I think the thought process is that it will create more hype which will create more attention and maybe money, but not really sure how it will translate in real terms. Conversely wouldn't Brisbane and GWS doing well be good for the AFL? It would draw more attention/create more fans in NSW and QLD and grow the game there.
I agree.
If it were to come to pass, I imagine marketed as a State v State game could tap into quite a bit of support to get new eyes on the screens across the two states which would benefit both (and AFL growth)...
