Name for Western Sydney

Featured Replies

Just read this on the AFL site.

How poxy can it get?

What's in a name? Team GWS's four proposals

Giants - embodies the size, strength and power of west Sydney

Stallions - fast moving, powerful and impressive - just like west Sydney

Rangers - adventurous people from where the plains meet the mountains.

Pride - a region with lots to be proud of (including its new AFL team)

A touch of Americana in there with 'Giants' and 'Rangers' (pronounced with a soft 'g' rather than as in red head). Can't believe 'Mighty Ducks' didn't get a look in?!?!?

'Stallions' sounds like a porno title. I'm imagining a members section full of Armani crocheted muscle tops and leather pants.

'Pride' is something a netball team would go for.

I nearly bust a gut laughing at the reasons for the selections. 'Fast moving, powerful and impressive - just like West Sydney'. Whoever's in charge of marketing up there needs to A. visit West Sydney, and B. get into a 2010 Australian mindset rather than a 1985 High School USA fugue.

Apparently there's a competition between Bon Jovi and High Five to write the team anthem.

 
 

Freo fans can't wait for this team to come in, oh the hilarity.

As my fiancee just put it, they should be called the Suns - because the Sun shines on West Sydney.

Perhaps the Underbellies

West Sydney Guns

Major sponsor 000 or crime stoppers


The Wild Stallions

Wild West Sydney

 

As long as it's not something as weak and overanalyzed as 'Power', 'Force' or 'Pride', I don't care what it is. - I think Gold Coast did the right thing by putting it on the back burner for a while. Let the name come about naturally.


Western Sydney bowel prowlers haha :) trying to take over NRL silly idea. People there dont give a [censored] about football and never will.

Ummm Rangers is not American, Glasgow, Queens Park use it just to name a few off the top of my head.


Texas Rangers - Major League Baseball

Came into existence when? compared to Glasgow (1872) or Queens park (1882)?

The Western Sydney Cougars

The marketing potential is endless.

Could target the over 35 female population for fans, as they have no hope with the blokes out west.

I don't understand why you all think it's so funny

I don't mind Giants or Rangers. Much better than Power or Dockers.


as long as it is something tangible.

As mentioned I hate the power, force, storm type names etc.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
