Considering most of the seabl teams are in Melbourne, I’d barely say travelling about five weekends a season would be a big factor. A lot of the time Ballarat and Bendigo are trips too
SEABL should be moved to align with NBL. Local SEABL players could then continue playing Big V / SCM over winter. Clubs that run both SEABL and Big V Teams such as Geelong could spread the cost and the volunteer work load over the year. This also allows us die hard supporters to attend both Leagues. Win Win
While I think this would be a good move in the long run for the quality of the 'SCM' league or whatever it winds up becoming. It would take a pretty significant short term hit. There would be a significant loss of the more mature talent who are good players but not interested in the weekend travel to compete in the SEABL competition. Due to family or work commitments etc.
