Nick Maxwell's Champions League
Has anyone checked out Collingwood player Nick Maxwell's idea about the New AFL Season where there would be a Champions League and a normal premiership. I think it sounds awesome. Would be quality if it actually occurred.

Terrible idea. The 8 non-afl teams would be eliminated in the first week and then it would just become a distraction from the real games.
The Champions League idea he is stealing from European Soccer works because its the best teams from all of the leagues......this would just be a strange parallel to the premiership season and would kill the momentum of teams from game to game.

It would be made up of 32 teams in total and would include all 18 AFL sides, the top four VFL and SANFL clubs from the previous season, both grand finalists from the WAFL and the reigning premiers from the Queensland, Sydney, Northern Territory and Tasmanian state leagues

Robert Harvey- Simply the best
I love it, Far to imaginative for the AFL to consider but would be a great spectacle IMO. Especially the first round where you could schedule some big name sides to play on suburban grounds, Imagine the crowd at Alberton to see the PA Magpies take on Collingwood.
All Rookie listed players should be allowed to be selected for Champions League games.
All it needs is a big Sponsor to put say 5 million dollars on the table and it could work.

Maybe this year?

How about promotion and relegation? Say top 2 teams from WAFL, SANFL and VFL play a round robin for one or two spots in the AFL. Would this also stop tanking as yes you would get a great draft pick, however you play in a lower league and would prob lose many other players. And if free agency came in then the upcoming teams can recruit also.
Yes its a silly idea and it's probably a little extreme but hey would spice things up.

I quite like it because it would be interesting and a bit different, but it would probably not practically work.
My idea to solve the fixture would be to extend the season to 25 and 26 rounds and scrap the NAB Cup, but I guess they could still have it also. One season would be 25 rounds where you play every team once and 8 teams twice while the following year it would be 26 rounds in which you play every team once and the other 9 teams twice. Then ideally, you could have a VIC vs. Dreamteam game every 2nd year when the season is 25 rounds.
