I was being sarcastic about premiership favorites and I like Gold Coast better as well. gold coast are exciting to watch with all their young talent but GWS will be the same just we havnt seen it yet

Yeh don't think i'll like GWS that much but yea... I hate Cornes and Brogan so haha
GC is great though. Gaza is a beast, plus great kids like Stanley and McKenzie.

am actually visiting their base in december, so that may bring me to not hate them, which can be said about pretty much every other club!

Being a born and bred Queenslander it is very difficult to support a NSW Based Team - Rivalry for years. In saying that I will be watching their progress with interest.

Still tossing up wether to stick with power or jump the sunk ship across to gws. like their recruiting stargety and players ect but location is the only downside

I could never ever bring myself to jump ship to a new club :-X even if I supported Power....

Do you go to many games? You wouldn't be able to go to many if you live in Adelaide and support the Giants..

Post by: RiOtChEsS on September 19, 2011, 01:12:34 AM
i really dont hate any team... i dislike several, hating would be giving them too much of myself :P

have always followed the expansion teams as i want them to succeed and expand the game...

+ 1 remain loyal unless you live in Western Sydney,  I know I commenced barracking and supporting Brisbane in 1987 when they came into the AFL (Bad news bears as we were known prior to the Fizroy merger). Prior to 1987 although a Queenslander supported North Melbourne (so still have a soft spot Roo Boys and NFM)

i jumped ship from the eagles to the roos. I was only 6 at the time though. I always find than when your team is down its always good to have a second team to support in the finals. Go Gellong

I am a dedicated Bulldogs supporter but i do like GWS aswell, I followed the reports of all their matches this year and can't wait to see them play in the AFL next year. Still i will not be changing clubs as i am a doggie for life  :)

Given I think the Giants are playing 3 games in Canberra a year, I could see them eventually becoming my 2nd team. Though deep down I'll always think they stole Tassie's spot in the AFL.
Title: Re: Any GWS Fans out there
Post by: Master Q on October 13, 2011, 11:10:53 AM
Ossie I'd love to see you switch to GWS  :P

TBH I think most people in Canberra should go for them - What team do most people in Canberra support (I know it's NRL territory).

BTW I believe Shannon Noll is going to go for GWS.
Title: Re: Any GWS Fans out there
Post by: ossie85 on October 13, 2011, 11:25:10 AM

Most Canberra locals begrudgingly go for the Swans. But the Giants have already made a bigger effort, so I expect that to swing towards them.

BUT most Canberrans aren't local :) They've come here for work from everywhere in Aus, so you have a real mixture of supporters.

Post by: AFEV on October 13, 2011, 12:30:31 PM
My spot as '2nd team' will forever be reserved for the Tassie team.

I like GC a lot more than GWS, but it'd be nice to see them (and GC) finish 17th or better next year.
But after that, no love from me.

I'm a Essendon supporter but i like GC and hope they do well. I don't think GWS will do well in the AFL sadly. They need more big bodies to lead them.
