Only way a NT teams happens if a brand-new stadium with a roof is built.. state of the art 25-30k capacity. home games split 7-4 or 8-3 between Darwin and Alice.
Should have stayed at 16 with 2 teams at the time in 2011/12 to have relocated.. 1 to Tassie and 1 to West Sydney. 19 and 20 teams way too many but eventually we will get to 20 teams. i think you need to put the 20th team in a footy state. forget the NT.. if you think player retention is bad at...
Split the home games... 6 in Hobart 5 in Launnie.. year after 6 in Launnie 5 in Hobart. Call the Team Tasmania.. you cant call it Hobart or Launceston cos then you divide the two.
"Brisbane Bears-Fitzroy Football Club Limited, Trading as Brisbane Lions Australian Football Club[1]"
The "merger" did happen.. even though it was more of a take over/excuse to cull a team.
but yes I see where you are coming from.
What would be awesome would be to break up the "merger" between Brisbane & Fitzroy.
Put Fitzroy back into Victoria and the Bears back into Brisbane :)
Then merge Brisbane & the Gold coast!
Relocate North Melb to Tassie.
Build a boutique stadium at Princes park 30K capacity.
Is there a small possibility that one day that this ground will be turned into a smaller boutique stadium? I still think Melb is short of one ground. renovate it, bring the capacity up to 30K and have teams such as Bulldogs, Melb, Carlton and maybe a couple of others play their smaller drawing...
Small supporter base, no success, No home. its shame. when you see how the AFL all these years later pump money into clubs outside the AFL heartland... its a slap in the face.
All those poor Fitzroy fans that are now lost to footy.
Yes! the afl has $hitloads of cash to fund it.
they need a full blown reserves comp. each game to be played as the curtain raiser to finish a hour or 1 hour and 20 mins before the start of the main game so teams can get out there for their pre game warm ups.
Reserves finals to be played at...
Places like Tassie and The NT are out of the question.. no young bloke would want to live in places like that. Doesn't suit the lifestyle of a bloke 18-30, as soon as their contacts are up they will request a trade.
There are two too many teams in the comp as it is.
AFL should have relocated Fitzroy back in the day to Tassie. Only way it would work is to relocate a team. cant start from scratch. comp already has too many teams.
