Then maybe games vs Port, Freo, Giants, GC might be achievable
Martin, I've always had faith in you.

And now you're starting to come around. :D

A crowd of even 15k would be a bigger capacity than quite a few of the grounds that host AFL games these days.

And there'd be three big plusses.
- We'd win most of the games there.
- We'd make more $$$ than playing a small drawing club at Dockedlands.
- The route from Martin's home to the footy and back home again would be a shorter parkour course than the current one to Dockedlands and back. (I saved the best one till last. :wink: )

And speaking of ground capacities, the 2025 Gather Round will include games being played, for premiership points, at...
The Norwood Postage Stamp Oval - 10,000 capacity.
& in The Barossa Park Phone Box - 5000 capacity.

If there can be a round zero, how about each losing side in a game played at a non AFL ground gets 1 point as compo.
Also, sides with more byes than its opponents have to give a 15 point start.
