Franchise Notes: AFL North Melbourne Looking To Play 3 Home Games In Hobart Next Year

Australian Football League side North Melbourne has "confirmed it will push to play three home games in Hobart next year" as the AFL appears to have "drawn the battle lines over the future of home-and-away football in Tasmania." AFL Deputy CEO Gillon McLachlan on Tuesday confirmed that the AFL would "strive for a one-team model in the state, a comment that genuinely surprised both the league's Tasmanian home clubs, Hawthorn and the Kangaroos" (THE AGE, 4/15). ... National Rugby League side Parramatta directors are "asking for their annual payments to be doubled in a move that has sparked a fresh round of tension behind the scenes at a club resurgent on the field but continuing to be riven by factionalism off it." The Parramatta Leagues Club board on Tuesday released "their resolutions to members ahead of next month's annual general meeting and among a series of significant mooted changes at Pirtek Stadium is a pay hike for the seven directors" (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 4/16).
