Three times key stakeholders in Australian Football have applied a scorched earth policy and destroyed what was there and set up a new.
In 1955 in the Sydney competition,
The NSL in the 70’s
Hal in the 00’s
Frank Lowy was a key player in each revolution, all started with a bang and ended badly. Well Hal has not ended but declining.
It leaves two questions, do we want to destroy Hal and start again ? or Do we develop and change Hal ?
Personally for me I think the various fractions if Hal fell over would have trouble putting in place a commonly agreed format… So for me I would prefer to develop and change Hal for whats needed and with the new governance model, clubs now in charge of Hal, a second division forming, new CEO of FFA seemly coming from Football.... Change is happening the speed can be argued but you can't argue change is not happening.
Open question , scorched earth and destroy Hal… or Develop and change Hal
