An interesting article, here are a few excerpts from it that relates to the Bulldogs...

Re: Selling home games to Adelaide

Demetriou also poured cold water on reported negotiations between the Western Bulldogs and AAMI Stadium and the Adelaide Oval, stressing that the AFL would not schedule home games in Adelaide not involving Port or the Adelaide Crows.

Re: Selling home games to Geelong

While the AFL has been unable to improve deals to date at Etihad Stadium, the MCG or AAMI Stadium, Demetriou also confirmed the league would not entertain the Bulldogs' reported move to sell home games to Skilled Stadium at Geelong in a bid to reap improved revenue for home games, given the Bulldogs' poor returns from Docklands.


So basically, ....

"We are only interested in our developing markets when it comes to selling home games," said Demetriou yesterday. "Those markets are Darwin, Canberra and Tasmania and that has been our position for some time. Nor will we be moving any Adelaide or Port Adelaide home games away from Adelaide."

Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs held talks last Friday with Northern Territory Government officials and NTFL boss Tony Frawley regarding a potential two-game package in Darwin from next season, along with a pre-season game in Alice Springs. Bulldogs president David Smorgon said he was unaware of the AFL's stance on Adelaide and Geelong.

Hopefully, we can strike up a 2 game Darwin package or just continue on with 1 in Darwin and 1 in Canberra.
