  1. A-league expansion

    in Australian Football

    Quick summary: at this point, all a second tier league with P/R would do is sent teams to the wall financially; so we aren't looking at doing that any time soon (not till football as a whole is in a stronger position). We want to expand were we'll get new fans and impress sponsors/broadcasters

    “If you try and boil it down simply it’s about somewhere that can be sustainable in its own location and in its own financial position but importantly also we’ve got to look for franchises that will grow the overall pie.

    "That means being attractive to broadcasters and our national sponsors and making sure that that we are not slicing up the same pie more ways.”

    Surely the Metro Melbourne is too crowded already to be considered, its not like MV and us are bringing in the greatest numbers...

    The wise move IMO as Geelong AFL Supporter and Urban Planner would have to be Geelong in terms of New Team that would have both its own Separate Feeling of Place and with the current and planned growth to come in that Region shortly. 

    I can't see another Melbourne team actually happening until/if a promotion/relegation system is introduced; but if one was to happen, they'd most likely be wanting to use AAMI

    Haven't watched it and based on the above might never, but do people think Ange made the same mistake as Arnold at the Asian cup? Picked the best players but not the best players in those conditions. 3 midfielders based in the U.K. Looks like trouble.

    the channel 9 guys made mention of how many euro based players we ran last night and how they struggled with the climate...they did seem to think that the match was mismanaged with a general theme of "this is a game we should not have lost, even with the Thai's playing better than usual" throughout the post match discussion....

    I also don't understand how the left has got the LGBTQ crowd so hyped up over Trump like they'd all be sent to concentration camps under him, he's probably the most queer friendly republican ever.

    Apparently his VP candidate is one of the least queer friendly republicans (to the point of directly funding "conversion therapy")

    I wouldnt be surprised to see a name change of Etihad now that the AFL owns it.

    Etihad, the AFL and the management team of docklands stadium have all confirmed that the current naming-rights contract isn't going to be affected by the change in stadium ownership
