AFL eyes ANBL

ANBL chief Jeremy Loeliger said some AFL clubs had escalated discussions for new franchises as the likelihood of expansion grows amid increased interest in Australian basketball. ‘‘There’s a lot of AFL clubs out there and we’re certainly not talking all of them, but there are a few that have really put their hand up and seem quite keen,’’ Loeliger said. to
