Wow.
So after Tassie, what do we think? Norwood? Darwin? Canberra? A WAFL team, East Perth? West Perth? Perth?
East Fremantle? There's a lot to look at. How many teams do we want?
There's a lot of water to go under the bridge here, like what we saw for Tassy to get their side going, and we're still a few years away from seeing them play.The Northern Territory has taken its next step in trying to land the AFL’s 20th team, releasing a business case which claims major economic benefits - but admits it would need AFL and government support.

I switched to Norwood when Port Adelaide came into the league (Scott Burns factor). It'd be interesting to see them come in. Canberra, I dont think, could support an AFL side. And we're really needing North Melbourne to get their act together as there is still the possibility of relocation.A third South Australian team, perhaps SANFL powerhouse Norwood, or a Canberra side are also in the mix.
