WTF would AFL continue to fund an irrelevant third tier comp does it live stream A grade Ams? in the future when it will be live streaming the reserves comp and perhaps the colts development levels ?

The WAFL, SANFL and VFL are the feeding grounds for the AFL. Always have been always will be. Yes most come through U/18's but they still want to see the mature age ones to find the next Tim Kelly, Matt Pridis types. Why do you think they are streaming them now? Because they want to provide a service for WAFL fans? Lol. 

They are streaming it because they have a mid season draft mate they saw Jaiden Hunter from my club pop up kicking goals then sent scouts to watch his third league game against your mob at Fremantle Oval. Jaiden kicks 5 we win the match happy days for Jaiden and Essendon, game over for us right there.

The real good U/18's get promoted to play league games too remember.

They won't be "feeding grounds" for much longer any talent will be sucked up into the next tier replacing whatever role they have left now, that's what will be covered.

I doubt that, there is already effectively a defacto reserves comp operating so we are only talking about potentially the Perth and Adelaide clubs joining a reserves comp. 

How many WAFL players will be able to commit to the travel requirements and training flexibility WAFL clubs can offer? It will be a big drain on the AFL who are already under the pump money wise meeting women's football demands which doesn't even pay for itself.

I see the second tier comps thriving.

Unlike WAFL, AFL has money to burn,  second tier comps thriving ??? - you mean the AFL 2nd tier ...WAFL and SANFL will be third.
