I’m no expert in Aus football governance. I leave that to the experts on here.
50 votes divided between member feds who serve various stakeholders.

7 votes for the women's council who are assigned by the pfa and apl

6 votes for the pfa who push to expand the professional game
28 votes for the apl who above all desire power

But all of them were deceived, for another vote was made.....

Yeah that's the board. The fa board are accountable to the Congress and the apl board is accountable to who knows?

Yes I know I am a cantankerous old cynic but we dont hear ANYTHING about the NSD or the championship for months then ON THE SAME DAY we get an article expanding on the APL model of A1-A2 for pro rel (and yes it IS the APL behind it, Matt Windley may be the eh"spokeperson" but this is very much an APL product) AND an Aus Champ launch with penalties to eliminate draws... hahahahha

They have committed to 5 years, but only 2 years in the current format
So the question remains. A NSD needs to have more than 2 states. So who can realistically step up. Someone mentioned Adelaide City in relation to them chasing Balotelli. If they have that sort of money then they would seem to be a chance. South Hobart. I suspect we forget a Perth team at this stage. Queensland federation seems to be a problem as well.

But a 10 team 4 state 18 game home and away plus finals seems very doable.

Does South Hobart have the money to though? Ideally because of geographic placement, I think Canberra would be in a good spot if it's going to be primarily VIC + NSW. But the only club in Canberra that I can realistically see even be able to be a waiter at that party is Croatia.

A closed 10 or 12 or 14 club NST will fail , maybe not immediately but after 2-3 years it will.. Has to be pro rel from the very start (or from the second season at worst) for this to have ANY chance of succeeding.

The first 2 years were meant to be about "gathering metrics" lets see what lies they feed us in December.

I'm happy with that - but it needs to go wider than 2 states first.
