    Yeah but sellouts are never max capacity because life gets in the way. Manuka at 20k capacity could very well get 17-18k or more. We just don't know. Ideally, the upgrade happens before 2033 and it can be tested for a few years to see what the crowds are like.

    We've had no indication where they're interested at all, so far, just hints. You make a good point, though, about geographic distinction. Fremantle is distinct from West Coast, Port unique in contrast to Adelaide given how big they were, Gold Coast distinct from Brisbane, and Western Sydney...

    It’s probably going to be Brisbane 2 since the AFL were willing to run at a loss for 20+ years for Western Sydney. Why wouldn’t they do the same for Brisbane? They’d know it won’t work at first, but after 2050 it might start to pay off. The stronger argument against it I think is that the two...

    Would love to see the WAFC get behind it and elevate the Joondalup Falcons and East Perth Royals. Do it next decade while the boomers are still alive and create a rivalry as old as the VFL itself. Have the Falcons play a few games at Arena Joondalup as they’re starting out and the Royals play...

    That’s not Canberra’s ceiling, though. If Manuka gets upgraded to 20k, they could get 17-18k there. Might sell out.

    The Canberra Herders with a big dollar sign as the mascot and Hird coaching. Not bad at all. :P

    I would say the model they’d go for is 8 Brisbane home games and 3 Sunshine Coast home games. SC would be to Brisbane 2 what Canberra is to GWS. The problem is just as the Giants need to go full time Sydney, a second Brisbane side should also go all in on Brisbane when they’re ready. The goal...

    Yeah, if the AFL is willing to sink the money in for 20 years, Brisbane 2 could be a chance. By the 2050s they might pull good crowds. Two teams each in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane is probably appealing to the AFL as a long term goal. It doesn’t have to be next decade but with no...

    Probably about the same but at a 63k stadium that’s a big loss maker.

    I think they’d get 15k plus.

    Are Port starting to turn the corner? I wonder if Carr is starting to get them clicking.

    So Port’s gonna be the Jekyll and Hyde team this season?

    Forgive me for questioning the math but when you have a third Sydney team and 3rd SEQ team ahead of Canberra, then yes, I’ll question it. I think Canberra would get better crowds than a 3rd NSW/QLD club would, especially since Melbourne is close enough for fans to get to the cap.
