    The Swans have nothing to do with the changing of the name, that is up to the people who run the Stadium. We just play a few games a season there (heck ANZ aren't even sponsors of our club).

    As for a second team that joined the AFL to play out of Western Sydney, they would be playing out of "ANZ" Stadium or whatever it would be called full time, so would that make them? A soulless and manufactured franchise by your reasoning or something else????
    Once was, now elsewhere

    They pay for it!
    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
