Mate, I would've preferred that to.
But the AFL made it very clear that there would be consequences if we accepted Gold Coast over Canberra
I wonder how many Brisbane Lions fans made the journey from Brisbane down to Melbourne for today's match?
As usual, another laughable post from FRA, keep it up!

There are a lot of Brisbane/ex Fitzroy members already in Melbourne fool!
Melbourne = 3.8 million people GC = 500,000 pop so crowds of 17,000 odd are very good for the AFL at Carrara but 10,000 ave crowds for Storm in Melbourne are shit!.
How many of the bogan Bulldogs fans came to Melbourne last monday nights poorly attended (14,000) game at OP

Oh dear. Another bright spark....
The fact that the Brisbane Lions are the bastard-child of a Melbourne club and a Brisbane club does mean that there exists an element of Melbourne based Brisbane Lions support.How this translates into an argument that Brisbane fans travel from Brisbane to Melbourne to watch the Lions play escapes me - but hey, I'm sure it sounded good in your head.
P.S The AFL don't get '17,000' people to watch AFL at Carrara, and have not done so for some time.

If the Roos v Carlton game at Carrara is not a sell-out then I'd be very surprised.
LOL.
It does not matter how many people 'really' turn up - it will be a 'sellout'.
The AFL will make sure of it.

It looks pretty full to me. Not bad for two lower ranked Melbourne clubs.
Footy is strong on the Gold Coast as always.
I agree.
I know I am looking forward to seeing the AFL spend tens of millions of dollars re-fitting Carrara.
How many freebie tickets and $20 'family packs' will the AFL hand out then?

They did not long ago in a practise game, Lions v Essendon I think.

As many as they want to to promote games up there.

They will just continue at it like they have with the Swans. The AFL dont give up on something too hard straight away except with the rules...but anyway thats another thread all together.
A redeveloped Carrara Stadium would be a massive positive for AFL on the Gold Coast, but I think a new team out of the Coast needs to be done not North moving up.
And they should not spend the money to build a 40-50k stadium straight away, just start slow and build up slow. As membership grows and the fan base grows, so will the stadium.

It will be, with all the free and cheap arse tickets they've been handing out.
No. That was 13,269.

No one is suggesting that Aussie Rules is more popular than Rugby League in SE Qld. But is must grate you that two Melbourne based clubs get 11,500 on the Gold Coast.
What would two Sydney Rugby League teams get playing in Geelong? Or in Adelaide. 876?
Aussie Rules might not be the number one sport in Qld, but Aussie Rules has a presence in it's non-heartland areas (NSW and Qld) that Rugby League can only dream about in its non heartland areas.
Do you think 11 Victorians born players will debut in the NRL next year? I ask that because 11 of the 80 drafteees at last years AFL draft were from Queensland.
Rugby League's non-heartland areas have virtually no presence whatsoever.

Would depend on how many freebie/cheap tickets were given out.
