Don't just Vote, let's hear your favorite examples.

Doesn't have to be recent either, Tradition is a big part of the game.

I understand your pov from your end and I got to hear the challengers from Southern Districts side being aligned with Sydney YL for eg......
I used to travel to Nowra and surrounds with my son and got to know some parents who were Bowral based.
Hardest is the geography as you'd expect - some were saying to make training 3 times a week (some from Young for eg) was the issue let alone driving to games in Bathurst/Mudgee and even a Central Coast game on weekends. (mind you I loved all those road trips and at times stayed overnight)
No way could that work and I don't think it fair entirely FNSW blame.

It makes complete sense Wagga/Griff/Albury align with ACT - VicPL.
I agree CapFootball should be motioned to expand South/West NSW makes sense to me.


Yep, geography is the biggest issue. And I think it makes a lot of sense for Capital Football to absorb the Riverina Branch (and possibly further).
Issue I see with it mainly is, there's not a lot of football education on this side of the divide. Referees don't get the chance to get higher levels, and coaching licences were an issue. It's been good since 2017, when Griffith/Riverina Rhinos/Yoogali SC first jumped into the NPL here in ACT, as Capital Football would assist in facilitating these courses for these areas. That's now helped moreso with Wagga jumping in as well.
