    GWS Jets?

    Would've thought that's a bit too close to the Bombers. Dragons and Warriors, that's all i got. Probably no good though because of the two NRL teams.

    I'm really not interested but if they're allowed to go with their current preliminary colours of red, white and blue then I reckon the entire AFL commission should be sacked for allowing it to happen.

    There are lots of colour combinations that don't clash with existing clubs - orange, greens and grays. GWS should be forced to wear colours completely different to any exisitng club colours.

    That's actually a good point. Clubs that share the colours of the new club should be able to say that their own brand might be diluted by yet another team entering the competition with the same colours.

    Snakes? Apparently theirs a swamp near the oval and they found a snake in the car park of the ground in Blacktown.

    They floated on SEN that the early favorite is

    West Sydney Stallions

    They could do worse than the Stallions. Not bad IMO.

    Is it a lock-in that they'll be called West Sydney? Or are they a chance to be Blacktown?

    I say "nay" to that. I'd go for the Knights as a sort of play on the Suns. That'd be pretty cool.

    Cannot agree with this enough, I can't believe the gold coast can have red white blue yellow when most of the league has these colors, why create the need fir a clash strip when it's a blank canvas?

    The jumper looks like a training jumper, where are the bold clear cut shapes not the new age graphics?

    GWS should be bold no doubt with an eye on the past, it took port 10 years to figure it out.

    I don't think there's enough Green in the AFL.

    Green and yellow, green and blue. Something like that.

    Riding on the back of talks about expansion into the ACT, there is a lot of support down here for the team to be called the Rams, as this was the name given to the NSW/ACT U18 side in the TAC Cup. RAMS is basically an acronnym from Riverina, ACT, Murrumbidgee and Sydney. I like the name myself, even if it does share its name with one of the most notoriously hopeless franchises in the NFL.

    As recent as last week the proposal is for a 10 year committment with a $270 million redevelopment of Bruce Stadium to make it a multi-purpose facility that would essentially replace Manuka Oval. Will be interesting to see where it leads, though they need to put a bit more effort into the ACT4GWS campaign if they are to have any hope of reaching the target of 5000 memberships by the end of September.

    And no, they would never replace the Dees as my number 1. Would be nice to have a clear number 2 team though.

    The AFL wish to cause clashes with jumpers, it's obvious. They want control on all levels.

    Thanks for alerting me to this one, i was unaware of GC17 & GWS colour schemes up till now.

    More fuel for the Fire.

    Black & White would be nice.

    No, white and black would be better. That way, GWS can wear their home jersey, and Collingwood can also wear their home jersey, and there'll be no clash!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
