    "Blind Freddie" wants Western Bulldogs in Sydney

    Another in the long line of articles that wants a second team in Sydney before Sydney is ready for it.
    David Smorgon seems pretty happy about it as well.

    From what I understand, Andy D has the 'vision' to see a second team in Sydney by 2015. To me, this seems llike a more realistic timeline. He would no doubt have hoped to see a massive hike in the sport's popularity after the Premiership, but I think it will take a little more for the true effects to be felt.

    However, I'm not sure if even 9 years is a realistic time frame.

    Gold Coast would be more logical for the next relocation of a Melbourne club

    Which is good really

    Burgeoning population

    A large club infrastructure Southport Sharks. They just have to bite the bullet - it has worked for us.

    There isn't a big enough population in Canberra to support an AFL side

    I disagree. Canberra's population is larger than Geelong's. It has enough people to support the Raiders and the Brumbies.I reckon that a lot of ex-Southern state people now living in Canberra, plus some locals, would support a Canberra based AFL team. When I lived in Canberra in the 70's AFL was the most popular code.

    Plus there should be plenty of support in Canberra as there isn't much else to do there.

    The big problem with moving the 'Roos to Canberra is that the stadium will look empty with the numbers they get to games.
