Do the Western Sydney locals play Aussie Rules? There doesn't appear to be any grassroots support and without that there is no point in having an AFL team. Same with Gold Coast. I reckon the AFL would be better off putting money into the local footy community in Western Sydney to create a base. Grow the game that way rather than having an AFL team with no supporters
As an expansion team the Giants have been pretty good. They've played a decent brand, been mostly hard at it and were close for a couple of years. Their senior players are letting them down at the moment. Kelly needs to be cut loose and Coniglio has regressed badly. Greene is a fantastic player but has big discipline issues. They need to improve their list to challenge again but they are not a lost cause. They have built up a good rivalry with the Swans as well.
Cameron has been a good coach but has outstayed his welcome. They need a new coach with a fresh approach. Will make a difference.
And a trivial/not trivial point. They need to change their colors. That orange strip looks terrible
