GWS is a bit of a conundrum Living in Sydney I struggle to see how they will ever build enough support to have a large membership and draw big crowds Some may have said the same about the Swans but the key difference is that there are a significant number of AFL supporters in Sydney that have moved here from interstate and adopted the Swans as their new team or second team. Most of these people have moved here through work commitments and I'd say the vast majority are living in the eastern suburbs, lower north shore, northern beaches or upper north shore - hardly any would be living in the western suburbs and therefore have zero interest in GWS The west of Sydney is growing quickly and that is where the population is expanding most rapidly - the problem for GWS and the AFL is that few if any of these people have any interest in the AFL. Most would be more interested in soccer or the 2 rugby codes If it's going to work out for GWS my guess is it will take a very long time - question is do the AFL have the patience to persist that long.

Not heading to GWS Giants land highly-regarded Tiger as next coach (msn.com)

Age reporting that NM trying to allure Peter Jackson to lead their resurgence under Clarko

COVID bubble - doubt they will want the squad mingling at this stage

Hopefully it’s a bit like the 1987 game -blew them away Personally I think they are real threat to us they seem to match up well and their backs are pretty underrated We need to bring our best and I hope it’s a very very pro MFC crowd just like it was in ‘87 If I remember correctly it was T Viney that kicked the first game that day to get us going - maybe J Viney this time

Saints worse loss for year Against the swans in Sydney - 51 pts

A COMPLETE SHELLACKING

Hopefully Brisbane's finals aspirations going up in smoke

Love a win and love to see The Barometer driven deep into the Gabba turf Go Dees

Agree its a long shot but you don't get if you don't ask

Hopefully our list management guys are on the same page

Tom De Koning at blues - his contract expires end of this year I believe - would probably prefer him than pay big bucks for Grundy

Mate just told me its confirmed

Agree I watched the Casey game and he copped a lot of physical pressure and it was a complete slog

And it’s going to be lovely and sunny this coming weekend in Sydney 😀 anyway

I watched Collingwood v Sydney yesterday and can tell you based on what I saw Carlton will win next week Fremantle are no certainty to beat GWS on the road either Irrespective of all that we have beaten the Lions in our last 3 encounters - granted not at the Gabba but two were on neutral grounds Our players know what needs to happen We need to shut Neale down and our back six need to play well - if we do that we are a very good chance

Maybe Ed said they were all Souv and no laki - who knows, they generally are a pretty dim lot

Big fan of the Frittata but he was very poor on sat night - has plenty of credits but would not want to repeat that effort again IMO Didn't see the Casey game yet but J Smith in the F50 still has appeal to me - had Melk not performed well he would be a chance

A Cripps bump in their captains run perhaps ?

Impressed you managed girls and not Sheilas BBO - nice work

Well to the best of my knowledge he has yet to make a decision - at least officially

The ladies start at 4.40 BBO 😀

No we wouldn't - if he is in the best 22 players - he plays

Thanks IB13 - agree that Kerr looks to have some ability

I was thinking Harmes to play the defensive forward role in place of Melksham not a midfield role
