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.

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?

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.

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.

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!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
