It will be 9 derbies a season not 3Originally Posted by hawk
forgotten what honey is like
southern Sydney has been touted and is a big chance. Imagine the buzz & popularity of 3 derbies. Harper's fapping will send him insane
That keeps the code in attention nearly all season long
wasn't talking about the number of games MKRs but still a good idea for football.
Was that MykitchenRules on porpoise.
When the league goes to 12 teams, play everyone twice = 22 Rounds, not long enough season.
Would have to have 2 conferences, maybe something like
Sydney FC
Wanderers
Newcastle
Central Coast
Brisbane
New Sydney?
Perth
Adelaide
Victory
City
Phoenix
New Melbourne?
Play everyone twice and your conference teams 3 times.
22 + 5 Conference games = 27 games
Could even revamp the finals system, top 3 from each conference go through.
12 teams 3 games against each opponent would be a 33 game season perfect length IMO.
Would that mean a new TV deal?
It would certainly mean more content for a new TV deal.
12 team comp top 10 make the finals.
Content content content y'all!!!
yup. there are many others, membah loves it
Dolphinitely.
lol, we would be 11.
The way I see it, there's only two options for expansion that are actually viable: Wollongong (not Southern Sydney) & South Melbourne.
The ideal is to have Wollongong & Canberra but Canberra won't be able to maintain the interest, money, everything needed to last the distance IMO.
Other than those 2/3 options ^ I don't see any other legit place in Australia for expansion.
The FFA are desperate to get 2 more teams in before the new TV deal. They'll try really hard on Southern Sydney and Canberra, and they'll both IMO fail, and the "safe" options for the FFA are Wollongong and South Melbourne. And it'll pain the FFA so freaking much to allow effniks back in

OK
I think South Melbourne won't be anywhere near it.The way I see it, there's only two options for expansion that are actually viable: Wollongong (not Southern Sydney) & South Melbourne.

IMO it will be South Sydney/Wollongong and Brisbane's South Western Corridor, FFA loves Derbys and that will give them a new one in Brisbane and 6 more Sydney Derbys a year.
That "conference" idea has been tried by both the NSL and NRL ending in failure - some teams played each other three times, some once and the draw had no sense.
And I remember Rosebud being relegated after coming fifth or sixth due to those stupid rules.1984–1986: Conference system and power shift
Shrinking crowds led to the radical move of introducing more teams (mainly from Victoria and New South Wales) and splitting the league into two conferences, with the winner of each division to play off in an end of year two legged final. For season 1984 the 'Australian' Conference had competing teams from New South Wales and the ACT, whilst the 'National' Conference consisted of Victorian, South Australian and Queensland clubs. For 1985 and 1986 this reverted to 'Northern' and 'Southern' Conferences. Strangely, the competition's most geographically northern sides, Brisbane Lions and Brisbane City were in the latter grouping.
This period saw South Melbourne become the first Victorian team to win the league, followed by Brunswick Juventus, and Adelaide City, all Southern conference sides. At the end of the 1986 season, the system was scrapped, and about half the teams were dumped back to their respective state leagues. The criteria used to decide who stayed and who went was based 50% on the 1986 playing record, 40% on past playing record, and 10% on crowd support.[14] The result was that only one team from outside Sydney and Melbourne, reigning champions Adelaide City, was retained.
Keep it simple - 11 x 3 = 33
