Greater Western Sydney (a dynasty to rival the Hawks)

The Dees could have the so called dynasty under Northey and Balme,it all goes down to how the club is run and whether we choose the right sort of players. Under Neeld we thought we were getting something special instead we got a disaster,we picked up plenty of rejects as no one of quality wanted to play for us. Re-build times ……. blah blah.

Do I need to say more…………………………..

    This is straying off-topic, but do you think Sheedy would have taken the same "type" of players as we recruited under Bailey? Think about it.

    No he wouldn't. He was bitter and half senile but he wouldn't have cleared out all the experience. Dad's Army? Bailey wanted kids kids kids to the point where you wondered if he'd end up on a police watch list.

    I can't imagine Sheedy drafting small/skinny outside players like Morton, Blease, Strauss, Maric, Gysberts, Cook hell even Watts.

    Sheedy had nothing to do with who they drafted and didn't even know his own players...

    True story, when Phil Davis went up to talk to Sheedy at breakfast early in the piece he (Sheedy) was looking for a pen to sign him an autograph. Someone had to tell him Davis was his co captain, not a fan...

    Happy for the dogies, just shows that a real team can beat a manufactured one, despite the level of manipulation on the part of the AFL.

    Hope we can play them for the flag next year, what a game that would be.

    I've heard from a current giants player that the cultute up there isn't very good, plenty of playing favourites going on 

  • Quote

    The problem I've got is that the Giants will lose players that aren't getting a game and continue to bring more talent in through the draft. They will get picks for McCarthy, Stuart, Marchbank, Hoskin-Elliot etc etc. 

    Theyve just made a prelim final and over the past few years have lost Tyson, Hombsch, Frost, Treloar, O'Rourke, Boyd, Miles, McCarthy, four blokes to Carlton. 

    Where does it bloody end......

    Because they have had so many picks they can take a risk in the draft on a smokey like Lobb. Other clubs can't afford to do this.

    I hope your right in saying the cultures no good up there. When they eventually do bottom out and it will happen I hope their players look forward to playing infront of crowds of 5000 or less.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
