WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD. SHOULDN'T HAVE DROPPED MY CRYSTAL BALL. I MIGHT BE ABLE TO TELL YOU

The new NEAFL has started off well as far as I am concerned, even though the suns are virtually getting their own way with the amount of players they are allowed to use from their list of afl players. Things are sort of rosy. The question what does the future hold for the new comp, where will the northern conference is going to expand to. Cairns is probably the first option they will look at and other than that they may not look else where. But I think if this comp really wants to get better, the sooner the afl brings in a reserves comp the better. i think the reserves comp is still on the agenda for the afl and I can see it happening in the next few years if not earlier. Next year will be a big year for this new comp, will they keep having pointless byes during the season where up to four teams will have a bye on the same weekend when they could be playing each other. But next their will be the country carnival and that will give the comp a whole round by and of course the state game as well. The eastern conference has already chosen the teams that will partake in the league next year and I have a feeling there will be more cross conference games next year. The more of them the better I suppose. We will all have to wait and see what the afl and the 2 league offices come up with for the future of this league
