How to improve the NAB Cup

29 Feb 2012

The AFL’s NAB Cup pre-season competition is good, but why isn’t it great? The current system, as part of round one, has a round-robin system where there are three teams and three games in one day/night.

In a true national competition, you cannot have 10 teams in 1 state and 8 other teams, 2 from each state. 3 or 4 maximum in the one city. By 2030: AFL: 16 teams Adelaide Port Adelaide West Coast Fremantle Sydney GWS Giants Gold Coast Brisbane Tasmania Northern Territory Mandurah/Rockingham Cairns/Towsnville Melbourne Wildcats (Richmond/Melbourne/North Melbourne) West Melbourne (Western Bulldogs/Collingwood) Victorian Team (Hawthorn/St.Kilda/Essendon/Carlton) Geelong 2 conferences, change every year (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th & 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th). play everyone from your conference twice and everyone from other conference once = 22 rounds. Foxtel Cup = 32 teams SANFL/WAFL = 16 teams VFL/TFL = 16 teams NSW/ACTFL/QFL/NTFL = 16 teams NAB Cup knockout competition, once you lose play off against another team. State of Origin = 8 teams (Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory, New South Wales/ACT, Queensland, Tasmania, International) Played 2 weeks after Grand Final over 3 weeks. 2 Divisions, 4 teams each. the best 4 teams all vs each other, the worst 4 teams vs each other and the best team of the 2nd division and the worst team of the 1st division switch each year. International Cup includes Australian-AIS Academy team, then eventually All-Australian team.

Rugby league now a legitimate AFL recruiting ground

clearly international rules is going down the drain. We need some form of representation. State of Origin has to be it. I say every year 2 weeks after the grand final and go with michael's idea, except, combine Qld and NT and NSW and ACT. 3 games, friday, saturday and sunday night, promotion relegation each year???
