For everything Greater Western Sydney!
Welcome to /r/GWSgiants - made for fans of the GWS Giants. News, highlights, jokes and Jeremy Cameron; this community is designed as a GWS version of /r/AFL. Rules are pretty much the same as /r/AFL. Have fun posting, and play nice.

I havn't had the opportunity to be fully across the aflw this season like in previous years so i might be missing something incredibly obvious, but we seem to be very poor...again.
This season we are 1- 7 (plus 1 draw) with a percentage of 70.9
Last year we finished 2-8 with a percentage of 50.8
We started this season really well with a 72 to 9 win, we have had a few close losses but our last three losses have been by 34 points, 64 points and yesterday 37 points.
Just wondering if anyone whos been across it this season could let me know what the situation is with the team, is it an injury issue or are we just comparatively that poor.
Penalising someone for a twin towers joke seems like a pretty big overstep by the AFL and something that will confuse the issue of where the line is drawn rather than clearing it up. Upholding moral and ethical standards doesn't mean stepping in every time someone engages in dark humour on a mad monday.
With culture problems and Toby not playing at his best whilst being captain, maybe it’s time for a change?
Tom carries himself really well, is a great speaker, he’s from Canberra and always flys the flag. Or maybe (seeing as the role of captaincy seems to diminish on field performances at our club) it should be a less critical player or a veteran like Cal? I’m not saying this would fix everything but it feels like it could be a step in the right direction.
Soz for the quality of my photoshop
I know footy isn't everything but it can certainly be a big part of our lives.
Just wanted to make sure the Orange Army of Reddit is all good after a strange few weeks.
We got this!
What are everyone’s thoughts? I don’t know if I have it in me to cheer on Jake Stringer…
When do you think we will actually win a flag, every year we place top 8 I genuinely think we can win this thing. But every year some bullshit happens. After what happened this year I honestly don’t think it will be within the next 3 years
I never heard if we have any academy kids coming through this year. Anyone know?
Apologies in advance for this non-footy question, but does anyone know what is Josh Kelly's goal song? Thanks!
Perryman, Peatling, Cumming, Haynes, XO, Derksen and now there is some noise around Conor Stone and Aleer.
None would be in our top 15 players right now (except maybe Pez) yet all being offered big money and big years around the league.
Big offer from Collingwood could land us band 1 compo which is pick 15.
Not to bad?
I know with the way that finals went it is easy to wallow. But I want to know what the funniest moment, or your favourite moment was from this season?
One of mine is this stupid ass game we were forced to play in wind central, an absolute embarrassment committed by the AFL in the FINAL GAME of the season (and important for our ladder position). This moment with the ball still makes me laugh. I’ve never seen something fly in the opposite direction so much!
They couldn’t even let us have the most embarrassing way to finish an otherwise great season. /s
lmao, even
Just wanting to know as I have seen other clubs memberships become available recently but noticed the giants haven’t announced anything yet.
UP THE ORANGE TSUNAMI!
Essendon fan here, every year I'm trying to find a smoky vote getter in the Brownlow. Just curious how you think Whitfield will go as he has some pretty impressive stats? Having not watched many of the Giants games, does he take the kick ins for the team (potentially inflating his stats)? I'm guessing Hogan and Green will poll well....
Who do you think your top three vote getters will be?
I consider the Swans my second team, but after the giants v lions semi final where there we a heap of people in the crowd in Swans scarfs barracking for the lions, my nose is out of joint.
I'm going for the lions now.
