Merge sun's and giants

[woodys_world69]

Western Sydney region is a disaster. Nobody going to the games.
Gold coast sun's on field is a disaster.

Gws are a decent team on field and sun's regularly fill their stadium against the big teams even while their team gets smashed.

It's time to join the 2 and move GWS to metricon ASAP! The afl needs to stop losing money on these whales hand over fist

The last merge worked out well, we lost 2 straight GFs. No bloody way,

[Dave The Man]

Or Move Suns to Tassie

[David]

Lol. A better option would be to wind up the Suns and mark them as a failed experiment, University style. And then introduce a Tasmanian team, as should have always been done to begin with.

Or Move Suns to Tassie

lol what? u wanna move a shit team to tassie, to play shit football, and ur still stuck with GWS not getting anyone to their games.

My point was we need to get rid of this Greater Western Sydney team, but the AFL wont while they have been getting into 2 prelims.
No Victorians or football family's would never move out to West Sydney because its a dump, where-as alot of them move to the gold coast to raise kids etc. the original reason why the AFL wanted a team up there.

Plus with 1 less team, you get a greater depth of talent at each club.

Plus Tassie is not an option for the AFL, as its not financially feasible, and its a market already owned by AFL and cricket.

The AFL should never of started 2 teams, dimitripoo's greatest mistake.

Gold Coast an NRL heartland gets less supporters to watch an NRL game than an AFL game. This is why the AFL is their and never going to leave. Imagine if the AFL had a team that where actually decent on the field?

Take off your biased collingwood hat for a second, and just look at the figures.

Bellerive Oval:
2018 Average: 10,730

Won't happen but it would be best. Same thing with GWS.

People on the Gold Coast don't give a Shit about the Suns at Least Tassie Fan would Actually Give a Shit.

What about Auroa Stadium.

They could Put Money making Belireve Bigger

[Presti35]

I cant see the AFL giving up on both teams (or either team) any time soon.

[Pi]

And now ... wait for it ...they want retention allowances / priority picks and umpiring concessions

(ok... I made up the bit about umpiring concessions)

[Jezza]

18 teams is too many for this competition. The effect that the inclusion of Gold Coast and GWS has had is that the talent pool has become diluted.

16 teams was the optimal number. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if both the Suns and Giants were removed from the competition.

Agree. They've invested too much money for it to fail now.
