Yes, they are, really.
Now stop trolling, go and read the previous posts and you will find the references to where Wellington says it would like an AFL team.
Quite amazing stuff. Really.

Nah, what's amazing is that we get one game with a good crowd (and I'd love to see stats on how many tickets were given away) and from that, and you draw the staggering conclusion that Wellington is gagging for an AFL team? Ridiculous.
Look, I can't be bothered reading the links because I'm busy, and I just know it'll be mayors, politicians, business groups, etc (i.e. anyone with a direct interest in having thousands of Aussies fly over every fortnight to spend $$$ in the NZ economy) that are talking up NZ's sudden obsession with Australian football. Show me local petitions, show me strong local leagues, show me thousands of junior players, show me evidence of ANY meaningful grass-roots support and then I'll believe that 'Wellington wants an AFL team'.
Have we learnt nothing from GWS? From a regional population of two or three million, they can't draw crowds much more than 10,000. And we expect a city IN NEW ZEALAND with a population of less than 400,000 to be able to support an AFL team? Adelaide's got one million and they can just support two teams (in a football-mad city). You're all mental!
