Funding sports such as swimming that has in the past given us the lion share of Olympic medals and success, but when that doesn’t work out such as in London 2012 and more recently in Rio, then we need something to fall back on.
Sports that consistently give results such as field hockey and cycling should get a bigger slice of the funding pie.

Teams such as Chicago just cannot compete with the super teams of the NBA (Golden State Warriors. Cleaveland Cavs, Boston Celtics)
Chicago needs serious young talent that can develop into the next LeBron and I can’t really see that in their current lineup.
How the Chicago Bulls can emerge from the murky tanking waters
Good Point.
Wollongong has a much smaller population (280,705) to Newcastle (546,788) and is about 80 km closer to Sydney than Newcastle, meaning supporting a Sydney team is a possibility. More people simply means more potential fans, which is what all football clubs need.
Six teams who should make the A-League expansion shortlist
The only thing I can see actually see happening with expansion would be an extra team in both Victoria(Geelong or western Melbourne) and New South Wales (Campbelltown or Wollongong)
Smaller bids like Tasmania, Gold Coast and a second Adelaide team would just simply not have the infrastructure, financial base fan base needed to sustain an A-League team.

How long can the proposed National Sports Plan survive?
More sport is never a bad thing for anyone!
