Western Bulldogs v GWS Giants - A new rivalry?

[David Schwarz]

It is like picking on the new, mouthy kid in school that's bragging about stealing your fancy four-pen, trying to make friends, when you secretly know there's no ink left in them and you were going to throw it out after science class anyway

 

[Tommycash]

I reckon the parts are in place, look forward to seeing if it happens.

You're right... Hard to hate something that isn't a threat

He never could handle a tag. Picken will own him.

Nah. Despite his shitful disappearing act and our collective feelings of contempt toward him, the guy could handle a tag. Took him a while granted, but in his last three to four seasons he won more than he lost.

As far as a GWS rivalry goes…. it's pretty meh from my point of view. They're not really on my radar to be honest.

I preferred it when you called them Gigantic Western Shitstack. It will forever be my favourite.

 

[paul scholes]

Who ?
They should set up a rivalry with a team within 700 km's where they reside.
That press release was the lamest piss weak small time attempt to set up a rivalry.
I like seeing the teams lose to whom my workmates follow, and don't know any GWS fans at work.

I'm for it. Most Bulldogs supporters already hate them for all the crap so far. The hard part will be getting their supporters to hate us.

Taking Boyd and WHE from them in two straight years should do it.

On the ball as always

Griffen disappointed me for a long time, to the point where I gave up on him thinking he was a waste of talent

Last few years though...

Not a slight for the few fibros coming through, but I fail to notice GWS most of the time, hard to get used to the new teams in weird, non-football places

Rivalry with who?

 

[TempleKelvington]

Well.....I have been banned twice now from their board for just a bit of friendly banter so I have done my bit to help create the rivalry. I guess if I go over there and offer opinion on their rumors that I could certainly upset a few more people and really set fire to it.

The hard part will be finding their supporters. Apart from some dick called Ian, all their memberships are registered with first names of Callan, Tom and Ryan.

My reaction to this is a gigantic "meh".

 

[Spiritof82]

Why have a rivalry with a manufactured club that has no history or soul and won't be in existance in 10 years time.

 

[Eastdog]

I don't really think so. Anyway I'd rather have a rivary with a Victorian club than a Micky mouse club like GWS.

 

[Beasley]

How can you have a rivalry with a team that only gets around 3000 supporters to THEIR OWN homes games?

 

[Spiritof82]

How can you have a rivalry with a team that only gets around 3000 supporters to THEIR OWN homes games?

And 90% of those are supporters of the opposition club

 

[Eastdog]

We have over 100 years of history and they have 0 history pretty much.

Hope they don't forget their name tags when visiting the kiddies out in Wastelands

That Ian bloke is pretty reasonable .

That's the sad reality isn't it. Where are the teams lining up to be rivals with us? We've had 90 years in this league to manufacture/create at least one - yet none exist.

After we go back-to-back-to-back, they'll all be in the queue.

Griff won their 3k time trial, interesting, dont think he ever beat Cross or even Boyd when he was here, although he was injured this year when he would've been a chance to beat Boyd. Anyone remember how he went in the 2013 pre-season?
