Not relevant, because there are more AFL clubs so you can't go with multiple divisions as it's not practical. With less clubs you have to and that's actually a bad thing, not a good thing.

:_<> :_<> :_<>
who give a frogs crap how many clubs there are
its the numb of kids playing the game you half witted *********
ie
2 VFL clubs field one side each in the U14's
1 RL club fields 3 sides in the U14's
Who said anything about VFL playing in Canberra? Point me to where Box Hill play in Canberra!
Anyway you want to make that sort of comparison? You can't, because it doesn't work. There are more clubs playing AFL than there are playing rugby league which creates more opportunities. It's much harder to get a game in rugby league with such a restrictive set up. No wonder kids are running to AFL to get their sporting fix.
And you can't stand it because it's true. There are less players in a rugby league team than there is in an AFL team. That's why club numbers are relevant as well.
& this illiterate ... dumb as bat shit ... fumbling fool repeats the same tripe

again
who cares about the numb of clubs

>
if an RL club has 11 age groups in it ... & 3 sides in each age group
it has more teams & players then
2 VFL clubs that field sides in 8 age groups with 1 side in each
thats the 1 RL club with 33 teams & about 600 kids ( about 18 per team ) registrations go up to 20 for a minor league team in Canberra
the 2 VFL clubs have 16 teams & 400 kids ( about 25 per team )
thats as clear as it can get
