After much rumour it looks confirmed that the NEAFL will merge into the VFL, with 2021 being a “year of transition”.
Apparently the Swans will have a choice of fielding a stand-alone ‘Reserves’ team, or going with a JV with another team or spreading their players over multiple teams.
It will also be interesting to see how this impacts on NEAFL clubs like Sydney Uni and Canberra Demons as they may be about to become extremely popular with players who want to stay based close to home but who also want to play at the highest level possible below AFL.
