"AFL Victoria said last month the competition was under review owing to “cost pressures on clubs, scheduling difficulties, pressure on staff and volunteers given the scheduling difficulties, player recruitment, relationships with community clubs and leagues and how to best ensure the senior team can be competitive’’.

Not sure what effect this move will have. VFL 2s, not every side has one.

Why would you have a reserves reserves?

They should increase the number of rookies on an AFL list to about 10 to 15 so that all players in the reserves can get promoted and play in the seniors if good enough. Pay them rookie wages until they get promoted. Or divide the list into a main and reserves list allowing unlimited promotions during the year.
