That’s defiantly where they should put the cameras during games and not do any other angles

Fortunately the main cameras are on the inadequate west side looking at this glorious east stand most of the game.

Perfect for trial games if the WA Gov stump up travel costs. Or maybe another Nines comp at this dinky ground?

I thought they couldn’t build on the east side of WIN as it was all sand dunes

Fallacy. There’s other buildings along the seafront there as close to the beach that would require stringer foundations. Dubai literally builds whole villages on sand isalnds in the ocean lol

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

As you can see, the town of Perth was built on sand dunes.

Just requires foundations to be sunk significantly deeper, which means it’s much more expensive.

Most of perth actually is built on sand, my house by the beach certainly is. Costs me a fortune in soil Improver.

Nah. They didn't use any straw on Tatooine. At least, not for roofing.

So the vast majority of afl fans follow a team not a sport but Canberra doesn’t have an afl team …..

So how can they be afl fans ?

LOL, are you serious?

Again, based on what? Your opinion?

Based on decades of living here, a decent knowledge of Canberra's history, and data that's comparable and isn't corrupted by including samples from the surrounding regions of NSW like you insist on doing even if you don't realise it.

Data is easy to find. Opinion prevails apparently as far as the GD is concerned. Facts are irrelevant.

Too bad you failed to find it. . .

There're 12 AR clubs and 11 RL clubs in Canberra (it could be argued that 4 of those RL clubs are only 1 in fact, but I'm being generous).

There're 202 AR teams and 205 RL teams. That's a recent phenomena that's only changed in the last year. Before this year AR had slightly more teams than RL, but that number pretty regularly yo-yos and will continue to do so going forward.

Playing numbers for Canberra/ACT alone aren't reported by either sport, and I couldn't be bothered to go through and counting up the players in each team in each age group. We would have had to assume that they all had full squads, so the number would have been inaccurate anyway. However there are 22 players in an average AR team and only 17 in a RL team, and AR junior sides have more players than RL also. So yeah, we don't need the exact number, it's a fait accompli...

BTW, those numbers don't include school comps. I can't find any reliable data on school comp numbers for teams just from Canberra/ACT for either sport, however AR is popular in the private school system in Canberra where RL has no presence whatsoever, so it's more than safe to assume that there're more school AR teams than RL and that's definitely my anecdotal experience as well.

The tl;dr is that the participation numbers show pretty much exactly what I said they would.

Aside from not knowing that RL had 3 more teams than AR for the first time in a while this year (you can thank the recent boom in women's RL for that), there're more AR clubs and players in Canberra, and both sports are really close in size. There's almost nothing in it, just like I said there'd be.

You can consider the new rectangular stadium in Canberra officially dead and buried-

New Canberra Stadium independent of ACT Brumbies' fate: Canberra Raiders

ACT Brumbies and government team up to fight Rugby Australia centralisation

Chief Minister Andrew Barr outlines Big Bash vision Manuka Oval

They say all the bad news you'd expect.

The government is linking the viability of the new rectangular stadium to the Brumbies, who are completely f**ked, and spruiking further upgrades to Manuka under the auspices of attracting more cricket, hopefully even a BBL team, but really it's so the city is prepared to make a run at the 20th AFL licence even if they left it unspoken.

How you can be happy with that dump is beyond me?

It's the 21st century mate, not the 19th century. Your beloved AFL is living the dream in the 21st century, Don't you think it's time that Cinderella was invited to the ball?

All behind a paywall dickhead!

So let me get this right as his longwinded posts are 97% incoherent.

The Great Dope doesn't count the NSW areas immediately surrounding ACT in his decades long observations. So Queanbeyan for example doesn't count in Basement Bill's so called data? Laughable.
