Probably like the MCG - the official capacity I don't think has ever been met. I think they try to calculate standing room numbers - and this would mean people packed in like sardines. Who knows.
MCG clocks 100k for GF's usually and if not in the high 99k's

what is the capacity of the G? Had a look - 100000 at the moment apparently. I do believe that official standing room tickets are no more - am not sure if there is even standing room designated areas - so that may account for it.

pass 10 GF crowds at MCG Are (the 100k crowds are like 10-20 over) so looks like standing maybe...

100014 (2019)
100022 (2018)
100021 (2017)
99981 (2016)
98632 (2015)

If there's one club that the AFL won't re-locate it's the Giants!

No white flag here. Shepherd knows how important clicks at the gate are, and showing big crowds will bring out supporters.

Mind you - the real problem for the Giants is getting wins on the board. That's what they really need. Shepherd should pay heed to that and it starts by providing more incentives for players to want to come to the club.
Dude, they made a grand final a few years back and played finals not so long ago - so thinking their results are not the issue impacting crowds and support. I believe the AFL stuffed up royally - with the name, with Canberra, with the moving from one place to another - people in western sydney I do not believe see it as their team. simple as that.

Damn, I agree, made some early mistakes and kept repeating them….need to be western sydney or accept they are not.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.

2019 is a long time ago given what has happened since, and on the day the Giants went absolutely missing. It reflects. The here and now in 2022 - the results are not there. Simple as that.

But I'm not going to argue with you on the general point. From the start I said Sydney is a one team town. The market isn't there. Pre pandemic in 2019 when they made the GF their home average was higher than St George Illawarra and Cronulla.

It would take a lot of convincing to establish that you could be fair, and your statements following “fair” are not fair, rational or reasonable.

The Swans have had a huge impact on the NSW sporting market, their success has encouraged dozens and dozens of grass root clubs to spring up all over the state, Many towns north and west of Sydney that previously had no Australian rules team now are playing the game and lovin' it !
The Giants haven't had the impact as expected.
They need to change their tactics and concentrate only in the metropolitan area, also a name change that reflects something Sydney might help !
The Canberra games have attracted some very good crowds, including the night it snowed ! This market needs to be addressed somehow .

The Swans have taken over Rugby League for popularity on Sydney’s north shore, eastern suburbs and inner west. That’s massive.

The AFL and the Giants need to drop the bloody ridiculous GWS name and just be called Western Sydney and focus on bloody Western Sydney. It will take time just like the Swans to build up a loyal supporter base and strong membership. Talk of home games at the SCG for the Giants is more stupid thinking. Tony Shepherd what were you thinking even entertaining that thought bubble? SCG and Venues NSW conflict of interest perhaps Tony?

The GWS name I never liked, wasn’t fond of the giants either, but with that established…they didn't establish themselves very well. Lost their identity…more confident of the Suns survival than the giants. Need to re-establish themselves as Western Sydney…and stay there.
