Portland would most likely stay in the WB.
Probably expect two from the KNTFL or MSEFL gravitate to the WBFL - willingly or unwillingly.
Failing that, a two division comp combining WB and MSE would be the other option.

2 teams would have to come from the KNTFL - MSEFL would struggle wouldn't they?

There were originally 12 x WBFL Clubs but going into Season 2012 there will only be a 9 x Team Competition.
With the approval of non-competitive Heywood over a 30 yr period moving to the SWDFL for next season which also follows the previous defections of Coleraine's move to the SWDFL in the late 90's & Penola's move to the KNTFL in the mid 80's & the regular applications to the League from Hamilton x 2 & Hamilton Imperials x 5 for approval to move to HFL (which have been rejected).
The future for this current WBFL format unfortunatley looks bleak so hopefully with the review that takes place throughout Season 2012 we do not see the death of the WBFL.
The AFL with its multi-billion TV rights deals should be investing a little back into the grass roots competitions which has been a previous breeding ground for AFL talent & with some investment into the right structure the WBFL could once again be force.
What options are there for the WBFL?
Do they leave it the way it is & try attract another 1 or 2 Teams to join from the SWDFL / HFL / MSEFL / KNTFL??
Do the VCFL / SACFL deide to part ways & join their Victorian & South Australian Clubs to exisiting competions???
Would this mean the South Australian Clubs from the WBFL / MSEFL / KNTFL join forces to make a South Eastern FL with the 22 x Clubs split into 2 x Divisions of 10-12 Teams across in each Divison 1 & Divison 2 with a promotion / relagation system each season for the weakest 2 x Divison 1 teams going down & strongest 2 x Divison 2 Teams coming up???
With a similar senario for the Victorian Clubs joining current Leagues????
Where to next for the WBFL is the million dollar question.....
