To be successful, there are a few models Football Australia should look at, 1) they did the right thing and cap teams between Melbourne & Sydney. This will generate interest, when people go to the office on Monday they can talk about how their team Sydney North East (insert exciting name here), beat your team (Sydney North), it's not as exciting talking about Sydney beating Townsville (which was the Rugby model we followed when we made A-League). Football teams have history & culture which generate passion not licences and brands. 2) We have to be a development league, there is no doubt about it, the Australian professional sport market is over saturated. Football should be higher but other codes identified that and saw a rise of their sport meant a demise of Association Football. We are in a unique position in compared to any other code in Australia and that is our ability to consistently generate revenue from player sales. Right now it might only be the odd $500-$600k (maybe 3-5 times a year) however, by embracing youth development and demonstrating quality of Australian youth products, we can see football succeed. My dream is to be a production factory like England, which through the City Group, but previously was Chelsea, they produce a conga line of players. Also this means the FA have to lobby for easy pathways into the English the EU football system.
The part of it I can’t begin to fathom is that football stopped being a sport a few decades ago and became a business and in some parts of the world very big business. A second division with all the associated costs will surely just be cost, and more cost; have club owners really got such deep pockets and can afford and want to keep dipping into them? It seems unlikely that it will be a national second division and when you have a top tier that is basically franchised out and is a closed shop, how can this 3D jigsaw piece together?

Great to hear your insight boys. I really hope the NST is successful as this will eventually benefit football in this country.

Gold Coast United & Hobart would be great additions to the second tier
Would love to see those clubs in the comp
@@ALeagueCouchCritics Gold Coast have nowhere to play, there current ground is not allowed to host NPL Finals
Devonport
Love the preston top mate, your more than welcome at one our games any time, get you some tasty kebapi too 🇲🇰 😝
Next time I’m in Melbourne, I’d love to go
Why is there’s no teams from Western Australia is there a Melbourne Sydney bias to this.

Yeah running a football club is mostly losing money. But there's passion too
Outer northern suburbs Melbourne has potential but not enough big clubs.
Morewell Falcons ❤
Should of done a regional/interstate third teir before the national second teir in hindsight.
Not sure you can have a third without a second??
I just love the name Woollongong Wolves !
we were the NSL champs back in the day
It's a banger... although don't think there's many wolves around Wollongong
What about South Australia?
No clubs from there feel confident toakr the leap
Adelaide city probably would be the biggest profile club but not keen as far as we know
While Sydney United are in NSD I hope it fails
Look, there's issues... but think about the rest of the good this could do
