If a third Melbourne club is doable and has potential for growth then bring them in but give the Wollongong wolves an a league license. I just want a 12 club competition. both Sydney clubs would take a lot of support down to Wollongong on away games. I think the crowds would be very decent down there. They have a great stadium for it, seems almost too perfect


I wouldn't imagine the FFA would want to just go for an 'eleventh' team, as it would mean a bye. It would add no broadcast value.

But 12 teams, as you say, would work. It might be their only choice. It'd mean a sixth match each week, and more bargaining power.


I highly doubt it will be a 33 game season though. How do you feel about 22 games with a pre and post-season until we get to 14 and 16?
