Tea Tree Gully over 35’s Masters also bid to be 20th AFL team if AFL allow beers on bench

With the announcement that Norwood is keen to become the next AFL team, another local team (albeit much older and far less skilled) has decided to throw their hat in the ring.

The over 35’s Tea Tree Gully Masters plan to formally submit their bid to the AFL once a few provisions can be agreed upon between the team and the AFL. These include the allowance of beers on the bench, 18 home games a year, and a couple of Fireball bottles in the changerooms.

‘It’s a great plan, and I think we’d be real contenders’, said team spokesperson, forward, and coach Dylan Brown ‘I mean, not contenders on the field obviously, but when it comes to ongoing injuries and gambling issues, we’ve got guys on this team who will rival many AFL players’.

‘I think the Power and Crows are looking like good development squads for the TTG Masters, Motlop and Walker will be of eligible age next year’.

‘Sure, some away games we don’t have enough players to fill a side. Plus one of our midfielders forgets which way we’re kicking half the time. But still, have you seen the Crows form this year? Yikes’.

The team plans to formally submit their bid to the AFL once they’ve finalised their much more important plans for the end of season footy trip.
