20th AFL Team - Expansion

Post by Beaussie »

I like the idea of a northern Australia club based out of the NT and playing games in Darwin, Alice Springs and North Queensland.

But what about Canberra? This multi sports stadium proposal looks nice.

there will be no multi purpose stadium in Canberra
the ridiculous idea is being shredded by locals

Barr said the ACT can't afford to build a rectangular stadium .. not enough money , been saying this for 20 years

any suggestion that the ACT could now find ... 50% more .. money to build an inferior shit multi purpose stadium that pleases no one is beyond ridiculous
Barr is a twat , a fumbelball fan & he is on the way out with Canberrans having enough of him & his hypocrisy

a 30K seat indoor stadium for the 3 rectangular sports is the plan
& the only plan

Albo & Vlandys are good mates
the NRL will get what it wants

Will absolutely not happen…complete crap reporting..other directors will not vote for it…because they may be next.
And it makes no money for the AFL…will not happen.
20th side, then 21, then 22 and then they will stop.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.
Rugby league, Australias most popular game in some of North Eastern Australia.

Need more players - WA not producing any next year they think - and whilst there are many players eniinating from QLD for no players to be coming from a heartland state is a concern.
