As a basketball fan, I think this is truly remarkable.

Problem is the tens of millions of dollars that would be needed to bring Moorabbin up to the standard of Ballarat or Wellington. In Melbourne, the AFL would expect that. They wouldn't allow it at an Alice Springs like standard. And even that might require a few mil.

There was also the NZ experiment which went well crowd wise in year 1, poorly in year 2 and dismally in year 3, then got cancelled I'd love St Kilda to have a separate ground where they play 2 or 3 games a year like others do with Ballarat, or Hobart, or Launceston. (Alice is probably too far...

Why though? Melbourne has consistently been the fastest growing city in Australia over the past 20 years, and that's forecast to continue. We'll overtake Sydney as biggest city within 5 years. Why would the AFL chop or relocate clubs with long history and community connections, 40,000+ members...

I see an inconsistency here. So one minute you're arguing a business case, next minute you're arguing for the "collective mindset", whilst ignoring the collective mindset around pre- existing clubs with 100+ years of history. So if the business case is around the Tassie economy- not the...

A couple of points that haven't been covered - Interest rates are low. They can't get much lower! A good time to have a big debt, apart from Covid of course but things are looking good on that front - The AFL will do everything in its power to avoid relocation for any club. No chance they...
