      I guess they know they'll get a guaranteed massive crowd in Sydney.

          An extra game in Sydney is good stuff, although I'm suprised they are suggesting that it would be at the SCG with a different game sent to Homebush
          I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
          We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

              Seriously though, the AFL gave them an Out option of the financial difficulty last year, which they rejected.
              Now they are pleading their case again for more financial assisstance, grow some nads Andy, and tell JB to go jump.

                  Wouldn't selling the game be seperate to the AFL's offer?

                      But, it's just another grab for cash from the same hand they bit last year.

                          Maybe they prefer the surrounds of Western Sydney over the Gold Coast?

                                  Bring it on!!!

                                  I love to boo-a-roo.

                                  (Plus, we get an "extra" home game.)
                                  Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                                  Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                                          And so the Kangaroos' 10-year rotational tour of Australia launches another cycle....

                                              Certainly, the numbers they attract in Melbourne they'd be used to a massive stadium with echoes

                                                  The Western Sydney Rooters has a nice ring to it!

                                                      The thought of all those empty seats on Saturday nights must have made them feel at home!


                                                      With the Swans due for a few years in the doldrums soon & a second team in Sydney still a dangerous proposition in the medium term, I don't think the AFL can afford North bringing more negative publicity to the code.
                                                      Seriously the AFL wouldn't be so stupid to let them back here again, would they? Would they?

                                                      North Melbourne =damage to the AFL brand whereever they go. If you don't identify with the area you are playing in (ala Hawthorn in Tassie), then don't bother!

                                                          What a joke this club is!

                                                          They turned down the best offer for survival in QLD and now are trying to prostitute their games like 2-bit hookers.

                                                          They deserve only to perish.
