PODCAST: BEYOND THE BOUNDARY – JANUARY 31
The most recent document presented to clubs in December proposes a three-divisional model featuring a ten-team premier league, a ten-team division one and an eight-team division two to be introduced as soon as 2025.
The proposal has received lukewarm public support from clubs. However, AFL Barwon boss Ed Wilson told K rock Football on December 21 that private feedback is more positive.
Consultation with clubs has been ongoing, with AFL Barwon keen to announce whether the restructuring will advance by the start of the Bellarine season on Good Friday (March 29).
