Maybe. Or is it better for the development of footy in NSW and Qld to have all the media attention And exposure that come with having AFL reserves teams playing in town and against local players rather than out of sight in Melbourne.They really aren't strong enough for AFL clubs to be a part of. However if the AFL clubs do move into an "Eastern Reserves" competition the NEAFL should split back into the QAFL and SFL
Aspley, Redland, Southport, Broadbeach, Morningside, Labrador, Mount Gravatt and Maroochydore (If they're still kicking around)
Canberra, Sydney Uni, Ainslie, Queanbeyan, Sydney Hills, North Shore
That would be much better for the non-AFL clubs IMO
