It sounds American enough to suit Sydney, which I've always assumed was an outer suburb of LA..
It's a bit of a joke for an Aussie Rules team though...


Based on what logic Psyber?


*No attack on your team Psyber*

You could say the same thing about "The Redlegs"...


No ya bloody can't! Red socks, Red Legs. Logic. Bloody Magpies when will they open a high school west of Woodville? :lol:

I don't mind the 'Giants' nickname, I think it will grow on everybody.

But personally I think Wolves would be better name, because they could play a loud wolf howl on the P.A. System when the team kicks a goal.

How awesome would that be and it would scare the opposition players too.

Yes, yes it would. An atmosphere of complete frustration and anger, just as that stupid bloody Panther at Carlunga does whenever South manage to bumble it far enough forward.

I never heard the Panther at Noarlunga, South must really stuff it up if it makes you frustrated and angry. But if GWS did it right, it would be excellent.

cant say those guernseys are appealing....they look more like an NT representative side than anything...

And to add to that, has anyone noticed that Geelong are now referred to as the 'Geelong Cats'?
