alian62 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) So with this annoucement i have created a Second Tier for the A-League . I have Chosen what i think will be Australias second tier clubs from the Association of Australian Football Clubs ( AAFC ) to which those clubs belong . Clubs chosen are a mixture of clubs that asked for as licence to join the A-League back in 2020 and past NSL Clubs who are enjoying success in the National Premier Leagues ( NPL ) . They are good strong clubs in their respected leagues with many titles and history . Changes to the A-League as well to open up the competition , No Wage cap , or restrictions and more prize money . No finals just first team wins. Under 21 Competition https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4cnnsitvlfavx/Australia+2nd+Tier All Teams include Logos and Kits with 2 Relegated and 2 promoted with 10th vs 3rd playoff . Australia Cup commences at the end of the year . The 13 Team League Clubs are as follows Adelaide City Apia Leichhardt Canberra Croatia... Now ( Canberra FC ) Gold Coast United Marconi Stallions Melbourne Knights Pennisular Power Perth SC South Melbourne Sunshine Coast Sydney Olympic Sydney United Wollongong Wolves https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4cnnsitvlfavx/Australia+2nd+Tier Construced feedback welcome Edited February 12, 2023 by alian62 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown6 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I love the idea, especially with the new announcement by the AFF. I just have a few questions. 1. With the A-League (Division 1) will this just be an Under 21 division or will there be a reserve league for the two divisions as it was not state too clearly. 2. What’s the Asian continental qualification be set up as, considering there is no grand final? 3. What’s the season format (dates) and is it just play everyone twice? I would say keep in the grand final competition as it is a fun thing to have. The top team get ACL spot while winner of the Grand final also gets a ACL (if it is not the winner of the league stage) Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiry Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Good work, saves me making one myself. Any reason why it is 13 clubs instead of 12 or 14? Although as ideal it would be I don't see a Perth team entering (yet) and I would put Gold Coast Knights instead of United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess was a U21s Considering i dont have a grand Final its the top 2 that qualify I dont like finals . My thinking is if you played all year and finish on top then your the best . Fancy not losing all year and finish on top to then just drop 1 game in the finals and not be crowned the best ? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i have heard there are 2 teams from WA that want to amalgamate to form 1 team to join . I guess though until they annouce anything more we wont know . I chose 13 because they were the best from the list of AFF teams . The ones left out were never part of the old NSL or really have made an impact in there respected leagues . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbrown6 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 will the new update also accommodate the new expansion to the a-league with a team from Canberra (probably Canberra united) and Auckland for the 2024/2025 season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vakama2619 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Apparently the 10 teams competing in the second division were leaked yesterday. Majority of the reddit comments seem to hate it being a NSL 2.0 and the inclusion of Sydney Fascists 58. Personally I have no problem with ex NSL clubs coming back, although I dislike 58's inclusion Edited November 1, 2023 by Vakama2619 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vakama2619 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 What bugs me is that it's going to be run on the calendar year schedule, they gotta switch one of them around (I'd personally move the AL to Calendar year) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A state with approx 500,000 people whos main sport is Australian Rules not Football is just going to struggle . Attendance figures are that of a amatuer league or less . But we will wait and see i guess 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alian62 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 I wasnt far off the mark with picking 6 of the eight chosen so far . Would like to now see Melbourne Knights and maybe an Adelaide team like Adelaide City . Perth didnt bid because the structure here is pathetic anyway with no real stadium to use .

Who from queensland was in urs again. I was hoping to see some from here picked but nothing yet, that'll go down to FQ's antics in refusing to let their clubs join. Adelaide City would be a good shout for the NSD, I believe Melbourne Knights pulled out for financial reasons but not too sure on that, although we already have too many fascist owned clubs in the NSD so I hope they aren't added Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
