Could the AFL survive without Melbourne?
Lets say Melbourne was just nuked suddenly or something- would the rest of victoria, tasmania, SA, and WA be enough to sustain the competition? Would it still thrive? Or would it collapse

Cool AFL/NFL facts I have found that happened at a similar time
New Orleans Saints were discovered in 1966. One month after St Kilda won their first flag. New Orleans won their first superbowl in 2010, sandwiched between two grand final losses for St Kilda
Carolina and Fremantle joined in 1995, had their best patch in the 2010's, made one grand final, lost and haven't won one yet.
2001 Baltimore and Brisbane won their first ever premiership after first being established in 1996.
2005 both Eagles teams lost their grand finals by a combined 7 points
2008 New England and Geelong went a combined 37-1 throughout the season but choked in the grand final.
Incidentally, both Hawthorn and the New York Giants won their first premiership since 1991.
2018 both Eagles teams won their grand finals.

Lachie Gulbin gets presented with his number 39 guernsey.
He was given the jumper by Ryley Kemps parents, Ryley was a suns fan and was given the number 39 guernsey in 2022 before passing away, Lachie will now have the chance to represent him every time he plays for the Suns.

Bachelors In Sports Management
I’ve just been offered to do a Bachelors in Sports Management and i’m wondering what kind of jobs I could get with it specifically with the AFL as its my dream to be a list manager or a scout or something along those lines.
So to those with experience and knowledge in this area, what AFL specific jobs would this degree get me?

Throughout the entire history of both the VFL and the AFL, which player do you think is the biggest waste of talent?
Whether it be Injuries, inconsistency, or off field dramas, who do you think it is?

Troy Selwood 2012 VFL Grand Final medal presentation and speech.
Feels like yesterday when he captained Geelong to a premiership.
One of my favourite players as a kid, RIP Legend.

Sorry Swans fans.

Greatest rebuilding coaches?
Specifically coaches who were good enough to build a team, but not good enough to take them to finals (consistently). Stuart Dew is the prime example of this. Any future success Gold Coast have will be thanks to him. Brendan McCartney is also another example.
