What are the implications of dropping the 'G' from GWS?
What did you think of the idea of dropping the G from GWS, Phil? Probably the letter that I wasn't expecting to lose, Gerard, just because everything's a G. And I guess we could just lean into the Giants, obviously. I must admit, I always just thought if it was going to go anywhere, it was just going to become the Giants, Gerard, and you would just become even broader than just Western Sydney.
Yeah. I probably just need to hear a better reason why you would drop the G at this stage, I think. We're splitting heads if we think that's going to be the difference. And maybe what it does is maybe does it narrow the focus? Maybe. I'm not sure. But I don't think it really matters, Jared. I think it's a non-issue. I think the bigger issue is do we have the right plan?
Do we have the right resources to execute it? And do we have the level of commitment required to do so? That's the real question. The G or the W or whatever it is, Jared, doesn't matter as much. Yeah, so...
When it all started and we were taken out on buses and shown where the heart of the Giants was going to be, it's not really that though, is it? Does it have a geographic base? Does it need a geographic base?
No, I don't think it does, Joe. I think the key is we're in the community and that's the bit that we've got to keep fronting up. And I think that's one bit that sometimes the Victorians don't quite see is on a Tuesday night you might finish training at, call it, 3.30 and then you're driving an hour and a half west to go to a Foothills or a Campbelltown or even further west
clinic with, you know, for two hours and then you're driving back an hour and a half to the training facility and that training facility is at Homebush. And so Western City is so big and sparse. So like for us, At the Giants, that is, it's about getting out there and being in the community. And whether there's a border or a name, it doesn't really matter. It's about being in the community.
And, yeah, maybe the G or the no G defines a little bit where the border is. But at the end of the day, we've got to get out to the community. We've got to spread the game. And to do so, we need time and resources.
