I can't see the Greens winning a third seat in Kurrajong, especially at the expense of the Liberals because Liberal Leader Elizabeth Lee holds that seat (although that would be interesting) and Labors vote is too high to lose their second seat. If I was in the Greens, I would be working hard in...

True, but the Liberals are on the nose in the ACT and have been for a while, their previous leader Alistair Coe was a little too conservative for Canberra and resulted in a swing of almost 3% against them in 2020 and I'm not sure Elizabeth Lee has done enough to reverse the trend, especially as...

Firstly, I'm hurt and insulted that you would call me a no one, at least one person thinks of me as a someone of importance. :) Secondly, I think I would be in the minority, and even if I'm not, I'm sure Canberra's supporter base would continue to grow as the city grows and later generations...

I think the Greens have a better chance of winning the next ACT elections that the Liberals, and they seem happy with the current deal as well.

AFL Team: No, I didn't switch from Parramatta to the Raiders when they entered in 1982 and I won't for the AFL. A-League: I don't support a team in the A-League Men's because I have been waiting for a Canberra team to enter the league, I do support Canberra United in the A-League Women's and...

I'd ignore Sydney as an option for a third team and just combine the Newcastle and the Central Coast areas, there's 850,000+ people in those two markets and while I'm not sure how popular AFL is in those markets, it's growing at around 10-12% every decade so there is a real opportunity for...

I didn't know this, but Newcastle's population is 100,000 less than Canberra's, so technically Canberra as Australia's 7th largest city. But if you include Lake Macquarie and Maitland as part of the Greater Newcastle area then the population is over 500,000 and greater than Canberra/Queanbeyan...

Or they will do what the NRL do and have a number of weeks where 3 or 5 teams have the bye. Whatever they do, they will ensure every team has the same number of byes, and if it works as well as it did the NRL last season they can take their time in deciding if a 20th team is required.

Because once every twenty years we get snow. :)

He is keen to have AFL played here, GWS is just the best option at the moment.

Just like Tasmania.

What a weird thing to say, I don't know any Canberran who would be happy to forgo the opportunity of our having our own AFL team to stay with the current deal with GWS.

Totally agree, but one thing I will say about the neutral population is that a fairly high percentage of the neutrals are from Sub-Continent Countries, and they don't necessarily follow the footy codes, but you do see a lot of them at the Cricket. As well as an AFL team, we should be looking at...

Surely it has to be Canberra, just under 500,000 currently living in Canberra and Queanbeyan and the region is growing rapidly. We have solid support as a large influx of Victorians polluted the city a few decades back :D and a decent ground that requires an upgrade but is still very good, if a...

The Canberra Capitals haven't disappeared at all, in fact they have won nine titles in the last 25 years and made the playoffs again this season. They too have been battling with the ACT Government about a new stadium, or at least upgrades to the current stadium. It was the Cannons that...

Tuggeranong residents are all Hawks and Bulldogs fans. Except me.

I'm not confident that Fitzroy will be the last time we see a relocation of a Melbourne Club, but I am confident that recent Vic Government plans regarding the redevelopment around Arden Street will mean the North Melbourne will no longer be the primary target. As for Canberra, it would have...

As a Ken Behren I would be disgusted to get a relocated team, especially if they are mine.

I'm not sure where exactly, but according to the article below they have assets of over $100 million so I suggest it may be more than pokies. The NRL Economist: Why Redcliffe Dolphins lead the running for new Brisbane NRL club For instance, if the Redcliffe Dolphins are granted entry, their...

I'm about 95% certain Redcliffe will be announced by V'Landy's as Brisbane's second team in the next few months. They have history, they have a sizable supporter base for a QRL club, they have their own stadium and they have money. Plenty of money.

True, not everyone will have an interest in football, but not everyone who moves to Melbourne is interested in football either, but with a growing market there is always opportunities to grow your supporter base. And it's not only Canberra that is growing, nearby towns such as Queanbeyan...

Your elocution confirms that.

Not by as much as you think.

Canberra is expected to grow from around 430,000 this year to 600,000 by the end of the decade. People are moving here in large numbers because the job market is strong, the education system is better than most and it's a great place to live. Now would be a good time to start up an AFL club in...

Melbourne is full of Public Service w***ers as well. More than Canberra.

I actually gave that a go, but I didn't like it as much. Last seasons Swansea City away jersey was one of the best jersey's I've seen, so I tried to emulate it, but the limitation of the website I used didn't allow it. I got a little hooked on designing jersey, I made about sixty last night...

I had a go at some jerseys designs last night. A possible home jersey, incorporating the Blue and Gold that are Canberra's sporting colours with some green to differentiate them from West Coast. And also an away jersey that is predominately gold. I also created some others with colours...

I have to say, I like Canberra United's early jerseys when they wore Dark Green and Black. The Lime Green doesn't look as good.

You won't get a stadium built anywhere near the Mint, I believe there are some heavy restrictions in that area, both environmental and infrastructure. That said, I think there may be some environmental restrictions on the site I was thinking of near the Parkway.

Personally I can't see light rail going any further south than the Commonwealth Bridge, so I don't think it will be relevant unless the stadium is built in the city and there is zero chance of that happening. There are currently two 'R' Series buses travelling on Cotter Road and there is a bus...
