Gregmond Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 In the West, I like Seattle, SanFran, LA and SanDiego for starters, and then two of LasVegas, Phoenix, Denver or StLoius to make up your six. I'd think StL and Denver give you the best coverage.In the East, you've got to have NY, Chicago and Detroit, and three from Miami/Orlando, Boston, Philly, Washington, Atlanta or Cleveland (actually plently of choices on this side of the country). I'd probably say Miami, Boston and Atlanta would leave you with a nice spread of teams.What about Vancouver/Calgary and Toronto/Montreal - one in either conference ... maybe not. US Pro sports haven't been traditionally strong across the border though - too many management problems with currency related issues.Cheers,Greg Thanks to Gobbi for the awesome buttons!

Alphabet Man Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 and to develope Aussie Rules we can have USA & Canada in the same league.... twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregmond Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 Aussie ... refer to the Expos/Canada baseball thread, but I think for various reasons you should go for stability first, and include only 12 US based teams. If the games takes off, then maybe 2 from Canada, but not right away ... get established first.Greg Thanks to Gobbi for the awesome buttons!

Alphabet Man Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 exactly, no names left for them they can just be San Diego AFC (Australian Football Club) twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 No team in Boston?!?!? The Boston Demons have been one of the most consistently strong teams (and active organizations) in the history of Aussie Rules in the United States. Frankly, they deserve a slot over any of the cities that you've listed as East Division markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 boston is on my list, not on gregs though twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregmond Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 Sorry, I wasn't aware of Boston's strength/history in Aussie Rules football, and I picked the others simply for a geographical spread (obviously except NY / Philly). I will happily revise my league and award the franchise to Boston instead of Philadelphia.I was a bit fuzzy on the AFLUS East to be honest - any other suggestions?Cheers,Greg Thanks to Gobbi for the awesome buttons!
