Ideally I think the best thing to do would be to have a small carnival in the mid season break of the afl. Could have a whole weekend set up where it is all about the second tier comps. Could incorporate the state games into the weekend too.

what if you could create a higher tier premiers dont play SANFL at all and just play in a national competition? now that would certainly shake things up!
top 2 from WA, SA, VIC, 1 from Tas, NEAFL to create an 8 team league?
would mean just 7 teams in the WAFL which isnt enough, but it would leave 8 in the SANFL and 14 in the VFL.
from the initial point onwards the worst SANFL team in the national comp plays off against the SANFL premier for promotion or relegation.
not saying i 100% like the idea, but just throwing it out there. i think it would be very interesting.

Norwood could decline the invitation to participate, as it has done before. It's not like just a week out from the Foxtel Cup fixture, the club suddenly realised, 'oh crap, lots of our players have got jobs and won't be able to get the time off to travel!'heater31 wrote:Unless Norwood lied about the so called unavailability of a majority of first choice players due to work what else could be done?

so you only have to try in competitions that you care about?
