most likely that AFL fund GC to the tune of ($34.8m) in 2024 (they have a right in where they play) ?

They fund them that much for a reason - purely to grow the game in the Gold Coast region - playing home games away from the Gold Coast I feel is counter-intuitive to that that. That the spend so much money is actually the arguement why they should not play home games away.

got the AFL the record broadcast deal when PVL had his arse laughed out of the office when it came to organising the deal!
AFL bringing in record revenue and funding there own expansion teams when the NRL wont.

the only thing hilatious about both codes is PVL him self

True - the AFL decide - still think it’s a dumb decision to play home games away from the area you want the te to be one embedded.

100% agree, if i were the AFL everything Suns did or were involved is everything
GOLD COAST into the Scenic Rim AND NORTHERN RIVERS>
literally along the path of what exactly the Titans do

i would be leaving NT and Darwin in particular to a Low drawing Victorian team

In the not too distant future North Melbourne and Hawthorn will be looking for another home away from home as the fly in fly out Tasmania deal becomes redundant.
Darwin is the best option for these two teams to consider.
The Sun's need to stay home and play all their home games locally.
