they're waiting for Perth Dickhead to cark it before they say yes to a teamFor years now this has been the most obvious expansion strategy, they should really announce now & give them a few years to be ready for start of new tv deal.
Agreed, the AFL is pretty close to maxed out in it's gropwth whilst the NRL is still rebuilding after the SL war and the Gallop years.
The game is still recouping lost revenue and oportunities after Gallop allowed it to run on an oily rag and undersold it for so long.
The commission should be lauded more for the best decision they made which was one of their first, that is disposing of Gallop ASAP,

Roy won't be invited back on Offsiders any time soon.
"We've always preferred AFL."
Yeah, which is why you came in in 1995 and hijacked rugby league for your flagship TV sport which has never been the same since... and not for the better.
I'll celebrate the day the silly old merkin shuffles off his mortal coil.
Any accountant worth his salt will tell you that you can't keep pumping $20 million + a year into ONE Club and the costs will rise as player wages rise, and in this case its TWO Clubs so that's $40 Milion + a year. $40 Million + a year for two clubs and they are not even treading water.The AFL's expansion clubs are also in serious danger of folding if the AFL ever stop pumping insane amounts of money into them.
I keep saying this but both the lions and suns are in for a world of pain when a new Brisbane NRL side comes in. IMO a new Brisbane side is the most aggressive expansion move the NRL could make and would stamp our authority in QLD.
The moment it's announced the AFL will be shitting their pants and will seriously have to consider if they can afford to keep propping up the 2 QLD sides.
The sooner we announce this the better. It's going to be a great thing for our game and we should be looking to get the ball rolling.
Wait for them to announce something on eve of origin, they're pathetically predictable.As we speak Vicky Kicky house is thinking up its latest untruths to seem significant in Australia
There's still time I guess.it's the pigs that usually do that
those merkins love being in the headlines
Some of them will get out their spreadsheets and calculate fumbleball is winning the TV ratings' war.
The Wookie for one.
Interesting the change in scheduling to NRL over 9 control and to not watch the same teams week in week week out has worked.
Go back to your 5 city metros, boy.yeah i mean thats exactly what i did. No wait its not.
Their sheer arrogance blinds them. Sure some clubs have more rusted on fans than others, (or don’t have the power brokers like the Roosters) but there are masses of league fans out there that want to see all the teams and just some friggen variety....including variety of venue. I don’t have fox and have watched heaps more games this year on FTA.Great point, probably one thay has been lost on Ch9 too.
