May 16th 2008 03:52
THE AFL won't be swayed by calls from the Melbourne Football Club to restrict access for the new Gold Coast franchise to uncontracted players who are twenty-five and over according to chief executive Andrew Demetriou.
Demetriou did say however that 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.
