New SANFL Pokies venues

Rumour has it (repeated in Sportsbeat last week) that 2 SANFL clubs are looking to set up off site pokie venues in the near future. Whether that be in relocating their machines or taking over an existing pub lease it was not stated.
All 9 clubs now run profitable venues, some at their home ground, others relocated to main road sites elsewhere (North, Eagles, Sturt, Norwood). All are crucial to the financial standing of the clubs, although the heavy reliance on them is a concern.
So who are the 2 clubs in question and what are their plans?. I'm guessing Westies may be one, in looking to relocate their pokies to a main road site away from Milner road. No idea who the other may be.
Anyone to shed any light on this?

Westies pokie turnover seems to be doing alright to me as everytime that I'm there there is always several machines in use.

perhaps they might be looking at investing in another venue to hae two income streams. Norwood could be another

My mail is that Westies are looking at moving their machines to a main road site as their turnover is not what they want compared to a few of the other clubs.

I did hear a rumour only that Glenelg was looking at a lease but don't think they have done it yet, hope I am wrong!
