[Stumpy Pete]

Why not merge the lot.
West Coast and Freo
Adelaide and Port
Collingwood and Carlton (wow, wouldn't that be fun)

Etc. etc.

CAAAAAARLINGWOOOOOOOOD!!!!

It's not going to happen.

It's not unlikely as you put out.

 

[thistimeforsure]

Now that's funny.
If you really wanted change, instead of just sooking on here, voting with your feet would tell the AFL how you really feel.

But you keep paying for membership, you keep going to games or keep watching on TV, it seems you don't really care too much.

The old saying of “ if it makes money it makes sense” springs to mind go see where Freo sit on the AFL handout ladder

**** them both off. League should be

WCE and Freo
Crows and Port
Brissy and Syd
Cats and Hawks
Blues and Pies
Tigers and Bombers

Play everyone twice H&A. Pre final bye then 1v4 and 2v3 for GF.

Broadcast rights are getting dearer with Amazon, Apple wanting live contents.

I know you are trolling but why the hell would AFL reduce the revenue stream? More games, more broadcast revenue.

20th team should be a third Perth team, Canberra or Darwin (although it's too hot to play throughout the year).

Merging these two failure clubs would only result in one gigantic embarrassment - terminating both their licences is the way to go.

Let’s put it to a Bay vote - it’s the only way to get a rational conclusion

Never understood why Gold Coast and GWS got teams before Tasmania

No one wants a third WA team.

Freo have been an albatross/embarrassment to WA footy for 3 decades now.

The LA Clippers of Aussie Sports.

I still believe the 20th team should be in New Zealand/Wellington.

Western Sydney is Australia's largest growing population belt. Was absolutely a no brainer bringing them in.

Gold Coast is harder to justify except at least they get decent crowds up there even when they have been poo.

Northern Territory Kangaroos.

Always thought the NT Uluroos has a nice ring to it

Emphasise 'rational'...

Given the Victorian expatriates in GC, it was a right decision. Two QLD teams make sense.

If you think there is no appetite for a third Perth team, that narrows down to Canberra. Affluent population, big enough and will be favoured by the govt for grants.

Canberra is 1/5 the size of Perf and nobody there GAF about footy

Oh no I’ve upset the VFL old guard

pure deflection. North Melbourne have even won more finals and Fremantle in the last 10 seasons.

 

[g_TRAIN]

I mean why don't we just merge Freo and West Coast too while were at it

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

^because they’re more successful than St. Failda

I still believe the 20th team should be in New Zealand/Wellington.

Because this worked so well for every other sport that tried it

NRL has done well with NZ expansion.

Rugby Union isn't dominating like it used to even in NZ.

By that metric the AFL games in Shanghai were a roaring success

The AFL should GAF what rugby is doing in NZ because why?

I never said AFL should move to NZ. It was another poster.

I'm refuting your point that NZ expansion failed for NRL.
