...6-7 games in each host state, adding up to 19 games, is what he said. 19 games in a 19-team comp means every team plays twice, nothing impossible about that. The key relevant point here is that QLD arguably has better 2nd and 3rd venue options than most other states, not to mention better...

Apparently that would be at the SCG and next door's Showring Oval (already being upgraded to a ~10k venue). Around Easter to somewhat rectify how long the Giants are always away from NSW at this time of the year. Think it just means Easter school holidays, like what the current Gather Round is...

Yikes, prescient comment. Spot the missing state: New name for the QLD Premier is Stevie Wonder if he can't see the writing on the wall.

It's not a good case study at all. A BBL final at Carrara won't need Brisbanites to travel because the Gold Coast locals will turn up to support their de facto team, which is obviously completely different to the AFL dynamic.

I understand that funding for, say, the Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre in 2029 isn't going to magically morph into funding Car-rara parking for football fans in 2025. Therein lies your suggestion's massive flaw. The Qld govt is attempting to palm off a big chunk of the bill for the...

I don't doubt Annastacia Puddingguts' eating ability. But it seems to me that if we're worried about the AFL and cricket looking greedy, your alternate proposal of asking for another $45m to upgrade Carrara is just as problematic. The upgrades absolutely are all related (short of the new...

So if the BCC, AFL, cricket etc don't stump up the cash to get to the $137m, no redevelopment of the showgrounds takes place, and the Olympics' equestrian events will just be held in Stockholm? Yeahhh didn't think so. Only one mob is playing politics, and their position is not as strong as you...

Bland at the MCG, where the permanent pitches were even worse. And they've particularly improved in the last few years anyway. Certainly not bland at Optus Stadium, which has just as much pace and bounce (if not more) than the WACA. Adelaide Oval was a batting paradise, still pretty much is...

No AFLW player is contracted for the 2023 season yet. Last year the league told clubs that they can make informal deals/commitments beyond 2022 with players if desired, but nothing in the way of a binding multi-year Standard Playing Agreement would be able to be signed until the next trade...

Impression I get is finals at the Gabba are possible*, but that'll probably only happen in the case of: a) a semi and/or prelim that coincides with a men's home game (enabling a double-header, like last season), or b) the grand final. *for one more year, won't be the case in the future when...

Getting away from the point slightly, but... if the modern pentathlon could be held at the main stadium, there'd be no need to use Springfield. For these past Games, it was held predominantly at Tokyo Stadium (sounds like it'd be the main stadium, but no) which does hold 50k, though I suspect...

Can only fit a 110m x 140m oval, smaller than the Exhibition Ground which wasn't deemed big enough for AFLW.

Well it's already the same width as the MCG, and only about 4m shorter. But given it has to initially fit a running track, there will probably be all kinds of opportunities to change the dimensions of the ground.

Everybody knows Brisbane took their foot off the pedal in Round 7 when they basically had nothing to play for. Still, that match ended in a draw, to be fair to Carlton, so call it a 50% success rate against them I reckon.

I think I would be more receptive to what Kevin Mitchell Jr has to say if not for his antics during the last Gabba test. "Rain is forecast two hours from now? Make way, you irrelevant players. K-Mitch and his #groundsquad are here to save the day!" Further to that, to name just a few, beyond...
