Just another example of AFL expansion teams failing as a result of the AFL's ego I agree re: recouping money - but think this is short sighted. The Suns are tracking okay on the gold coast considering the challenges the gold coast market provide for many sporting teams. They do not seem to be anywh...

A little pet peeve of mine is the Suns, who are trying to build on their following and support in a non-traditional market, playing games in Northern Territory. I just don't get this - as to why the AFL would do this. The more games at home the better I feel and this promotional part of the season s...

NRL totally dominant on Kayo. Massive numbers on all Fox platforms for Australia's most watched game!!!!!

When you say Kayo - does this mean foxtel or is that seperate?

These are the clubs listed in Sydney as a whole - they list 3 as in Greater Western Sydney and a few in South West Sydney and Western Sydney???? https://sydneyafl.com.au/find-a-club/ Then there is several divisions it would appear across these. They call AFL the 1% sport in Western Sydney ( its par...

I think the Suns are doing okay. GWS on the other hand - think they need to really focus on endearing themselves to local community. 1. Get rid of the “greater” 2. No home gsmes in Canberra. Could still play in Canberra but as the away team - hawthorn and north could sell their home gsmes instead. ...

breaking down revenue streams is dificult now. revenue/ratings/crowds can be done easy enough

Do you have the ratings for AFL in Darwin compared to NRL?

are there TV ratings for each code from Darwin? Maybe Wookie has some.

I am yet to see anywhere or hear anyone (from NYT) stats rl is the major code in Darwin. Happy to be given a link however to read that does. Regardless - I don’t think it is a viable. Canberra - as Aussie rules has a strong presence and room to grow but still - they would need to get gws out of there.

Think Perth would be pointless re: another team . Not sure what the benefit would be. They are more prohical than Victorians with their footy - but if the philosophy is to put a team into Aussie Rules heartland then I guess why not - but if the plan is to grow the game Canberra is the obvious choice...

About time in Perth. I’d have them come in before PNG -

So can someone list all metrics - ratings, sponsorship money, tv rights deals, crowds etc. would be interesting to know.a table maybe ?

You see - all the reasons you mention as to not put a team in Newcastle are the very reasons I think they should. So we at least agree that AFL is not popular and it is a potential growth area - one of a few limited ones available to the AFL at that. There is no way Perth would have a second team - ...
