20th AFL Team

[Angus Young]

SA has a powerhouse club in Norwood ready to hit the ground running. It would ultimately neatly divide support in SA into 1/3’s. The Port-Norwood rivalry would push the Showdown into second billing.
That’s the point of difference over WA3…the disadvantage of lesser population but with a club primed for the national stage.

Again, should of been Port and Norwood from the start.
Two biggest SA clubs in terms of supporters and long history and rivalry.

Then the Camry Crows 3rd license after that.

SA footy would be huge.

Would it?

What's the current split? 55/45 to the Crows?

I can't imagine nearly a third of Port supporters, and 40% of Crows supporters, would peel off to Norwood.

Norwood would have the best bet of the SANFL teams, but I can't see them scooping up a third of support, and even if they could, a third of Adelaide isn't a big catchment.

I would've loved the Redlegs coming in in the '90s, but I think the ship has sailed.
