News Giants in the Media

This covers a pretty wide area of discussion, but is quite interesting:

Marking out history — how to take a speccie with Harry Himmelberg

From Jesaulenko to Modra, Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson, take a deep dive into the art of the speccie, including a chat with the man who's hot favourite to take out this year's mark of the year.

www.abc.net.au

Cody and Sean would be the best AFL writers going around, they do such good work every week, this week and all of their other stuff are well worth a read!

Apparently Toby Greene was interviewed on sunrise this morning, but I can't find it online.

The club tweeted about it ... maybe they'll eventually put the interview up.

A decent and respectful article on Toby's 200 games.

2025? 2024 for contending for the flag!

2023. About to go on a run. Won’t lose another.

Where were Collingwood and Sydney at this time last year.
Feels like they weren't too different to where we were.

Where were Collingwood and Sydney at this time last year.
Feels like they weren't too different to where we were.

We appear to be similarly following Collingwood albeit a couple of months behind. Very similar circumstances (new coach, game plan based on pressure and fast ball movement, lost players with cap dump).
They had a losing record early in the first third of the season then it started to really click and as the season went on they were off the charts. Would be great if we continue to follow like this

Let’s hope that Bartel gets the AFL Head of Footy job - will be good for the developing markets

Well ... hopefully.

Hopefully, he remembers his time at a Sydney club and doesn't revert to being Vic-centric.

Riley Beveridge takes you inside the Giants' review after their tight loss to the Tigers

An interesting read and a cool insight into the club. Is it just me or are we getting a lot more exposure through the afl.com media this year?

A lot more reasonably positive exposure for sure …. Kingsley being from the tigers probably helps with the narrative

Gil gone…

Gil gone…

Andrew Dillon was at giants hq last week meeting with Dave Matthews about issues the giants would like to see resolved for footy in NSW.

I know for a fact that giants admin weren't happy with Gill and are glad he is moving on, hopefully Dillon is an improvement. He has been at giants hq a number of times in the past 6 months so hopefully he gets a good picture of what's needed.

And what is it we are looking for?

 

[Orange crush]

COLA and the restoration of our original academy boundaries

 

[Bjo187]

And what is it we are looking for?

I don't have those details at the moment, but I gather it would include better fixturing and more promotion for the giants in Sydney, as well as the potential for money for relocation/retention costs for staff and players from interstate.

 

[Brave New World]

And what is it we are looking for?

In an interview on 3AW about 6 May 2023 “GWS chief Dave Matthews has revealed the Giants have asked the AFL for extra rookie spots on their list and scrapping the bidding system for emerging players in western Sydney. “We’ve actually got a submission in with the AFL,” he told 3AW Football.

Dave Matthews apparently went for the AFL top job. It would of been ideal for us for him to get the gig. He no doubt would of supported the NSW and QLD clubs as growth areas.
Cola
Cola for the Soft Cap
Academy zone changes and access
Promotion/marketing of the game
Junior AFL support
General growth of the game
Etc….

Gill has done little to support the game up here.
NSW has 1/3 of the country’s population with only 2 teams represented. Huge potential the AFL have done nothing with

Why hasn't Gil been supportive ?
Expansion wasn't his idea?
He should be supportive, especially grassroots level as nobody can complain about that I would have thought.

Too busy with AFLX - it's been vive la vfl since he was appointed

 

[Powkid]

Dave matthews and Andrew Dillon have both admitted the AFL have dropped the ball in NSW and need to do more to grow, increase talent pool, bring back crowds etc.
I have a friend who works for AFL NSW and he told me the AFL are in process of creating about a dozen new positions that will be based in Sydney whose purpose is to grow the game, support the Giants and Swans as well as help improve our crowds amongst other things. He assumes marketing and strategy type roles. I’d say Andrew Dillon is behind this since his promotion.
