Rightio. You're entitled to a rant and it's a good 'un.As Napoleon and Hitler couldn't take Moscow, I don't think a pea-brain like McLachlan is going to take Western Sydney. Long or short term. The AFL has its niche Sydney team at the SCG. It's followers are the eastern suburbs bourgeois Union supporters. The support base won't stretch any further. How can anyone say it is starting to pay significant financial dividends when they can't even get 10,000 to attend their most important game of the year and the tickets were being given away. That being the case, if there is anyone watching AFL on TV in Western Sydney, they wouldn't give a fu** if it was Tassie Maps or the GWS Tooly Birds they were watching - there is no commitment at all, you are kidding yourself if you maintain otherwise.
The 9th game each week generates over $60m pa just in TV rights revenue, no way that continues without a second club in Sydney.
GWS has to remain in Sydney to fight off NRL.

Just on the significant financial dividends bit, though ...
Don't forget that part of the strategy of the AFL is to gave a game every weekend in Sydney to keep AFL front of mind in Sydneysiders. Tasmania may well (eventually) get a side but not at the expense of a second team in NSW.
Yes, you are right, they should.Original poster you’ve got it wrong. Time to merge Norf and Gold Coast and pi55 them off to Tassie

And less than 8000 bother to roll up to the grand finalThe attendance at GWS's biggest home game for the year says it ain't working. 8 seasons and that's the result. It won't change, Matt Dougie has probably forecast the future. Unless they get more crazy supplementation, they will die around the bottom of the ladder in about 5 seasons.
The tell tale vision will be when GWS kick a goal in the GF and channel seven flash to a nursing hone with 4 dementia patients waving orange hankershieves whilst requesting nebutol to end this horrible experiment
The AFL will play their crowd cheering tape through the loudspeakers like they did when Hird presented the NSM .The tell tale vision will be when GWS kick a goal in the GF and channel seven flash to a nursing hone with 4 dementia patients waving orange hankershieves whilst requesting nebutol to end this horrible experiment
