You could run it year-round I guess, separate winter and summer seasons. It's
quite likely a big part of the target market could do one or the other, but not
both.

I think the other problem is people just don't know about it...

Rec footy on the move

Actually I had wondered whether the drought was an issue when I spoke with the AFL but the feedback was that it wasn't a major factor - sounds like it in fact was.

Difficult to see any major leagues wanting to run Rec Footy in the same season as the main game - too much risk of losing players from the primary sport to the new version. I personally don't think they should run at the same time. To reduce the issue of top players up against rookies etc the best thing will be for the sport to keep growing so that divisions can be used in any given league. You'll always have good players so divisions is the way to go. That's the next step that sports like touch football took in the non-traditional Rugby states.
