Yeah, I lived in Townsville for 7 years. Played footy there too. Night games are tricky sure, but day games are fine to play in IMO. Its not that big of a deal surely.Do you realise that Melbourne is the same distance from Brisbane that Townsville is?
They are going to struggle in NEAFL if they are granted a license so it's a long way off. The problem I also see it that teams don't want to play during the day as its too hot but it's really dewy even in Brisbane at night. Makes for a great home ground advantage though.
I dont think it'd be that challenging for a side like the Suns of Lions to start to make an imprint in Cairns, particularly with its AFL friendly attitude. Focus on the whole Queensland element, hold coaching clinics, maybe find another side to play annually up there, I dont know? It may already happen? Thats why I asked.
Seems like a good opportunity that someone will eventually look at.
