Gold Coast, where to for that club? The AFL is up to their balls with around $200m pumped into the failing franchise and the bloody minded chiefs at AFL house won't pull out* of this one any time soon. If they had some aggots they'd pull the pin on them and have a Tassie Devils side up and running in 2020.
St Kilda, going backwards fast.
Suns aren’t going anywhere. The AFL is hell bent on destroying NRL and participation numbers playing Aussie rules on the Gold Coast has gone through the roof since the Suns were admitted. I did hear Cochrane on SEN this morning say they need more picks and financial help though
Yup, Suns are here to stay with a population base in SEQ of over 4 million, the Gold coast, and to a lesser extent Brisbane exist purely for TV rights and sponsorship exposure for the AFL and the other 16 souless AFL franchises. Same with GWS .
The population (read potential market ) for both the Gold Coast and Western Sydney is 1.5 times that of Adelaide alone.
What sh!ts me is money from the game of Australian football will be taken to prop up these franchise while real footy i.e the SANFL, WAFL and Tasmanian leagues and Country footy get left to wither and potentially die.
GAGF AFL
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
