Will International footy reshape Australian Football?

I think the T20 comparison is a good one. 9 a side is fast and furious as you don't get a rest because you're never more than a kick from the action. Why not develop different variants of the sport like cricket? There's no reason why 9 a side and 18 a side can't survive in the same towns/leagues, just like cricket has test matches, one dayers and T20s.
