Tigers and Suns take AFL footy to Cairns

The northern league idea is kinda hamstrung by virtue of the likely inclusion of the various AFL 'reserves' sides - - so, they need a full season with weekly matches.

Otherwise, you could argue the league should be more of a 'premier league' style in some of the overseas style - with a game every 2 or 3 weeks, allowing for a limit on travel and allowing players to return to local leagues in the interim.

However, seeing the continued success of the North Ballarat Roosters in the VFL, that the access for local players to a good standard of effectively rep footy - it's been seemingly very beneficial. Ultimately at local level - in far flung places - if guys can be given a clear pathway then they can play aspirationally as well as competitively and so hopefully that flows back to the local leagues over time. One would hope.
