its amazing that the biggest sport in the country doesn't have its own reserves comp
Not at all amazing, the NFL doesn't have any reserves competition at all and I'm sure the AFL is looking at that as a possible model to follow in the future.
NFL doesn't have any grassroots level competition either though, it's either the big time or nothing.
they have kids comps.
primary, high school and college....
NFL players are the professional of the professional. You can also have 53 players available on any given Sunday and activate them as you wish. They train like they play. No need for a reserves comp.[/quote]
Was about to ask, what happens to the not required players on the match day squad? Maybe its the AFL teams that have got it wrong.....
