OK so it's 1896 and I'm influencing the renegade breakaway VFL on what teams we should poach from the VFA.

Collingwood is a nobrainer. Great club and big support base.

I'm taking South Melbourne only because we need the money. I have plans to relocate them to Sydney once the people move out of the area and the cash dries up. But they're gonna stick around for at least 50 years.

Essendon of course will join. Personal bias and they're a strong club with an eclectic mix of patricians and plebocrats.

I'm not taking Fitzroy. What's the point? They're practically going to fold in 100 years anyway. Yes they're a strong club. Yes they're financial. No it's not sustainable. Good luck in the VFA Gorillas.

I'm taking Melbourne because we need them for the brand.

I'm taking Port Melbourne for the kino factor


I'm definitely taking Williamstown. 3rd oldest club in the league and will be a fine patrician replacement for Footscray.

I'm not taking Saints. Yeah they're cashed up but we don't need their Jew money.

Begrudgingly taking Carlton and Geelong.
And I'm taking Richmond earlier than when they came in. Retarded not to have them in the original 8 in the first place.

So there we have it. 9 teams in the new breakaway VFL.
