I think Cambletown is more 'western sydney' then it is 'country'. If it were to fall within any teams catchment area it would be the Greater Sydney Rams.

Obviously Randwick or the Eastern Suburbs aren't country ether, but I attended a Eagles match at Woollahra and it was a fantastic event with all the country pop-up stalls.

So you prefer them at Coogee?

You're making a common mistake of grouping the Cambelltown region with "the West of Sydney". It's a distinct geographical area known as the Macarthur Region and includes (rural) places such Camden and Picton. They consider themselves to be a stand-alone community.

City of Campbelltown - a Regional City Centre and the capital of the Macarthur region.

Located just 50 minutes from the Sydney CBD and within easy reach of major road and rail links to the Southern Highlands, Canberra, the Blue Mountains and the South Coast beaches, Campbelltown offers a unique combination of city opportunities in a natural setting to its 150,000 residents.

Being both born and raised in the region I can confirm that yes, it is its own distinct region.

Having the Eagles based in the region would work.

I understand your point but it does fall under the Country banner as part of the Illawarra RU. Also, its about as country as both Wollongong and Newcastle. It's actually considered part of Greater Sydney which technically so is Wollongong.
