    Expansion A third team in Queensland? AFL acknowledges QLD3 as a 20th licence option

    Thanks for your insight. I don’t doubt Brisbane (or Queensland's) growth. It has been and continues to be impressive. And if the new stadium weren't happening, I'd put Brisbane 2 alongside Canberra and Perth in contention for Team 20. But it's just common sense not to add a new team at the...

    Deflect all you want, but if you run off to LU to shit on AFL, you can't be surprised when your opinions on here aren't taken genuinely.

    No offence, but the source says a lot. You're known to mock AFL on LU, so even if you and I are saying the exact same thing, it's going to be taken with a bit of mistrust.

    Expansion A third team in Queensland? AFL acknowledges QLD3 as a 20th licence option

    Biased, yes, but I honestly try to be as balanced as I can in my assessments. And I truly believe that a third Perth team and Canberra are the only viable options for the 20th team (barring some miraculous government investment for the NT). I don't put a second Brisbane team down because I see...

    The SCG's capacity was reduced for a redevelopment.

    Thanks for your input, I0nic. This isn’t as thread about Canberra, but more than happy for the Giants to play 11 home games as soon as they can.

    Expansion A third team in Queensland? AFL acknowledges QLD3 as a 20th licence option

    We both agree that Brisbane isn't ready for a second team in 2026 and that seven years is a long time in footy. We don't know what will happen in seven years, but that's also why Brisbane 2 is such a gamble in that timeframe. The Lions will move into Victoria Park in 2032. We don't know for...

    Expansion A third team in Queensland? AFL acknowledges QLD3 as a 20th licence option

    You point to the Lions' poor performance for the drop in 2011, but conveniently ignore the Lions' current form when banging on about current crowd growth. The Lions are in dynasty only matched by the early 2000s (or possibly to be bettered). The growth of the Lions' current crowds have to be...

    Building for 2026 - The Off field

    Do the doors only open inwards? There could be a platform either side. But regardless, by the time it's lobbied for, agreed upon, designed and built, you'd hope the Giants would have continued to grow and be beyond being able to play games there. They already got 10.5k against the Suns in...

    Kelowna is a cool choice! Hopefully in a smaller city it can drum up a bit of local interest. Could be a great opportunity for the Vernon Roosters to grow.

    Building for 2026 - The Off field

    I know a big complaint of Blacktown is that it's hard to get to, but it's directly next to a train line, just not near a station. Would it be considered accessible enough if a new station was built closer? Rooty Hill Station is more than a 2km walk, but a station could be built just 150m away...

    Expansion A third team in Queensland? AFL acknowledges QLD3 as a 20th licence option

    Why are you always so pessimistic about the Giants, I0nic? They're tracking in the right direction. But three extra games won't bring the average down that much. I actually think it'll have the opposite effect, but that's probably a discussion for another thread. Even if the Giants had...

    Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have? - Part 2

    I already missed out on tickets to the games at Norwood and Lyndoch. Playing the games exclusively at small grounds would make buying tickets like the Hunger Games. Not in the fans' interest.

    Expansion A third team in Queensland? AFL acknowledges QLD3 as a 20th licence option

    You've gone way too deep. I just wanted some recognition that there's at least some cross over between the two markets. I'm "hung up" on it, because it's incredibly important. I can't believe you're being so flippant about it. The fact that you're using those comparisons is also disingenuous...
