There are some investigation needed to do a few what-if scenarios before things get changed, these should have been done before the two teams joined. I understand that the people on this forum want the best for the competition but need to make sure it the right decision and what is the impact.
Problems in business can be like trying to squeeze a ballon in a box, you can push one side in but the balloon will overflow at another spot.

Thats right a club suffering from a severe drop in home numbers directly attributed to the reserves issue. It's an issue in motion so there is plenty to see.
Playing devils advocate here but, why would Centrals' numbers be down as they voted no?

Can they take Radio feeds for commentary and then just employ their own team of commentators for streamed games that don't have radio coverage?

maybe, but not necessarily. the sanfl pays for it remember. it costs channel 7 nothing. if the sanfl had the money, why would it have to cease?

I might be wrong, but my guess would be that 7 would lose the interest and/or up their already exorbitant charge to cover the competition minus AFC and PAFC.

That's not to say the reserves haven't done damage to the brand.

we play eachother 3 times for a 21 round season
we play each other home and away and perhaps at a neutral venue as part of a double header to try and make the draw as fair as possible.
Yep with AO being the neutral venue
Would love to see the first round of the year be played as double/triple/quadruple header at AO (maybe over two days) to boost enthusiasm, maybe making it something like a dollar day or gold coin donation day
Allocate sections of the ground to each team to promote there own club with membership booths, membership discounts for people who join on the day etc, clubs could run shuttle buses into the ground for spectators etc
Probably then have to go to a final 4 system but that's not the worse thing.
Move GF back to week after AFL grand final
