Poor GWS

[Xman]

how else were they going to build a team from nothing?

[AFLcrap1]

Lol .
Buy players . They have a salary cap

But we're given the best young talent when other poorly performing heartland teams were not.
What is so hard to understand .
It's fucking simple .
If one team gets things either through extra on field $$$$$$$$ to spend .
Or given the best new talent & other teams are not given the same it is not a level playing field .
It's a compromised comp .
It's not hard to understand...unless you follow the sport .then all rational thought goes out the window
& for all the bullshit that gets posted here .
It does not happen in the NRL .
Melb NEVER got any more in their salary cap than other teams .
Never got given any talent .
They signed off contract players .

It's a fucking lie that keeps getting repeated by the usual suspects .

[Xman]

its hard to understand how they could simply buy 45 players. Who would they get? Players are contracted to their existing clubs. Of the few players out of contract they would have to want to leave their existing club and go to the Giants to play for a club that wouldnt see success within their careers. few if any players would do this.

Giving them a selection of the best players doesnt guarantee success. melbourne have had numerous top draft picks in previous years and have either chosen poorly or failed to develop the players properly. The Suns were given just as many concessions as the giants and are still struggling despite securing the best player in the country.

[Swans4ever]

Some people have no idea how a draft works.

[post_hoc]

Going to be even worse for GWS when the Wanderers move into the stadium and make their averages look dismal, god I hope we get there crowd counter as well, we are going to average 43,000 at the stadium (yes i know it only holds 24,000)

oh yes Wanderers are even younger than GWS so you really cant use the 5 year old excuse with us. Oh but I guess the difference is we know what success looks like. You guys win a game at it's like you won a final

Post the difference is the Wanderers have earned there success through hard work and graft. The Wanderers in a period of 3-4 years have clearly been embraced by those that love the world game in Western Sydney.

GWS have been given the best young AFL players all over the country and basically have still failed to make a mark..

So the Wanderers earned their success eh?

Turn it up, I know Sydney FC fans who will tell you the Wanderers were set up and owned by the FFA with the express intention of being very successful on field from the get go, in order to increase the $$$ value team could be flogged off for a few seasons later.

They were given best talent available all paid for by the league. No years of struggle whilst developing talent like GWS had to endure.

When you see WSW crowds when they're not doing so well, you can understand why the A-league was so desperate to create instant success. Will end up like Melbourne Storm I suspect. Instant success however hardly embraced by the wider community, even decades later.

Again earned success? You're hilarious

Just about everything you said there is a load of bullcrap.

Post Hoc you mind explaining the first 3 months of the WSW existence and where the foundation club players came from? What leg ups did the Wanderers get from the FFA?

I dont pretend to know everything on WSW like Bea, who thinks he knows it all about the WSW but has no clue as you can see from his reply.....

Btw nice try Bea, you come on here once every 6 months and still manage to know fuck all about your subject matter, Best to just stay quite if you dont know the subject matter champ lol

Sorry I have been away eels, been licking my wounds after the grandfinal loss. LOL

You are 100% correct, I find it hilarious the claim by beaussie that the Wanderers were set up to succeed.

I would suggest beaussie watches this little doco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwJS6l7treI

The Wanderers were not started until 17 May 2012 when Gorman (now head of the Sharks) was appointed CEO and Popa was named as the coach. No players were signed no name, no ground no colours.

That didn't come along until the end of June, 25 June when the name the Wanderers was announced with logo, ground and colours. And 3 players were signed. (Season starts in October)

So with 12 weeks to the start of the season the club at 3 players (club should have 23) most of the domestic players were contracted to the existing clubs, the wanderers were basically made up of players the other teams had rejected, their contracts had expired or they were released.

So to even think they were set up to win by the FFA was just plain stupid. They went even further and actually became the first Australian team to win the Asian Champions league with close to that same squad. Champion team versus team of champions etc

So eelsofwest was 100% correct in his earlier statements

[AFLcrap1]

Of course he was correct .
The fumblers just can't seem to accept any negativity about AFL

Especially Aflol in Syd

[Xman]

You either dont read BF or view it with rose coloured glasses. AFL bashing is more common than the cold over there

Commiserations on the final loss Post Hoc, What the WSW have achieved in such a short time is amazing, you should be proud.



Like i thought the WSW have earned there spot in Western Sydney, the GWS Giants have been given every advantage possible to try and make them successful but to no avail.

How any sports fan can follow the AFL in sydney knowing that the competition is rigged is beyond me. =D>

[AFLcrap1]

& that nails it in one .
A compromised comp .

Yet despite your and other equally ignorant and deluded fools they do and now have 12500 members and an average over 10k crowds looks to me like it's working!

[Swans4ever]

& that nails it in one .
A compromised comp .

Yet the last 3 GF's been won by a Vic side and the comp is more even than the last 10 yrs!

[ParraEelsNRL]

The same vic side eh.

LOL

[AFLcrap1]

More even .
What fucking planet are you on ?

After 2 1/2 RDs 1/6th of the comp was quoted at 1000-1
Basket cases .
With no hope .

But it's very even .

& it does not fucking matter if the same side has won for the last twenty yrs .
It's a compromised comp .
Teams are given on field advantages that others are not .

You can argue against that all you want .but it's the truth .

It's not a level playing field .
It's compromised by AFL house TRYING to ensure certain teams do well .

absolutly its more even. Any one of about 8 teams could win the GF this year. Sides that were expected to well are struggling. There isnt a clear standout for the first time in many years.

Crowds are up 5% despite the big 4 clubs being crap. Clearly a sign of a more even comp this year

[AFLcrap1]

Lol .
Compromised .
That is all
