Media What's in a name?

[GWS Goose]

Shush shush, you're allowed an opinion on footy when your team has won a flag

The prosecution rests.

 

[GremioPower]

The prosecution rests.

GOOSE'D!

 

[ClarkeM]

Yeah, nah.

He’d be a good get yeah...

 

[spookism]

He’d be a good get yeah...

Not sure to what you are referring, but, sure, why not.

Hmmn. I associated Sin City with Sydney when I started. This was reinforced by the sprinkle of Bloods fans on their list.

Even the Swamprats name struck me as a reference to the loathed Pratt family who played a role in South's exile. Talk of over reading.

Personally I am not a fan about use of American locations but I doubt such names are deal breakers.

 

[VeinGlorious]

I told you we were the Hawthorn of the Sweet F.A. Surely that says it all!

This bloke doesn’t coach your Sweet team as well by any chance?

 

[VeinGlorious]

Oh you are. Embrace it. It’s a team with a pretty strong identity

Ok. Maybe we’re naughty, but we’re not all bad.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Sydney being called sin city is from the 60's 70's and 80's

Most the rest of the country had borderline puritan liquor laws regarding closing times, pokies were illegal, and our vice squads actually tried to stop prostitution.

Head to the cross, and it was Disneyland for adults back then. Hence the sin city moniker, because it was the place everyone outside Sydney came when they wanted to get their skank on

Thanks for that Alan Jones.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

I cant be Alan Jones

If I was I'd think Kings College is Disneyland

 

[Nunez]

Shush shush, you're allowed an opinion on footy when your team has won a flag

As if we have enough money to hire a coach, jackster83 blew most of it on booze after the flag and Nunez spent the rest on a one way flight to The Bahamas

And the Bahamas were good to me. Quarantine exists for everyone but celebrities.

They're certainly not dealbreakers.
But when they're the first thing you see of a new bid, they're not very good names and it would mean that over 1/3rd (I think that maths is correct Elton Johns Wig ) of the comp is American based - it certainly isn't going to get you off to a good start.

This actually sounds like something that someone in the Sweet F.A. would say

 

[Agent93]

Although the argument could be made the Hawk's East Side is based from the Americanised use of the location.

The Hawks' East Side is clearly a parody of the founders' supported AFL side.

That's a cool connection to draw, it's like people who thought my SM stood for South Melbourne.

 

[Hate]

I really do like how you solve the problems of the Sweet F.A, spookism.

 

[Mobbs]

How about just making up some names from scratch?

... and of course I was one of those.

 

[SweetD]

Yeah like Fremantle.

 

[ClarkeM]

How about just making up some names from scratch?

Or naming them after the number of clubs
- Seventh Wonders - SFA
- Team 13 - BFFCL

Thanks for that Alan Jones.

Bit harsh, mate.

Ned_Flanders may be a fat, racist, xenophobic, bigoted, anti-expansionist, Tony-Abbott-defending, corrupt-to-the-core, RWNJ, but he's not a pedo.

Bit harsh, mate.

Tony Lynn 15 may be a sexist, ageist, classist, beezist, womanising-alcoholic-communist, but he's not a racist.

How good is alcohol and woman.....in that order.

I think if the Vampires make a bid in the future, they should change Pennsylvania to Castlevania and corner the gamer market.

That's a market that really shouldn't be encouraged.

Saying that, if the mascot was a buff Simon Belmont I'd be a day one signing.
