Giving the federation complete control with NO ONE in a position to hold them accountable would be completely irresponsible.
Perhaps if NF spent their cash amongst the community clubs they might have a more solid support base. Mayfield Juniors must drive past the $1m office and ask the question why........I am not saying Northern are perfect but the national model is being adopted around the country and it is held to account across varying levels of constraint. Local football at Community level gets nothing currently. Seemingly it is the same in the other zones and Northern Inland have shown that a change in governance is not a bad thing. Make it happen and get in with giving back to the Clubs.
