First and formost, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Second, most of these teams wont work.

Teams that wont: Auckland, Sutherland, Richmond, MetroStars, Syd Utd, Brisbane City, Syd Olympic, Sth Melbourne and Perth SC.
Reasons: Most of these areas arent viable, and for the former-NSL teams, they had there chance, we dont need those Ethnic clubs back in a national league.

Teams that may work:
Tasmania - It is a state that is overlooked by too many sports. Thay have a massive AFL following down there yet the AFL refuse to give them a team, it might be a good chance for the FFA to move in, but im sure as hell they wont be based out of fucking Devonport Oval, they have 2 perfectly good stadiums in the 2 major cities.

South Coast Wolves - Obviously a reincarnate of the Woolongong Wolves franchise. Ive heard Timmy Cahill would back and play for a team in the Woolongong region and they were a fairly successful team in the old NSL. If they do get backed by a Mr Cahill, i see them as a future franchise in the A-League.

I think in terms of a second league, its a long, long way away. Maybe after the 2022 world cup depending on interest and how we come out the other side of the WC (if we host it).
