This has my vote for dumbest idea ever...

 

[T to the T]

Sydney Celtics :lol:

So they are looking to make their game ethnic now?:lol:

I take it the South Melbourne Swans are now going to become the team of the protestants. Should be fun times ahead if they hope to emulate their benchmark in Glasgow. Barry Hall would have a field day:lol:

I take it the AFL didn't follow what happened to the NSL. A 2nd Sydney side for flogball might bring down the 1st one, brilliant;-)

You gotta hand it to em though. They're liars and cheats but they will go to any length to promote their game. Meanwhile we sit on our hands.

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

Shouldn't this be in the AFL forum?

 

[NK Arsenal]

it is the only way they will become international :lol:

Another post that doesn't belong here...

Whinging about other sports should be confined to the TFC.

 

[VictoryFC]

Well, way to alienate a majority of the target demographic with that name. This is all just publicity folks, nothing will come from it

Stupid, just stupid.

Much like the idea of having a team in West Sydney right now.

 

[Twizzle]

wont work imo

west sydney is just not a suitable place for AFL imo, its League and thats the way it will stay

 

[oneeyedeaglesman]

What about the Sydney Squatters or the Gold Coast Gate Crashers.I hope they do expand their comp,as it has the potential for disaster(for the AFL) and comedy gold.

 

[Highlander]

The fact they ignore Tasmania which loves AFL for West Sydney and Gold coast will be there demise. I sometimes get the feeling there pushing hard in West Sydney to keep the league focus on our own turf and to prevent us from pushing forward.

Tassie would ever support an AFL team, financially that is

Hawks play out of there, sometimes.

 

[Twizzle]

which is about as close as they will get to having their own team

and Hawks play crap in Tassie
