I very much hope the Giants lose some players this off-season.
I am all for growing football in Western Sydney (and elsewhere), but I don't think giving them a ton of free premierships when they are young is necessarily the right path. But I would like to see them win one perhaps in 2018 after some heartbreaking finals losses.

I'm glad I was wrong, go Doggies!
Well in that case I'm calling it first: Brisbane are going to win the premiershipTo be fair, it didn't say "in 2016"
They will be scary good next season after this loss......

I dont know about that. The Doggies just showed they are well and truly beatable.
People have made them out to be indestructible because of all the talent across the park but first round picks don't translate to super team.
Bad luck Perthboy at least you gave it the good ol' college try.

Good game of footy.
All part of our ongoing development.
In the end, we weren't able to replicate the Eagles' feat of making a grand final in their 5th season.
Maybe we didn't get enough help from the AFL?

Could go one of two ways - they are steeled by this and dominate the next few years winning a flag or two. Or they drop their bundle because a large portion of their young players have had their sense of entitlement and destiny shattered. Jeremy Cameron was the embodiment of this attitude last night - he was the first one to gob off at every opportunity and the last one to get his hands on the ball and actually impact the game in any meaningful way. Did he even take a mark last night? One of the most inept performances from a talented key forward in recent history.
If their young and talented group learn the valuable lessons from last night, they will be an awesome team for the next few years.

Both sides hoping OP doesn't make a thread backing them next...
Oh, too late for dogs... Congrats Sydney on the 2016 flag.

But that's irrelevant to what was being discussed. In regards to resources directed towards the Giants and the AFL's agenda to ensure they have sustained success it is completely relevant to know what the mindset at AFL HQ is. They want to be THE dominant sport in the country and will do whatever they think is required to achieve that.

AFL already the biggest comp in the land.
Think your first part of your thoughts might be how it goes. Reality is that most (not all, but most) teams need to lose a final or two before they take the next step......

They want to be the dominant sport in every city/state. That's their aim.

They already have 1 foot in the GF.....
who knows how they will go in front of 100K on gf day at the G though.
Just hope its the Crows that get there as well.
I reckon a GWS v Dogs GF (AFL will want that)

I dont get the logic that team 6-4 after 10 rounds is likely to make the GF. It's about making finals first. They need to win 7-12 to be assured of making finals. It's usual to overrate the previous years winner.
The teams 8-2 need to win 5-12 and this is a much more likely proposition. Who's in form going into finals remains to be seen and will be very important, but enough of the season has been played to give an indication of who is most likely to be at the top of the ladder.
Seriously?
There's been a half dozen "The Sky Is Falling!!! It's All So Unfair" dribble-filled threads since this one. Why bump this?

They aren't as good this year (so far) as I thought theyd be. Yes, they are 8-2, but with a percentage of 117.9, they aren't blowing teams away. As bad as Richmond were in throwing the game against them, even us who I consider a mid table side were able to challenge and almost beat them at Spotless. Any other decent side, such as a top 4 side would have beaten them.
I'm not sure their form this year so far screams premiership.

Having 10 regulars out of the side with injury might have something to do with it.

The value of this thread is still not as good as this.

Yeh, but you should have the depth to cover it. It's not a lack of talent that is affecting the Giants.
