(S23) - PT3 - Dream Team

[Thor]

If it were me creating the expansion team, I'd be putting it somewhere in Australia to provide the league with even more international representation. While we all know leagues like the NFL and CFL are so focused on their home nations, it's great to see more variety in the sim leagues we call our home.

My pick for the specific location would be either Melbourne, or one of the surrounding suburbs. Melbourne is a cultural and sporting hub in Australia and with such a significant amount of sports fans it would be the best city to draw a good and regular crowd.

I love team names with alliteration, so I'd be likely to name the team just to suit that - even if it didn't make the most sense (Melbourne Marauderers, Geelong Gorrilas, Ballarat Blunderers, something like that)

The franchise being based in a yet un-exploitedtapped market means that even though it's based specifically in a city/area, it should see the support and fandom of many others around the oceanic area - people from Sydney probably wont be so keen on it but the revenue fans it could bring would be a tremendous help to the league in all aspects. It would also be the best type of football in Australia.
