You think that adding Perth to the AFL will add $150M to the TV deal?
I suspect including Wellington would add more

Wellington? A small city in NZ which is about a fifth of Perth. I don’t think so.

Btw I don’t think either (or any option really) would recoup $150 million

We get you don’t want a Perth side but don’t be silly.
A Perth team is currently worth basically nothing to channel nine and very little for foxtel

I suspect in ten years time it will be the same

it’s a tiny tv market for nrl and the time zone is bad for local viewers

it’s relying upon viewers in eastern states to watch

The Perth metropolitan region has about 2m or more people.

Western Sydney might have a similar population, but its loyalty is divided between four teams. The annual reports for the Western Sydney clubs prove that the Bulldogs and Tigers generate f**k all from football operations. Parramatta and Penrith earn less from football operations than the Cowboys.

The Cowboys are generating twice as much from football operations than the Tigers and Bulldogs.

Five pm kick off games for an 8 pm game in Sydney

crazy

games will have to be played midday in Perth

It’s a two hour difference not a three hour difference.

I don’t why they would need to play at midday but anyway
