Re: 20th AFL Team - Expansion

the AFL would rather LOSE 30million a year than pull the Giants.. and why they can afford it they will continue to do so.. Logistically AFL only have a few options of expansion Bunbury / Busselton as 1 team Darwin Canberra All small regional bases. Canberra looks the winner Canberra the obvious - b...

Re: 20th AFL Team - Expansion

Agree that rl has many options for expansion . The pros for AFL I believe is they have a strong presence across the nation whereas rl still lacks any major grassroots presence outside the traditional areas. I think this why the afl targeted western Sydney - as no presence hardly at all - and have fa...

Re: Footy Crowds - 2024

Its not often I defend the fumbling game but I think this attendance is something of an outlier. It was between a Melb team coming last and an Adelaide team under performing. Neither side would have much of a following in little Tassie. Once a Tassie side enters the comp (if it ever does) the local...

Re: 20th AFL Team - Expansion

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.

Re: AFL ANZAC DAY - Got My Tickets.

Was a great day - actually whole week was amazing - father son bonding time. The game was great of course - the lunch before hand at AIA training centre, the darn service in the morning at the shrine. And Melvourne even turned on the weather - no rain and sunshine (and still cold but in a nice, tug ...

Re: Footy Crowds - 2024

the crowd in Tassie was a real eye opener perfect weather but a crowd that would of embarrassed the A league , i think this is what the future holds when the novelty wears off after 5 years with an under performing team in a small city struggles. no wonder the AFL was adamant they didn't want a tea...

Re: Footy Crowds - 2024

Geez - maybe taking games away from Tassie now they are getting a team - under 5000 is extremely low - obviously they are now waiting for “their” team - which you can’t blame them but still - that’s a crap crowd. And the Suns - watch a bit at Crown sports bar today - ordinary game and crown sucks so...
