So promoting local clubs to a national Spotlight is prohibited because it offends other local clubs. I wonder if the big clubs in Ballarat and Bendigo who could be promoted to the national competition are sighing. This is a convenient mind set to retain the status quo money flows. Any creative administrator worth a donut would use such offensive behavior to create opportunities. Don't use AFL to promote a location. I know what's wrong up there and it's the same everywhere. The AFL administrators drive past Oz Kick and think... 'Wow there's our future supporters!" It's all about the eyeballs but it's not. 40 000 watchers on Sat Nights in Sydney and Brisbane Free to Air and that's enough to LORDE over the Bendigo's Ballarats and Tassies. It's all about maintaining the most money to the least amount of people.

Yeah but as Thom roker would say, making Southport an AFL side would burn bridges with the other large clubs on the Gold Coast.

Southport need to take over the Gold Coast Franchise. Fresh Start work with a Local Community. Go small and get real. B/S teams in TV never land have no real meaning beyond the wages and the ratings. I'm not saying no one cares but what they care about is not connected to grass roots.
