The AFL is breaking their own rules if the above is accurate and by the sounds of things it is.
The regional centre should be the only one that North should be allowed to play at.
The AFL should not regard Perth as an emerging market.
North are clearly concerned with their financial position. I heard earlier in the year that they were offering significant discounts to try and attract sponsors. I don't think they had a sponsor for their shorts.
North need that Hobart cash and must be in a dire position.
