Very good analysis Wookie looks like Suns are clearly the leading expansion franchise on the following they have!
LARGEST MEMBERSHIP, LARGEST PROFIT, LARGEST HOME CROWD AVERAGE - THE BIGGEST CLUB IN SYDNEY - THE SYDNEY SWANS

It's not surprising, Swans. A lot of the interest in the Suns comes from Gary Ablett Jnr. That was always going to be a big plus for them. West Sydney have a good list, but there are no absolute stars there - at least not yet. Hopefully one of their youngsters breaks out and makes a big splash, getting the sort of attention that would make the Sydney media stand up and pay attention.

Well, as we all know the wise old clubs threw the spanner in the works and signed up all their stars so they were unpoachable.
IMO, because that's what we're talking here, Buddy at GWS would not have worked well because unlike Ablett Buddy is dependent on down field supply.
Nice try Cos.

And you'd have to expect to throw some money at marketing at the launch of each new team.
Nice try Cos.

Yes, and let's not forget hunt, at his best, was a good footballer who held his own ... Just couldn't sustain it.
