    Oppo Camp Non Giants AFL discussion

    Brisbane and Hawthorn should do the right thing and draw.

    Women's Footy AFLW Season 2024 - Congrats Tarni & Zarlie 22U22 TEAM 2024!

    Is anything happening with Tom Wills Oval? I think that would be the best location for AFLW games. Henson Park is convenient for me personally -- a short stroll to Gadigal or Central Stations, 7 or 5 minutes to Sydenham Station, then an easy walk -- but is inconvenient for many out west...

    Play Nice 2024 AFL and State League Attendance

    I want them to stay in Homebush and think they will. -- You get a better view of the game at Engie Stadium. Even the lesser seats give a decent view, whereas at the SCG it seems you're almost below ground level in some parts (you get a good view from the stands at both stadiums). -- Homebush is...

    Review 2024 Season

    I think they are every chance to be there or there abouts again next year. I hate to bring up umpiring because it just looks like sour grapes and also detracts from the opponent who is very worthy of staying alive, but it seemed pretty clear from the way the game was umpired that the AFL is...

    Autopsy First Semi-Final – GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions, Saturday September 14, 7.40pm AEST, Engie Stadium

    I love our main game style. It is great fun to watch, which is important in building our crowds. I don't want it to change much. But winning is also important for building our crowds, and to win we need to improve our B plan for those periods in the game when it is necessary to preserve energy...

    Play Nice 2024 AFL and State League Attendance

    The AFL may not mind the capacity constraint for now. Repeated SCG sellouts would nudge new fans towards attending Giants games instead.

    Review First Semi-Final – GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions, Saturday September 14, 7.40pm AEST, Engie Stadium

    I counted the seats on the Ticketmaster map, bay by bay. I'd done it previously, I think for a home and away game, but this time there is more detail in the map (mainly the rooms). What I counted previously, I double-checked this time. The total number of seats shown on the map, at least...

    Review First Semi-Final – GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions, Saturday September 14, 7.40pm AEST, Engie Stadium

    For anyone trying to guess at the progress of ticket sales, here is a breakdown of the stadium capacity to the extent that it can be gleaned from Ticketmaster's seating map. Guessing the progress is still difficult, of course, because it is not always clear if greyed out seats have been...

    Prediction Where will we finish in 2024

    Like others, I'm thinking 2nd > 4th > 3rd. But none of these positions would be terrible. We can play a home prelim in Sydney by winning in week 1. Failing that, if we finish 2nd or 3rd, we can play a prelim in Sydney (albeit as the away team) if the Swans win in week 1 and we win at home in...

    2023 Crowds and TV/Streaming

    So, will Nine Entertainment’s Australian Financial Review report 'AFL grand final thriller trounced by Matildas still outrates NRL grand final thriller' or will its independent journalists let that one through to the keeper?

    Prediction GWS THE FUTURE

    If the AFL plans to bring in Canberra as a twentieth team after Tasmania as the nineteenth (which hopefully is the case), the current giants situation probably makes sense. Sharing giants games between western Sydney and Canberra helps ride out the 20+ years it takes to seed support in western...

    Preview Round 1– GWS Giants vs Geelong, Saturday 21st March 2020, Giants Stadium, 7.25pm

    It's because the minor premier had the right to challenge if anyone other than the minor premier won in week 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_finals_system#Second_amended_Argus_system

    Season 2020 & the money if cancelled

    The longer the situation lasts, the more we are likely to see these kinds of calls coming from industry in general. The limits on a currency-issuing government are not financial. It can spend in nominal terms without limit (which is not to say that it should). The relevant questions concern...

    Game Day Second Semi-Final - Lions v Giants, Saturday 14th September, Gabba, 7.25pm

    For people considering shelling out hard earned to get to Melbourne to watch a prelim at prelim prices, it should be a great experience in many ways, but just be aware that the game is likely to be manufactured to a certain degree one way or the other. The umpiring we get may partly be...
