Hard but fair tackle.

I don't think Canberra will happen. A Gold Coast team would be hands down a better investment.

The kid is doing well! Could be an NT mainstay for 15 years.

There's banter and there's flat out unpleasantness. Let's stay the right side of the banter line, fellas.

Looks like a rashie for the kids to wear at the beach in summer

Always good to see a provocative sweeping generalisation that may or may not not bear any relation to the actual situation.

The reality still looks better than City at AAMI. My bet is that in the medium term WU will outstrip City by some margin. City and Macarthur are the biggest problems in the comp.

Lot riding on the City Football Schools initiative. Absolutely nothing else there to hang any hope on for MC being more than a poorly supported rump.

This has PRATT written all over it.

Any news of a Gold Coast side in the comp?

Not all of them. Remember the vomit kit?

Nice work! Got it exactly

Once they start running around, epileptics watch out! Someone's pulling a joke, I hope. Surely it can't be that atrocity.

Victory are so far down that its hard to believe. Gone are the days when MV attendances used to pull up the whole league average.

Has to be said that its not the job of APL to have any new clubs "ready to go". Its all dependent on the investors being there to stump up the cash, which is NEVER going to happen with Tasmania and is unlikely to happen with Canberra. I don't understand why so many people seem to have the...

In the case of the investors, "shovel ready" refers to their financial status.

Anyways, the derby was a timely reminder of what the comp can deliver at its best.

Personally, I do not believe the stadium will ever be built. My bet is that they will add to what they have.

I can see the headline: pitch invasion staged by aged care resident.

I'm guessing that there are going to be no expansion teams given the cost. Not in the forseeable future, anyway. The most likely exception is Gold Coast. Stadium, heading for a million people. Bespoke derby with Brisbane. I could see that attracting a bid. None of the others.
