I heard on the radio today that the AFL's expansion into the Western Sydney market is in search of a nickname. Up until now it has only been known as GWS, but now they want a mascot too.
The 4 options they have listed are:
Giants
Stallions
Pride
Rangers

Re: GWS - Search for a name
From those 4 names, Giants is too Basketball-ish, Pride sounds very Soccer, Stallions?hmmmm, Rangers sound very Ice Hokey, but that would probably be my pick of that bunch.

How about 'Wombats'
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

Re: GWS - Search for a name
Pride? Really? That's asking for trouble.
Why not just name them the Rams?Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

The Martians or Seagulls might suit with Sheedy coaching.

Re: GWS - Search for a name
I'm sure they will have plenty of names when the club's find out who they have secretly signed.
