The only strong sport there is afl
plus their base is in Melbourne so the travel times are less and it’s the middle of their heartlands
the other sports there have all struggled big time
Perth is five hours from the rugby league centre with no infrastructure or other league teams nearby
we might as well put an nrl team on the moon
AFL they have a very strong state League so the fringe guys can still play at a decent level.
NBL is squads of 15 so costs are down.
The A League side must be burning so much money, probably why they added those new teams that no one wanted.
So it is a good conversation to have
