Adding nearly 20% more teams to the QAFL will actually dilute the comp rather than strengthen it. The new clubs will have to raid QFA Div1 clubs for some quality kids running round there.
Is a demand for 20% more players in the comp going to equal more money for players? And which existing clubs may struggle if player payments rise?
Will 2 new teams actually weaken QAFL than it was even in 2019? As the better players that improved the standard in 2020 head south, the competition goes back to normal. But with potentially 2 extra teams in the QAFL in 2021, what does that do to the standard across the board?
Already kids with talents at 18yo are trying to get into 1st grade to get their names out there in the 'draft year'. I can see a scenario of u17-18s moving clubs to get 'into top grade sides.
