Looking at flights to Hobart and They want to charge me around $400+.

Hows the audacity?!?! it;s Hobart, not Monaco.
Looks like i'll be watching at home or at the Light Brigade hotel in Paddington.
Any Sydney-siders here that have a decent local?

Paid $79 rtn, pays to plan in advance, actually just lucky i was so pizzed about the loss earlier in the year

I think GW$ will be where they are for a long time. Gold Coast will die first....

Can't agree

Gold Coast full of ex Victorians and STh Aussies and many of them ex AFL players 

Western Sydney a Rugby stronghold with next to no ex Victorians

And many new Migrants who follow Soccer

Tend to agree. GWS will survive purely due to AFL support. Western Sydney Wanderers have twice as many fans as them.

You underestimate the AFL Broadcast deal. 

They want to SMASH NRL, they won't give up

what Sporting organization has survived on the Gold Coast long term?

 

not one...

I work for AFL

Promote the game in the Sth Coast NSW schools

Kids wear Collingwood/Melbourne/ Richmond and mainly Swans jumpers

Very few GWS except for my Uniform 

Still think they will eventually fail

and get moved away from Western Sydney

Love for the Red and a White is strong down here

St George and Swans

There will be 2 teams in Southern NSW, the AFL will pay for them, because the League want a game every weekend of the season to be televised into Sydney and NSW to take down the NRL. 

This will go on for decades.....

i am not disputing what you see Bear, but i have seen Memos going around TV Stations. The Strategy is long term

the NRL is starting to lose ground slowly..
