Agree in principle
It gives the fans of traditional clubs a club to support while allowing the game to spread into new areas e.g. Perth, more Brisbane/Queensland/NZ teams
Big, well run clubs will go well in the elite league with modern stadiums and big crowds while small minded clubs will wallow in the lower league where their hard core fans can get together on their dirt hills and talk about the glory days.
If the small minded clubs get decent people running things then they can go up to the elite league in a few years
