2 conferences?
Body: 
Although I do prefer the non AFL involved league I suggested in a recent post (see possible football victoria restructure?) but if AFL teams will play a part in the future of the VFL competition, and the TAC Cup remains as is, how about a split conference system used in american sports? It would consist of a VFL conference and an AFL conference. The obvious benefits are that AFL teams get to control their own players whilst still getting a good game of footy against seasoned VFL bodies. The VFL clubs on the other hand are still competing against elite footballers and still receiving media exposure as a result. If anything it at least gives the league a structure rather than the mess that it is now? The winner of each conference would play off for the Grand Final. Might create a nice little conference rivalry? AFL Conference: Carlton Collingwood Essendon Geelong Hawthorn Kangaroos Melbourne Richmond St Kilda Sydney Western Bulldogs VFL Conference: Bendigo Box Hill Casey Scorpians Coburg Frankston North Ballarat Northern Bullants Port Melbourne Sandringham Tasmania Werribee Williamstown 23 teams.....22 rounds....everyone plays each other once? (fits nicely into the AFL calendar) Just throwing up ideas? Cheers.
