I doubt there is a simple answer otherwise we would have explored it alread.

Bit of a bummer really.

So even if we wanted to enter our own team and we paid for our opposition to come to Sydney, it would never happen due to the stated desires of the VFL to retain their identities.

Only way we can go back into the VFL is if we came to an agreement with an existing club to lend out 12 or so players on a weekly basis.

You're right DST. Except then they admitted a Tassie team. Work that one out.
