You could do a north/south split, with the WA, SA and Vic teams in one division and the Qld. and NSW teams in another, but then the Victorians would complain about too much travel (and frankly, so would the South Australians, because they're up themselves  ) and you'd have split up the Sydney/Melbourne rivalry.
Best to leave it as one league, I think. Here in WA our sporting teams have gotten used to travelling a lot. Just having two teams now for a local derby will be a nice change of pace.

Looking forward to it..sorry for the delay as I was moving this past week. I think we may see more of a challengers division form or a subleague. However, I personally see the league growing to about 16 or 18 teams. That leaves six slots. It will be interesting to see where those teams end up.
Will run and post some more the AABL soon and should be into the ABL season later this week.
