The only way there'll ever be a third WA side is if one of the regional cities ends up growing much bigger (e.g. Albany, Geraldton etc) and can support it's own team a la Geelong.
There isn't any area with a singular footy/community identity within a discrete geographical area that also has a population base to support an AFL team in WA though. It'd have to be created.There's been talk of this on the footy industry board for years.
By population (and income) it works. What I can't see is a model that would get enough support. IMO Joondalup wouldn't work, it's an area with no identity and it's basically just Perth suburbia.
The only idea that I think would have a chance is a working class model team based in the Eastern suburbs, maybe Kelmscott/Armadale or something like that. Even then, I doubt many people would jump on board early, it'd take 20 years and some success on field.
