20th AFL Team - Expansion

[leeroy*NRL*]

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 given the solid base there and room to grow the game more - otherwise I think going into somewhere where the game needs to grow is the go.

agreed if i were they AFL and they were staying at 20 teams for the long future

i would be backing Canberra
N.T is a pipe dream it is just not viable.

ACT as a whole is growing and would be a great asset to have and be represented

you're going there are you ?

7,036 tuned up to watch the fumbles & bumbles last night

7,036 on a fine warm night ..

11,094 turned up for the NRL a month ago
more then 50% more

why

because Darwin is an NRL town these days

but by all means
locate another team to a city we're youre a distant 2nd at best behind the NRL
Sydney
Brisbane
Gold Coast
Canberra

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.

the eels have outdrawn just about every afl crowd in darwin in the 9 years they've been going there
Darwin is an NRL town now
too small for both codes

Canberras support for the drops n giggles is well.... unimpressive.. at best , ex pats & fumbleball folk from the riverina only
The Raiders run our capital city
again as a market its too small & has too many established teams to be viable
