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
GWS have been given the best young AFL players all over the country and basically have still failed to make a mark..
Just about everything you said there is a load of bullcrap.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
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
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
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.
Swans
I'm not wrong, I know I am right. We had to cap our membership because of Stadium size (if we didn't seperate season tickets from members then we wouldn't have to do that) as it stands we have a waiting list of 2-3 k waiting for membership
