I don't think you realise how footy mad WA is. Theres no other way over here. 3 teams would be good.
The reason you're so footy mad over there in WA is cos there no other real options. There's 3 main sporting teams to support, the bulldogs, eagles and perth glory... This however will all change over the next 10 years as i see rugby union becoming the biggest sport in the west as they are crying out for a new sport. unfortunately i don't think that WA will get another team...

Tasmania would have to be front runners now that kangaroos are basically the ACT... Other options i see as being Northern Territory or a second sydney team which is something that has been looked at for some time now.

You can't forget the Wildcats. Basketball's got really big over here since about 5 years ago. And on your rugby comment, i'd have to disagree. All our families over here have been brought up with AFL, and I don't think introducing another sport, as good as it may be, will ever change that.

Beat Adelaide, I think Melbourne will be close though I'm leaning towards Sydney, will be tough against West Coast but should win, will beat Essendon, Port is dependant on if they can recover after the 68 point loss :lol:

I'm really pumped for tonight. I've been working Thursday nights since the Footy Show's started, but no more! I've seen the end of one of them, Judd Lalich singing Daughter, and also Brodie Holland embaressing himself. I guess it's a regular thing now?

Ok SA then. I suggested WA caus i'm from here and i'd like that to happen more. I think Tasmania would get it, but another team here would be great.
Tasmania could really use it. Footy is the main sport over here, but some people are slowly turning towards soccer, despite us getting a few games each year. A Tasmanian team would make a difference.

I support anything that will stop this "sport" known as soccer

Haha, footy show was great.

You know that Toyota Corolla ad where James Hird (there is also one with Riewoldt) is saying what makes a great team? Then it cuts to some guy standing next to a Corolla saying how good it is? Who is that guy?? :-O

Brisbane
Sydney
Port Adelaide
