In 20 years money will print itself. Meanwhile East Coast and Canberra in particular will continue to self destruct

no it won't canberra will do well the gws deal has proven that, its time to give the captial city its own team should have happened a long time ago, instead of the most isolated place in aus full of alcoholic drugos on welfare (mods sorry if i steped the line there it is true though)

What are you talking about? Canberra is growing incredibly quickly. Its case only gets stronger and stronger.

Whereas climate change will make the northern cities a riskier prospect as time goes on, and probably limit population growth.

Does the mooted North Melbourne deal to play 2 additional games in WA, increase the chances of WA3 as team 20? Or does it decrease their chances, with the AFL content with having the 2 existing WA teams and supplementing by having Victorian teams selling a couple of additional “home” games to WA?

Under a deal currently being negotiated, West Coast or Fremantle will play North Melbourne in Bunbury — the first home and away season games to be played outside of Perth.

Could be testing the waters, but it also negates a lot of the need for a new team.

Reduces travel for WA teams; increases content; but doesn't dilute the West Coast v Freo rivalry. This move has the benefits of a third team, without having to set up a third team.
