The VFL will merge with the league for the Queensland and New South Wales clubs, and the under-18s system will be revamped in a dramatic reshaping of the AFL’s second tier.
The league announced on Monday the NEAFL would be absorbed into Victoria’s state league competition, with 2021 to be “a year of transition”.
The Victorian clubs as well as Sydney, GWS, Brisbane and Gold Coast will be allowed to either field their own teams in the new VFL, align with an existing team or spread their players across multiple clubs.
No changes have been made to the SANFL or WAFL.
Meanwhile the junior pathway will change with the NAB League switching from under-16s and under-18s competitions to under-17s and under-19s.
However the draft age will remain at 18 for both the AFL and AFLW.
The VFLW model is also under review.
