You would think that if the giants weren’t playing in the act amd doing well and indeed, better, there than in weste Sydney, that the AFL would plonk a team there already to go in or around the time Tassie come on board. It’s a perfect time to strike - but I feel they have nobbled themselves with GWS. To be honest- the simple easier decision would be to admit they stuffed up with the implementation of gws and move them lock stick and barrel to Canberra - however longterm - and the much more challenging decision, is to persist in the huge market, still untapped, of western Sydney. To do the later though would require a big change of direction and focus for gws. The first thing would becoming more attuned to the working class roots of the area.

western Sydney is Huge though and only exploding in population>> 2.9mill at the moment..

Sydney Swans have never been popular in the west..

i just could not see the AFL giving up on 3 million people and growing

however a ACT Team is only a matter of time...
Especially considering Wagga Wagga and Albury are close by bringing in even more fans

I agree. Concentrate on western sydney AND put a side in canberra.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.
