Did you look that up in ur latest edition of encyclopedia Britannica?! Such a try hard thinks looking down on wiki makes you look like an intellectual. Dickhead pretends he's using published papers for forum debate.
Yeah, qld has greater population with bigger economy. If wa is such an advantage for afl why don't they have 9 teams there instead of Melbourne?!
I'll answer question you'll avoid; because per capita means shit & Vic the bigger & more lucrative economy.
I can’t help it if I am more intelligent than you. A factor is having an open mind about things - something that you should learn to do.
So you actually think per capita means shit even though I explained why it is relevant? Are you thick or are you doubling down because you can’t admit defeat?
By your rationale, do you think that Mexico and Brazil have a stronger economy than Ireland and Switzerland for example? Do you think people living there would agree with you? I’m sure they prefer living on $200 per week as opposed to $2000 - $2500 per week
On to your rather laboured analogy about fumbleball. They can do whatever the f*** they want. They could put the next side on the moon for all I care. They have different priorities and advantages/disadvantages to league - even for you that would be obvious. I’m also not suggesting that Melbourne and Sydney don’t have value as they clearly do - nice strawman argument.
However, one thing I’ll add - they are not run by myopic idiots like yourself. They realised the value of every metro market about 30 years ago and planned for it. We have people like you still arguing that as a game we should put a 10th side in Sydney or a fifth side in Queensland (thus saturating markets) instead of realising the commercial value of a team in markets of millions of people.
