Most of those clubs are ethnically based so it’s essentially NSL 2.0.
I dont care too much about that but the recent garbage from SU58 should have ruled them out.

Well der. There's very few big clubs that aren't ethnically rooted.for mine whatever, as long as there's no path to AL.

Forgetting what anyone may think about the proposed participants I think the concept is right - as is the Champions League tier from the NPL as a forerunner to a National Third Tier Conference League.
While we all what a team to support what the FA is after is developing players for the National teams. i.e. more players (especially young players) playing longer. JJ mentioned loan deals between the ALM and the NST which may be an interim answer.
GA wants us to be playing 10 months a year. If that is to happen I think we really need to align closer to the rest of the football pyramid. That means around a minimum of 40 games.
Assuming you have 16 teams in both the ALM and NST you would have a minimum of 30 rounds. You then have a at least one game for the Australia Cup and then maybe you can have a League Cup with the ALM and NST teams plus maybe the NPL Federations Premier.
That would give a minimum of 32 games.
The better teams would have access to 30 games, an additional 3 games of finals, up to 5 games for the Australia Cup, up to 5 games for a League Cup and at least 6 Asian games.
So the better performing clubs would have access to a potential of minimum of 49 games with the potential of more Asian games. TBH that would be almost impossible to fit in our current mid-October - beginning of June window. A February to November calendar would allow the finals to be played including the Australia Cup Semis and Finals could all be be played at night during the mid October to mid-late November period and we could avoid worst of the heatwave weather followed by a break for December and January. Yes it will still be hot in February and March but we already play then anyway.

Fancy that ay. A seperate organisation to one with financial issues doing their own thing with their own money. Who'd have thunk it.
Murdoch are so fkn dumb. My god.
Murdoch and his henchmen have no interest in our football now that Foxtel is no longer involved.Would like the A League and the NST to fall over so though they are run by separate organisations they have bundled them together to give the impression that football is failing.
