Future
The AFL foresees its new expansion clubs on the opposite side of the line becoming stronger and more independent.
In the aftermath of the Super League war, the NRL is very guarded when it comes to expansion for rugby league. Despite this, there are official bids for expansion teams on both sides of the line; in Brisbane, the Central Coast, Rockhampton, Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea and Wellington in New Zealand on the home side, as well as from Perth on the other side. The only NRL club on the non-traditional side of the Barassi Line remains the Melbourne Storm.
