The Minneapolis franchise formally withdrew from the AFL on January 27 and was replaced on January 30 by one in Oakland, California, owned primarily by Chet Soda.
The AFL expanded to nine teams in 1965 when Minneapolis attorney Joseph Robbie and television star Danny Thomas were awarded a franchise on August 16 for a fee of $7.5 million.
The AFL also adopted the first-ever cooperative television plan for professional football, in which the league office negotiated an ABC-TV contract, the proceeds of which were divided equally among member clubs.

It is generally thought that if the AFL expands into a new area, one of the less financially well-off Victorian clubs will re-locate, rather than an entirely new club being formed.
The Kangaroos play regular premiership season games at Manuka Oval in Canberra, and the Bulldogs have played in Cairns and Darwin, leading to more speculation that they are attempting to build a supporter base in those areas for future re-location.
To celebrate the 100th season of the VFL/AFL, the "AFL Team of the Century" was named in 1996.

 Club doctors support longer season - realfooty.com.au
The AFL Medical Officers Association yesterday became the latest group to strengthen the case for a 24-game AFL season, after clubs and players this week showed their support for the extended season.
Speaking at the launch of the AFL injury survey for 2001, AFLMOA vice-president and Melbourne club doctor Andrew Daff hinted the organisation was satisfied a 24-match season would not increase the risk of injury, as under the plan, individuals would play fewer games than at present.
The AFL must make a decision on the extension of the season by the end of this month.

 Some are more equal than others
The way I have calculated the DEI is the fairest way to calculate bias or unfairness of the draw because it is a totally objective measure of the degree of difficulty of playing each team based on their previous year's form.
The AFL claim that with their criteria they have no real way of ensuring fairness in the draw each year.
If the AFL insist on a 22 game season you can then ensure that each team plays 2 teams from each of the groupings except the grouping that they are in where they simply only play one team.
