National Press Club push on international vision

It was good to hear Nick Riewoldt say that he thought AFL players were currently paid enough. If the cost spiral can be maintained and with the desire to put football on a sound footing this new deal could lead to an even more exciting future. Let's not forget that it was the expansion clubs that partly underwrote their own creation with their part in media deals. Football is now played and viewed every week in NSW and Qld. Football is also reviving in Canberra with talk of stadium improvements. The NZ expansion model is similar to that of the domestic model in that the aim is to become self-funding. IMO the only reason Tasmania does not have a dedicated AFL team is that the Hawks were too successful. Now we have to wait for NM to make the transition. Currently there are a good number of AFL games played in Tasmania under special arrangements. Regardless of the desire for expansion the AFL has passed the optimum number of teams at least psychologically. Relocation and/or split representation is probably the way of the future.
