Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 3546238, member: 8190"] My concerns over the fast-tracked expansion are seemingly coming true Along with fans like on here lamenting the mass player movement, while Canberra and Wests have so far jumped ahead quickly, Dragons and Eels have predictably slumped because they’ve been cannibalised by other teams, mostly Wests eating Eels and Sharks eating Dragons It’s a tricky balance and I understand the short term-long term view, but I think 8 teams with a longer season was the way to go. In the 4 and 6 team seasons you effectively had all rep teams playing each other and fans were excited for new players to get to know and support. Now you have teams full of NSW Cup players that no one knows and teams getting easily beaten with questionable game quality. But again, it gives them a platform and a rising tide kind of deal to make something of themselves Wouldn’t surprise me if they felt the pressure from AFLW to have more teams, but they have their own set of problems that the AFL still haven’t fixed I hope people do try and stick with watching the girls, because aside from the Dragons and Roosters, most teams have majority of their squads on two and three-plus year deals, so there is some consistency in the short term at least The next thing they must do is play longer and earlier to 1. give a better origin product, and 2. Make it so that losing 3 games doesn’t spell the end of your season [/QUOTE]
