Stand by Hird
AFL League One:
Essendon
Carlton
Collingwood
Adelaide
Port Adelaide
West Coast
Fremantle
Richmond
Hawthorn
Sydney
Brisbane
Geelong
AFL League Two:
Southport Kangaroos
Western Bulldogs (still in Vic)
Melbourne
St Kilda
West Sydney somethingoranothers
Tassie Devils/Mariners
Far North Queensland somethings
NT somethings
Murray Bushrangers
Perth
South Adelaide (or some other Adelaide-based team)
VFL Premiers
Bottom two of League One relegated
Back to the Final Four system, with the winner of League One the overall winner
Winner of League Two promoted
Play off with the next four (a la Coca-Cola Championship) for promotion
Bottom team relegated to VFL/Local League, the top team of which is promoted.
Perth and Adelaide can easily support a third team.
The Murray would be a huge untapped market with Wagga Wagga, Albury/Wodonga and many Vic country towns
I'm not sure if the FNQ and NT teams should be replaced with the SANFL and the WAFL premiers, as they make travel a bit difficult (FNQ v West Coast or something)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that each team plays the others in their league twice giving a 22 game season with more parity. Also possibly an FA cup sort of competition between both sets of teams to replace the NAB cup. Three big finals (the GF, the Playoff final (which, incidently is the richest game in club soccer), and the AFL cup final) makes for better TV.
Not sure how the draft would work though...
