Geez, more teeth than brain cells.

The Giants travelled outside of NSW/ACT 11 times in 2023, Collingwood travelled outside of Melbourne six times. As was already explained, Canberra wasn't included in that travel number.
Factor travel distance as well they have also had to travel further, and that's why WA clubs have traveled the most because of mainly distance, since they are the most remote clubs in the comp

It's to help grow the game in Canberra the potential team 20, just because you don't do it doesn't mean that you can go target clubs that need the money, the AFL also probably gives good incentives to these clubs, they have to do to make sure they don't go under at the moment Canberra is important to the giants, Interstate teams have to travel further even with out the home games they sell
They are guaranteed by the AFL. In all honesty they are zero percent chance of going under

And as explained his call of more interstate trips than the pies have had in 9 seasons is factually incorrect.

The Pies got the biggest home and away crowd in Sydney 20 years ago. It isn’t growing the game or helping the giants at all.
exactly why they need to keep growing the game up there to get a new generation of supporters in Sydney that will support the sydney based clubs, they are taking advantage of the week the NRL are not in aus to get more eyes on the game it will be only sport there that week end more people will be keen to go

So was your call that GWS "never get over 10k", despite their last game getting over 10k.

You were both exaggerating to prove a point.

But what's not an exaggeration is that Collingwood, on average, travels much less than the rest of the competition. So complaining about travel makes you sound ridiculous.

They averaged 9k in Sydney when you take out the Swans outlier

It is not growing the game if the attendance is predicated off fans travelling up from Melbourne. It just papers over the cracks. Also if they were after attendance to grow the game they could have got 60k at the Olympic stadium next door. I mean the idea is to get eyes on footy while the NRL is in Vegas. You could say it was the perfect opportunity for the Giants to get the highest home and away crowd in Sydney for any sport in 2024
