How to mess up a THUNDERDOME

NO RESEARCH
Currently playing Doctor Zeus' Thunderdome so I thought I'd just piggyback onto his.
Same times: first guess should be in by Saturday 10AM EST. Next round goes every 48 hours from there.
But, of course, I have to mess up my Thunderdome by making it more "fun"!
It's like playing Omaha instead of Holdem: we play 6 Thunderdomes at once.
I need the name of a town or city that qualifies in one (or more) of these ways:
1) Is in the name of a current National Football League team
2) Is in the name of a current Australian "Aussie Rules" Football League team
3) Is in the top 20 Australian "local government area" or "urban centres" by population
4) hometown of an actress who has won more than 1 "best actress" Academy Award
5) hometown of someone who has won the Poker Player's Championship (or the 50K HORSE) at the WSOP (ref: Hendon Mob)
6) hometown of an Aussie who cashed in the 2022 WSOP Main Event (ref: wsop.com)
Reference is by Wikipedia unless otherwise stated.
The word(s) you find must refer to a town or city. Example: "Minnesota Vikings". You cannot use Minnesota, Utah or Vikings, Oregon because neither "Minnesota" nor "Vikings" refers to a city or town in the NFL team name "Minnesota Vikings".

a bit over 8 hours left in round #1
if you miss a round you can still enter/resume by just making multiple picks to catch up
some of the places have official names of "City Of ......." but are not cities! We'll accept them anyway.
multiple cities with the same name will be considered as being one (like Springfield)
one city with multiple names will be considered to be 1 city (like "Moscow" and "Metro Moscow")
and remember that we only want towns or cities. other land areas don't count (unless their name is "City Of .........")

Just a word about the times/rounds.
My rounds go every 48 hours - no need to wait for me to give the go ahead.
10 EST is an odd time because Eastern Time is on Daylight Savings right now.
10 EST is 8 PDT.
That is to say, about 2 minutes from now.
