Looks like the number of teams from Canberra will go from 4 to 2 and eventually to 1.

QuoteTwo of Canberra's best-performing teams over the past two seasons are on the verge of withdrawing from next season's NEAFL after the AFL's push to have just one club represent the region caught the clubs off guard.
Queanbeyan look certain to opt out of the second-tier competition for financial reasons, despite being only one year into a three-year contract, while Belconnen are yet to make a final decision, although withdrawal seems the most likely option.

Looks like the AFL is further refining the NEAFL Tabs.  Started last year when they did away with the Northern and Southern conferences and got rid of some Brisbane and Sydney Teams.

yeah but iot will turn into Swans v Lions v Suns v Giants and thats it

Northern Thunder may have something to say about that though.  Couple of other teams doing well too. Aspley Hornets really lifting a bit as well.

I do like the idea of the best players from the canberra teams playing for a central canberra team but when do they represent their teams though?
