New AFLW teams

I was very disappointed the other day when the AFL decided to add 4 new teams to the competition. Granted that the game is booming at the lower levels, but these 4 new teams are going to want to competitive from day 1. That means stealing players from existing teams. The Victorian teams are going to be hurt more than any other, as 3 of the 4 new teams are Victorian.

I am glad to see Port Adelaide though: their existence will help balance out Adelaide's dominance, ridding us of the worst anomaly in the comp. But the rest ... I would have waited a few years, myself, until the Adelaide issue was behind us.

I have no idea who we may lose, but we will probably lose somebody with negligible compensation.

We're Carlton Crash, of course we'll lose somebody with zero compensation. Been the AFLs toy for 20+ years now.

All too true.

But I can hope we can get our players signed up and safe.
