You are right, and maybe my expectations for the giants are too high.
If you compare them to other similar clubs. Early swans, bears, gold coast and to a lesser extent Freo and Port, they arent tracking too badly.
I think the media is lot more fragmented than back in the swans early days. Back then there were 5 TV stations to watch, no netflix, basic internet only. By 7 showing the swans on TV, we got 20-30% of eyeballs in Sydney who couldnt be bothered to change channels whether they liked AFL or not.
The Lions were awesome on the weekend, however their run home is pretty tough.
Be pleased if they went all the way.
Yeah, now that we are pretty much gone, definitely would love to see the Lions take it out. They're probably my third team (Geelong second, Mum went for them.....Dad was Swans).
I enjoyed the 2001-2003 finals series immensely (except for the Lions beating us in the prelim final in '03 of course ).
Yes, who can forget that doozy of a last quarter in that prelim at ANZ. We were building towards something much greater in 05
of course. My order of preference would be 1.Swans, 2.GWS, 3.Brisbane, 4.Suns..... 16.Collingwood, 17.Western Bulldogs,
18.the yellow and brown people.
