Of course short term there would be a hit on the standard of the leagues...the talent has to come from somewhere. The point is long term development. Maybe 3-4 existing clubs are designated as feeder clubs for particular teams.
The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
They do this in the WAFL as well. I understand why they do it, but you loose all the advantage of having teammates playing together for an extended period of time...which has given the Swans alot of recent success and it looks like we're about to see it again....in short not a fan of the idea. Would prefer to see the current system where listed players are limited.
There will be two teams with AFL lists as well...not just the Swans.
Does anyone know the current plan for the GWS? Are they going to Canberra?

You are dreaming!

YOU BETCHA!!!!!!
No he's not, he did say on a really good trip. I live in the hills and it takes me on average 2.5 hrs to get to Manuka and 1.5 to Newcastle
Yep, I have a habit of doing that too...
Sorry perfect driving record. It always bemuses me when Sydney drivers are repeatedly surprised they get stuck in a traffic jam because everyone else decided to drive their cars at the same time.
Fact is the trip is a tad over 420km (depending on where in Canberra to where in Newcastle). If you travel off peak (midnight for example) and use the M7 or get a good run through the city it can be done in around 4 hours. I admit it's unlikely a football team would be travelling at such a time by road).
Don't defy me on this statement as I'd guess the only people who have the trip more than me would be some truck drivers or couriers or are 200 (Keeping in mind most rucks don't go through Canberra).
And listen to Jewels - there's a poster with a lot of knowledge.
No, mate, I'm just saying that my little baby brother knows stuff all about football, and gives Mum Puppy Eyes when he doesn't want to eat his Brussel Sprouts.
Whereas Puppy Eyes nose all....
The WAFL does have players spread across the board however Worsfold has already indicated he wants an Eagles reserves team as a stand alone team in the WAFL.
If footy in both NSW and QLD wants to be stronger it needs to be a stron state league comp.
As indicated you may hampen other leagues but i guarantee you qulaity players from leagues to have an op to play in a strong state based comp they would prefer that.
With and dnt quote me someone suggesting a mid season player draft then it open the door to quality mature age players to show their wares. it also exposes yngr players to playing wqith men. Hence whi Rich done so well for the lions, he has been playing seniors for Subiaco the last couple of years.
a 8 or 10 team comp with teams from Sydney + 2 afl ressies, CC, Newcastle, Wollongong, Sth Coast, Riverina far north coast etc..
Alternatively and i think you may see this again is to bring back either the reserves AFL comp or at least an under 21's like the NRL, exposes to a higher level of comp
