    Expansion 3rd Western Australian club

    Has anybody on here who lives in Perth thinks that will the Eagles have to put a cap on their membership eventually. The Dockers are in a totally different scenario at this time and will continue to grow steadily.

    AFL overtaking NRL in QLD

    Can sort of confirm about the South Africans. We have several in our family group. A common comment from them was "Never heard of Rugby League until arriving in Australia. A small sample we know but there it is.

    Who are the shortlisted - Found this posted last month ---- "AFL executives Andrew Dillon and Travis Auld, as well as Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale, are widely seen as the front-runners for the role." Is it correct.

    AFL overtaking NRL in QLD

    Yes I would agree about the rest of QLD being NRL land with a few pockets of our game in the locations you mentioned. You are actually on the ground up there and will have a much better Idea.

    Expansion 3rd Western Australian club

    We have rellies in Armadale which is very slowly changing - Yes I know there is an Aboriginal population there but it appears to be stagnant or in decline.

    Australia Day

    Actually I like Jan 1 1901 as a possible alternative to the current set up. Dont worry there was a lot of haggling to bring that date about - It was not smooth sailing.

    Footy in India

    Off topic but related -Sort off. Just realised the Aussie Women Cricketers are playing a 3 match series against the Pakistan Women, which means something I suppose. Apparently the Pakistan Women playing our game up there wanted to go to the Asian Champs also but no sponsors.
