Here are some things GWS could change. Have American style cheerleaders at games. Change the name to WEST SYDNEY GIANTS Make the merchandise more like the NFL or NBA merchandise like the Western Sydney NRL clubs have. Ditch the cheesy GWS song and replace it with a hip hop track. Change the GWS Gian...

& so say all of us filthy thieving scum Tasmania is not a dictatorship & racistball can go get fucked with their tax payer funded stadium that is not needed. https://www.news.com.au/national/politics/thousands-rally-against-a-new-700m-afl-stadium-in-tasmania-amid-housing-crisis/news-story/f...

I think there is a lot wrong with the way Giant”s have been set up. I think their song is the least of their worries. Yeah I know the song is a minor thing, but to think a cheesy mascot and Melbourne style marketing is going to resonate with Western Sydney is a huge misjudgement. The name, the masc...

I tend to agree. Footy is just never going to get popular there. It is a big waste of money for the AFL to keep trying with them. Lets start teams in Canberra, Tasmania & a (possible) NT team. Western Sydney can just stick with Rugby League & Soccer while most of the rest of the country fol...

I agree with the core of this thread. The giants were supposed to be a western Sydney team, but from almost day dot of the clubs creation, decisions made by both the AFL administration and the giants administration made GWS anything but.. The errors I see gws made are... Trying to represent both we...

Two points here both big costly mistakes. First mistake the Giants moniker does not represent any flora, fauna or cultural aspect of Sydney. so potential fans can not identify with and embrace the team, in short the giant name is an unmitigated disaster. Please learn from the Dolphins, credit where...

Should be a good game there.

Part of the problem for the Giants in Western Sydney is AFLs image. AFL is not seen a cool sport by the average person in Sydney's West. Like if you saw this video. Would it make you want to see the Giants? The AFL songs are so ridiculous. What works in Melbourne won't always work in other parts of ...

I accidentally did a repeat of this post in fight club forum, but I agree that it is very rare for AFL to admit something like that. Is plain for everyone to see that Giants have no supporters in Sydney. Whenever they play the Swans there is about 1% if you're lucky that are Giants supporters. AFL i...

Looks like the AFLs plans to win over NRL fans in NSW is not going quite as expected. Article from The Age in Melbourne. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-nrl-is-stronger-here-than-when-the-giants-started-swans-giants-want-afl-to-lift-its-game-20230427-p5d3nl.html The NRL is stronger here than...

Putting a team in Cairns with a small population, no major facilities and that represents the Pacific Islands (not Cairns) seems just ridiculous. Not only that, they will rely on government funding to survive. Then you get a government that comes in that likes AFL who will likely cut funds when need...

Yeah the gather round did seem like a bit of a flop for AFL. I heard all the huge entire sellout claims, but this clearly wasn't the case when you saw the crowds in the stadiums

AFL house will never admit GWS struggles in Western Sydney. Is is bit like the AFL China exhibition matches. There was virtually nobody of Asian descent of the small crowd in the stadium of the few people at all.. Yet AFL kept claiming it was a roaring success exposing the game to a billion plus peo...

Bout time the arrogant merkins admitted they could not win the war on the Gold Coast. Olive branch now offered to the Suns. :oops: :oops: :oops: Add to that free memberships for any kid on the Gold Coast. Talk about desperate times Titans... $25 million in debt as well. Will the NRL grant get them ...

Yeah that was a cracking game. Adding the Dolphins to the NRL seems to have increased crowds in Queensland for other teams and games.
