Expantion Teams

[trunks]

With all the talk about the kangaroos and will teh or won't the eventually relocate it got me thinking if antone thought that there should be more teams like a tassi team, soughtport sharks or 3rd WA team?

or

Do some people feel like the AFL that 16 is an adequate amount of teams?

or

Do you think there should be less than 16 teams?

I think stay as it is now, but add another league with say 8 teams and if they are doing well off and on the field consider them for promotion to the AFL

If anything, I would like less teams.

The more teams there are then the longer it takes for your team to eventually have their turn near the top.

I like 16 teams though, it's the maximum for me.

I'd like to see expansion teams, definitely.

1 extra in WA
1 extra in SA
Gold Coast
Western Sydney

20 teams, keep a final 8 system (making the scramble to the finals that much harder gives it some added punch come september imo)

20 teams?! Do you know how long it would be between average premierships for each club?

Less teams is better for supporters as there is always a greater chance for success each year...

Did not vote but how about this for an idea 20 teams, 2 confrences 5 Vic teams and 5 Non Vic teams in each. 18 Round Season with a finals system based on Top 4. The winners of each confrence to play in a Superbowl game

How about a 19 round system with everyone playing each other once? Therefore Collingwood would have to travel as much as every other Vic team (not including selling off games) and the Eagles travel the same amount of times as every other non-victorian teams.

Although AFL Politics and all that bull********** prevents anything like this ever happening. 20 yrs away at least.

Unless ALL of the present 16 club can actually sustain themselves independently financially I don't see any possibility of a 17th club being added.

If everybody only played each other once, Collingwood would probably get 19 home games and not travel at all! they're the AFL's pet side.

Reverse the home sides the following year?

16 teams is plenty. Each team to play each other twice is the fairest though, so perhaps 16 is too many.
