The folks who are behind the Docker Fokkers hedged their bets this year. WCE fans were allowed to register for a seat in the event the Dockers lost. The Docker Fokker will still go, it will just be full of blue and yellow.
And the irony of all this is that the players all fly commercial in economy!
I am surprised that by now the Perth teams don't have a private jet or long term charter contract between them given the amount of travel they do.

Back in the days when Qantas flew the AFL players, a particular Brissy 737 Captain with connections to a few of the Lions players, "managed" to operate most, if not all, of the team's flights around the country.
It was not unusual for the flight to return from interstate at lower (cabin) altitudes to facilitate the improved recovery from soft tissue injuries to the players.

The dream was better at ¼ time, acceptable at ½ time, and went south, though not too far, from there.
