A new view on a Second Division in the A-league
August 12 2009
I propose to amalgamate State League teams that are strong and financially viable, and in a close proximity together, and rebrand them. So for example, in Sydney you could amalgamate Marconi, Sydney United and Bankstown City Lions.



i realise that merging certain teams would obviously cause crowd violence between the teams own fans, which is why the teams and FFA have to use a little common sense on the issue.. Also because there will be only a max 2 from each state it minimises the chance of local fans going head to head at each other

But because a few clubs have been merged, the ethnic ties go out the window because if an italian club merges with a croation club and greek club, where is the ethnic tie? What country would it represent? Alongside the rebranding and community engagement it could squash the issue or make it irrelevant

Tactically this season will be better than last due some of the exciting coaches we have (Blieberg ,Branko, Lavicka). Pip, to be honest Melbourne and CC have never really been the exciting teams of the league. So i dont think you should judge the season based on last nights game. The step up in quality should come from teams like GC, SFC, Perth, Bris, Jets (Branko is a good coach, and they have bought well in the offseason, particularly Vignaroli)
