LEAGUE TO SEEK INPUT FROM CLUBS ON LISTS
BY STEVE BAKER
ANDREW Demetriou has responded to reports published today on a push from the Melbourne football club to restrict access for the new Gold Coast franchise to players over twenty five.
Mr Demetriou said that while he wasn’t swayed by Melbourne’s proposal, the League would consider input from all sixteen clubs as part of the process of establishing player lists at new clubs earmarked for the Gold Coast and western Sydney.
“We’ve met the sixteen clubs and we met with the president’s last week,” he said today.
“A sub-committee has been formed with all the views of the clubs and they’ll come back with recommendations and I’m sure that they’ll consider Melbourne’s view.”
“I don’t necessarily think it’s a great idea , but that’s not up to me, it’s up to the subcommittee.
