Where would the teams come from? Dingoes? Christies beach? Steve irwins, kenilworth? Mitcham returns?..... Is doable but would need planning to start now?

However, there is some important things that need to be done in the short term to ensure that the competition is heading in the correct direction.
We have just lost a team & the rumours of a reformation next year have certainly quietened & wouldn't be surprised if they didn't come back. In the women's competition 1-2 sides have been struggling for numbers & number of 15-a-side games have dramatically reduced.
IMO we need to start putting some measures to protect the teams at the bottom & assist them in growing successful cultures.
I have great respect for Doeckes, but realistically how long will he be prepared to frantically produce players on a Sunday afternoon. Especially when there is a fair chance that particular teams at the top are going to see a good player & start trying to steal this player. This has happened very recently in both the men's & women's competitions & is an issue that is effecting the quality of the competitions in other states as well.

IMO the existing clubs need to be strengthened and expanded rather than bringing new teams in. Possible a couple of mergers to bring the number of clubs down to 6 which will allow each club to also have a women's team
