Not fan of the look but do like that we are the first team to have a female themed mascot for our AFLW team

The Thunder unveiled Freya last year and are, I think, still the only WBBL team with their own mascot.

Western Sydney - leading the way

I do have a slight issue with the name though.

I just end up thinking about a 70 year old Maurice Chevallier singing “Thank heaven for little girls” which is way more creepy in 2017 than it obviously was in 1958, and not really appropriate for a tough women’s footy team.

Followed by the line from History of the World Part 1
“We don’t even have our own language....”

I just get it as "G G" which is probably the intent.

All for the kids. Great to see.

As an aside I think the person in the G-man suit is female. Something about the mannerisms. In today's world, sadly, probably safer for someone who wanders around hugging kids.

The person in the G-Man suit varies from appearance to appearance - having worn the suit and been G-Man on more than one occasion I know this to be true.

It’s a big, hefty suit that gets bloody hot bloody quickly (and the fan in the head has been broken for a long time) I’m not saying that a woman couldn’t wear it, but it’s usually a young bloke from either the academy or a local club.

I bow to your knowledge on the Topic. Apologies to whoever wears it.

I can back that up. Mascot headwear is a ridiculous thing to wear. Have a mate who used to work for Thunder and had Thor come to our junior preso. Helped him don the suit backstage and he told me to try on the helmet. It was so hot in that, even for the minute I had it on.

I'm just wanting to know if it's Thor in drag. He has form regarding Giants ...
