With all this talk of expanding to 22 teams, is there a risk of a smaller 'Super League' being formed?
There is no real talk of 20 teams let alone 22 teams.

22 teams means.....
- Probable higher standard of games due to theoretical "dilution of talent".
- Probable conference system so we have two conference winners and one super bowl winner.

Surely someone with the means would set up a true national league with 8-12 teams, double the salary cap, full h/a fixture.
The current system allows for an AFL match every week in every major city which produces maximum impact.

I certainly think there is a case for demarcating the administration of the game between the development / grass roots and the professional tier.
Absolutely.
The AFL should run the AFL. The AFLW should run the AFLW.
A world committee should should oversee overseas world organic growth/ direction and umpiring.
A rules (laws) committee should organise AFL laws and non AFL laws.
A development committee should oversee development in Australia and overseas.
Funding should be a set percentage of general revenue.
