Why has GWS done much better than Gold Coast?

[adammania9]

Both are still hopeless with the leg-ups they have received. Unbelievable neither have a flag. Look at all the other expansion teams (with the exception of Freo) that got AFL support.

So if this thread was why have both failed so miserably …probably the coaches and the poor building of culture. Yes it’s worse at the Suns but the Giants should have 2 or 3 flags by now

And please don’t say something inane like “it’s hard getting a flag”. No shit. It’s also hard getting a ridiculously awesome list and a shitlaod of great picks …for some

Should be worth noting that despite all the concessions GC in particular received to start up, their two best players right now were both results of further AFL handouts due to their poor management .

Sam Collins is a 2x B&F winner and was picked up in 2018 when GC and Carlton were allowed to list some state league players outside of the draft.

Noah Anderson was taken in 2019 from a priority pick due to their poor on field performance
