58, can't see the good mature WAFL players jumping ship to play in the VFL TBH......seems like a good opportunity for the under 22 player, though can see a lot of rinse and repeat of delisted players doing the rounds to make up the numbers.

I guess the other thing to take into account is that all of this is based on a Brad Hardie rumour. I'm not suggesting he's wrong but I don't recall him winning a Pulitzer Prize for excellence in journalism either. It would be an extremely expensive exercise for the clubs and AFL to have a standalone reserves comp.

True it is only a BH story, but I don't think money is an object, they are flying around that circus act to empty grounds around the nation that is the AFLW without anyone mentioning a thing about cost, cost won't hold up a reserves comp. And I reckon the squads will increase to allow for it.

Long term I think it suits all parties better.

This takes me back to a former theme of selling the AFL licences and the WAFL going its own way.

Pity it is only a rumour. Got my hopes up for a while.
