Massive coup for the Giants. Spotless no longer want to pay for the naming rights so the Giants have made it all about themselves, and it would seem they are paying themselves for the naming rights.

Ahm…I think you mean…we’re paying for the naming rights.

Great move by the AFL. GWS are a very marketable side.

This will make Dev Smiths “graveyard” comment even more nasty haha.

Before the stadium was Spotless Stadium, then the SSS , but I think we got the SSS last year, so no doubt they did the usual and hired a marketing consultancy for $100k plus to come up with a new name.
Guess what the marketing gurus came up with. Something really original. Imagine them pitching it, orange storyboards, orange tarps for the vacant seats, and all the marketing speak mumbo jumbo.

Should have got a beer company on board, and called it Oranjeboom Stadium

Was dropped early in the season. I’m almost certain…

Thanks for this. Clearly favours us.

when Ben Simmons is sharing Tippa gifs, you know he’s a real one

Based on Doe’s screenshot above, it appears very likely.

He had a very quiet game in round 3, and didn’t play round 4.

Gee, he came back with a vengeance after that.

Gun.

Also… I’m pretty confident we’ll win this game.

It won’t mean anything, as round 1 rarely does, but we’ll win.

It would mean 4 less points required for finals.

Aside from 4 less points required for finals… It won’t mean anything.

We could show ruthless efficiency…

Well yeah, obviously the ruthless efficiency. I mean, the ruthless efficiency goes without saying, doesn’t it?

But aside from the 4 less points required for finals, and the ruthless efficiency, and the aqueducts…

Must win after Saints we have Melbourne

2-1 would be a good result.

Oh, absolutely. Just this once I’m going to buy it though.
