the afl is spewing they got rid of that ground
