Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3096125, member: 9326"] AFL players fly across the country several times a year. Certainly doesn't seem to do them any harm. The A-League and NBL both operate coast to coast. Have you seen how far Super Rugby sides travel? Honestly, worrying about one flight a year to Perth and back is a pretty lame excuse in this day and age of air travel. Melbourne will grow the game. You could argue they already have, but I think that will only grow as time goes on. Sure, it'll never pass AFL down there, it very likely never would in Perth either. But those two cities have large populations that are actually in growth (Melbourne is on track to pass Sydney for population in the 2030's) and they are also home to some of Australia's largest businesses which can provide considerable financial backing. Shutting the door on expansion to other cities is condemning us to a small time future in the Australian sporting landscape. [/QUOTE]
