I should point out my angst with previous AFL admins was more around the burning desire to reduce Vic teams - and North felt the heat on that front. That and the lack of support for individual clubs around grounds - mistakes made on all sides, but, for a club like North to get shafted from a pretty reasonable set up of MCG plus (either Princes Park or interstate) and shunted into Docklands with a shocker deal.......perhaps intended to ensure the quick demise/relocation of a proud Vic club??

Meanwhile - I've been pleasantly surprised with the willingness to explore international pathways out of AFL HQ.

Ed Biggs......there's a name not mentioned for a while. What's he up to these days?

Thanks for the history Rod. Agreed it's important to note these things and acknowledge that they don't just happen over night. Sounds like there was some real vision and planning that got lost along the way for a while but ultimately pay off, with more than just a few pre season games.
