Get the fans in earlier to spend more om food and drinkAt this point, it just seems to make sense to have a reserves side for every AFL team that plays a curtain raiser to the league game. Try and encourage spectators to arrive earlier.
Allow the VFL to be its own standalone comp, where the stand alone teams don’t have to fly interstate to play the Swans and Lions etc.
Let the WAFL and SANFL not have the problems of trying to fit the Eagles and Crows etc in.

Although, currently any curtain raiders are sporadic. They aren’t before every game. So they put them early enough that AFL teams get a consistent warm up on the field as when there is no curtain raiser.Even when they have curtain raisers which is rare these days as they have to look after the ground surfaces the curtain raiser finishes nearly and hour to and hour and a half before the main game.
It won't ever be like it was with Reserves in the 80's.

If there is a reserves team for every club, the warm up can be consistent at a shorter time for every week, and the league teams can just adjust for the whole season, rather than on a sporadic basis.
Just play on the state league suburban grounds- whenever the local team plays away, the reserves game is on their ground that week.The grounds won't allow for these games mate, doubling the amount of games on these grounds will cause issues for the AFL potentially being liable to injuries as the grounds will get chewed up.
If a national reserves comp happens they will almost certainly be played at other grounds and on other days most of the time.

I have never understood why there isn't a national reserves competition anyway.
Play a full AFLW season at the same time too.
Follow the same fixture as the seniors and then play all three games on the one day (just like the old days).
10:00am - AFLW
12:00noon - AFL Reserves
2:00pm - AFL Seniors
I think it would be awesome, like the old days.
Just not sure about costs...Travel etc.
Ah yes! The old days when on a wet day after U19s and ressies the ground is a muddy heap for the seniors game. Please no.I think it would be awesome, like the old days.
