By who?It is a question. We're consistently told the SANFL is a better comp than the VFL. Yet Port want to switch (not that anybody has properly outlined their reasons as to why).
State leagues are an important part of the ecosystem but if they're not serving their purpose then the AFL needs to investigate why and fix it. This is what happened in Victoria in the 90s with the FORT taskforce. It came up with the structure than we still have today, giving both state league (VFA) clubs and AFL clubs different options to enter their own team or align.
Yet now people want to blow up this structure - that works well for more than half the league and has done for decades - for unspecified reasons.
I think we can have a proper review as to why and try to fix the issues before we dive in and do that.
