It becomes a question of which teams would be best suited to relocation.
Being a Sydney person, I think - at the moment - the only Melbourne-based club that could relocate to western Sydney and make a go of it would be Collingwood. The club has the same outlook generally as western Sydney, and playing at Homebush certainly holds no fears for them. If not Collingwood, who else? Maybe the Bulldogs?
I've always thought that if Richmond relocated to Tasmania, the Tassie Tigers would certainly have a ring to it. They'd probably become one of the most popular brands in the AFL.
I always thought the Western Bulldogs would be a perfect fit for Western Sydney, don't even have to change the name.
I had thought that about Richmond, but I think they are financially stable at the moment. I also thought Melbourne could go to Tassie, "Demons" could be changed to "Devils", and you have the Tassie Devils.

... but "Blacktown Bogans" had such a nice ring to it!!!
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.
A 'nothing' article full of hot air and no new detail. Not sure why anyone would read much into one journo's opinion.
The NEW team (for the AFL's credibilty in Sydney, cannot be another relocated Melbourne team) will start in 2012.
It will be like calling in the cavalry into NSW to help the Swans climb from the trenches and grow interest in Australian Football across Greater Sydney. BIG TIME.
Soccer is even getting federal funding to take their game to Indigenous Australians. We must act now in THEIR heartland... it's a land grab.
We snooze, we lose.
"As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.
