They shouldn’t. And he didn’t say that.
They could be offered an NPL license though, along with other clubs in NEWFM if deemed to meet criteria.
The license (providing it doesn’t end up with an NPL1/2) would enable a club to be promoted if they win NEW FM. Which would give clubs something to work towards. Atm both competitions are stagnant with the exception of some who are constantly aiming for FFA cup success at the next level
