This might sound odd but it's when I hear about Reserves grand finals that I get excited. For clubs to be really stable and well established they need multiple teams with plenty of players. And leagues also need different tiers so new or aging players still have somewhere to get a game. So it's always seemed a great sign to me that Auckland have a Reserves competition.

Not so pleasing is to look further in depth and see that whereas the AAFL was once 6 teams plus several reserves clubs, now it seems to be 4 in Div 1 and 4 in Div 2 with Div 2 being the Reserves. So I wonder what the net effect is? Possibly roughly status quo? Really hoping with the Hawthorn and St Kilda investment in New Zealand that we start to see senior leagues start to grow in the next few years.
