Speculation is mounting that the AFL is eyeing a departure from its Docklands headquarters to an office in Melbourne's CBD along Collins Street.
According to The Australian, while the AFL commission is yet to sign off on the shift into the heart of the city of Melbourne, the 34-story 695 Collins Street address is widely viewed as the league's new headquarters, given its customisability that could "suit the AFL's needs".
Commercial and residential real estate service, Colliers, have been advising the league with the move, with several inner-city options scouted in the process but the Collins Street option looms as the final call, with its closeness to the Docklands location allowing for a smooth transition.
Additionally, the tower is home to Google and Seven Network, making communications between the AFL and two of its biggest partners much more streamlined.
The move is yet to be confirmed, however, with The Australian reporting that the AFL have declined to comment on the matter.
The AFL has been based at the Docklands since 2000, while prior to that they occupied office space within the MCG's Great Southern Stand.
