That was in the prior format, if GVL kids could play in the VFL and still be in the area I'd be tipping a lot more would stay in the GVL, which in turn would strengthen the GVL and weaken the current non AFL aligned sides like Willy and Port.I like it in theory but when Willy and Port Melb are actually better teams than many AFL reserves teams then they’d dominate the league. Traralgon and Bendigo ended up as disasters and North Ballarat self imploded.
