Can’t have a national competition without Adelaide

Overheard a bloke in a “Suns” jacket the other day talking up AFL (expected), and the possibility of NT getting a team.

I got a look of disdain and ignored when I threw a “Go the Dragons” in.

As a fellow Dragons supporter, even most of our own supporters look at us in disdain

Surely a team in Canberra would be the better option.

Makes a lot of sense - if they're putting Tasmania in as team 19, they'll want something far more bank-able for team 20 to balance the risk of a small market in Tasmania. Which likely means Canberra or a 3rd WA club.

Perth is a bigger population but could eat into existing clubs, while although Canberra is smaller it means the Giants can focus on being solely a 2nd Sydney team.

AFL will almost certainly go to Canberra next.

Surely only wbtiktok would give a f**k.

YES! That's the great scenario - and once we get to 24 teams, we can have an "everyone plays everyone once" fair schedule of 23 rounds, probably with a 5 or 6-week playoff system & maybe even clear window for origin/rep footy.
