What do you think it looks like? Specifically, the number of teams and how the fixture is organised. Realistically, what is the most number of rounds you could have in a season that isn't going to fry the players? 24? 26? 28? How can you have 30 teams in the AFL and have everyone play each other at least once?
I think we will eventually see a Tasmanian team, a Northern territory team, and an ACT team. I've seen people say that we might have more teams in WA, NSW, QLD, and SA one day. That's entirely possible, but doesn't that mean we'll need conferences? Do you think there'll ever be a limit in how many AFL teams there are?
The NFL has 32 teams in a nation of approx 330 million people.
We already have 18 teams, so perhaps aside from a Tasmanian team, NT team, and ACT team, all within the next 20 years, there's no need to have too many teams for a long time. I think those three need to happen, so we have a truly national competition, but our population is more than 10 times smaller than the USA, so surely there will be a slowdown in the number of teams introduced if there isn't already.
What are your thoughts about the long-term of the AFL? What new teams would you like to see in which locations, and what do you think would be a sensible and feasible way to fixture a league that has 24+ teams?
