Utterly and completely pathetic was the number of numpties there in orange tonight...
I'd say a "hard core" of 100 in the away bay (are they paid supporters? I suspect highly subsidised).
If a team on a mini-roll in their one game in the sun all year can only attract 300-400 supporters (and I use that term very loosely) then the AFL have under-estimated the challenge of building a second team on an unimaginable scale.
They have ZERO community engagement

I think that the weather probably shaved 5,000 Swans fans and perhaps 100 numpties wearing orange
I agree with MP. Would not have been more than 100 midget supporters at the ground. Very little noise when they kicked goals and I suspect quite a few Swan supports politely clapped when they did.
It was a very very cold night with a icy wind blowing straight into our faces. One of the coldest nights I have experienced at the SGC.
How on earth can they have any foundations for being a genuine club, I can really see this mob attracting some heat in future years as they become an embarrassment for the local comp.
Do they have any Canberra matches left this year? The crowds there are trending downwards towards the 5,000 mark, now that would embarrassing.....
By any stretch of the imagination it was a pitiful turnout...
geese there are a few boots being kicked into the Giants and their supporters........
I reckon its great for footy and great for sydney to have two sydney clubs, two academies.....and I love beating them
AFL is just the most wonderful sport for young boys and girls to play and it is bit by bit creeping up in numbers through out Sydney...........albeit slowly..........but the Sydney comps are improving significantly from 20yrs ago with their skill and fitness
"be tough, only when it gets tough"
I suspect that many giants supporters are swans and giants supporters and backed the swans last night...very poor turnout if this is not the case...
