Secondly, the western suburbs are growing by densification alone.
Isn't that an argument for implementing a tram network in the western suburbs rather that putting all the eggs into a single underground train line?
Maybe I'll just agree to disagree on this, I wish that we were in the position to make it happen but were not and wont be in my lifetime.

No it is not. The northern and southern suburbs are growing much faster, and the southern suburbs currently have worse transport.
And I will rephrase the line you quoted:
Other than by densification, the western suburbs are not growing at all!
Don't be fooled by the
densification buzzword, it tells you nothing about the case for trams there.
I'm not saying there isn't a good argument for trams in the western suburbs, but the benefit:cost ratio would be lower than for a single underground line.

something i dont understand is why the western suburbs are getting priority for trams (entertainment centre, westlakes, semaphore) when the west is already serviced by fixed rail connections. The inner east, north and south should be much higher priority for trams, because especially in the east, there are no fixed connections at all, traveilling by public transport in the east is hopeless.

I am all for an underground rail link that would pass through the centre of Rundle Mall.
On a side note, I recently wrote a long blog post on the downfalls of car-dependency
