9:46. Killer point. 👏👏

Great content again, really well done, have you thought about live streaming you watching some A-League games as a lot of other big youtubers do, I think that would be great

Good to see every video I watch mentions how Wollongong should be in the a-league, me living in Wollongong and us not having a team has literally killed my passion for the a-league, and I’m literally the og admin of a-league memes

My Australian 2nd Division Teams (B-League): Adelaide City West Adelaide Hellas FC Perth SC Floreat Athena FC Darwin Olympic FC Brisbane Strikers Brisbane City FC Lions FC Brisbane Maitland SC Marconi Stallions Sydney United FC APIA Leichhardt Canberra Olympic FC Melbourne Knights Sth Melbourne FC South Hobart SC

I think we need to move away from the continued creation of new teams that lack community connection or souls. I think each NPL league is full of wonderful teams full of history, and we need to invest in them for the future. Because thats where these younger players are actually coming from! No more expansion teams!!

Glad you included both PerthSC and Bayswater City. Both the biggest clubs here in Western Australia and both have great support and foundations. I know the travel costs may be a lot, but a team from NZ wouldnt be too bad in future, given they have the appropriate funding and all that

Good content 👍

im from melbourne, and even i am saying that the 2 leagues presented by these 2 guys, is too over the top.. South melbourne and Melbourne Knights should be the only 2 in peoples minds. then you have Gold Coast United and Brisbane Strikers. with Lions fc as a MAYBE !.. you put 3 in NSW with Syd Olympic, Sydney united and Marconi with the Edgeworth team being a maybe.. you need 2 from Adelaide. Adelaide City & West Adelaide, then 2 from Perth. Perth SC & Sorrento. then 1 more from canberra, Tasmania and NT

Should create a "champions league" style group stage for teams to play in this season for teams to qualify. They have to meet the criteria expected before they can make this one off playoff, but you would have arguably the best teams then qualifying to this nd2, with those who just missed out the first cabs should one of these teams have to pull out or they want to expand it

South Melbourne is the 2nd biggest team in Victoria.

Great vid as always. The 12 I would go with are Perth SC West Adelaide Adelaide City South Melbourne Melbourne Knights South Hobart Sydney United Sydney Olympic Marconi Stallions Wollongong Wolves Canberra Olympic Brisbane Strikers

I would have “franchise teams” for small markets. This eliminates division in fan bases , for example in Tasmania South Hobart would struggle to gain extra supporters because of having heated history against the other clubs. Also it would be the right place to bring in a Tasmanian and Northern Territory teams. Smaller stadium sizes and able to bring the games around there home state / territory with less regulation on where they have to play. I would also prefer to have two conferences of 8. North Eastern conference NT NQLD SQLD SYDNEY SYDNEY NSW NPL REGIONAL NSW ACT South western conference TAS PERTH WA SA Adelaide Ballarat/ Bendigo Melbourne Melbourne (With WU becoming a Wyndham Geelong united) If New Zealand teams are relegated they will go to the south western conference. If NZ wants a second A League team there are to enter the pyramid in the NPL Tasmania and to play majority of there NPL season in Tasmania. If promoted to they will unlock more nz games while still playing games in Tasmania. Tasmania selected due to the amount of clubs in there pyramid. Also the TAS NPL is also currently doesn’t have normal promotion relegation.

I would start with 16 teams: Lions FC Brisbane Strikers Gold Coast Knights Sydney Olympic Sydney United Marconi Wollongong Wolves Canberra Croatia South Melbourne Melbourne Knights Heidleberg South Hobart Adelaide City West Adelaide Perth SC Hellenic

Brad's pick

I know it's unlikely but would love to see South Adelaide play in the NSD.

10:10. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think what the guy in blue is suggesting is that the A-League should be for "franchise" teams and the NSD should be strictly for "ethnic" clubs. If so, it's what I've been advocating for ages. With that sort of structure, you could have lots of natural ethnic club rivalries- eg Greek v North Macedonian, and keep "city" derbies like Sydney v Western Sydney for the A-League. Why even think of the NSD as a second division? Why not give both the current A-League and the "ethnic" clubs league conference names- say, the "Australia" and "Continental" conferences of the A-League? You could have play-offs at the end of the season between the two conferences to determine the national champions and spots in Asia. You'd expect the "Australia" conferenceto be the stronger of the two, but it would allow so-called "ethnic" clubs places at the national league table and chances at conference, national league and Asian glory.

Speaking of pro v semi-pro for the NSD, are there currently any clubs outside of the A league fielding fully professional or near enough players?

What, you have Bentleigh Greens over South Melbourne or Melbourne Knights ???? hahah that's laugable

I have a Pro-Rel database for FM21 with a second div, if you want to check it out: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2368634951

Eureka Golddiggers Byron Bay Gypsys Nimbin Headers Broome Backpackers FC Uluru United (UU) Mt Druitt Durrymunchers Esk Eskimos Wagga Wagga United Queenstown Snowmen FC Logan Methlabs FC Hobart Wharfies Darwin Dolebludgers

Nah, sod off Sogg with "Bentleigh". Have you ever seen Kingston Heath before? It isn't viable if you want future growth. It is astounding that they were able to host Perth. Such a crap venue to go to NPL wise.

South Melbourne the 2nd biggest team in Victoria.

Relegation is a stupid idea. If a city only has one team, then it could potentially have no team in the A League, which would be a massive backward step. Overnight you'd lose a huge amount of sponsorship, media interest and crowd support. Already, the clubs are privately owned, not member owned... There is a large turnover of players during and between seasons. All this leads to the relationship between fans and clubs being precarious. This has the potential to weaken the passion and dillute interest.

They should lean fully into the meme and call it the National Soccer League.

A massive blunder. There simply isn't the crowd support for second and third tier teams. If A League teams get 10,000 then an NPL team from the same city would struggle to get 2,000 at a game. There won't be sufficient corporate money or sponsorship. Then the costs associated with travelling and accommodation would be massive, Every second week flying interstate and staying for a couple of days.
