GIANT SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR GWS IN AFL GRAND FINAL

Members of NSW Parliament show their support 

for the GWS Giants ahead of the AFL Grand Final!

Sydney CBD and Western Sydney are shining bright with an orange glow this week in support of the Greater Western Sydney Giants’ bid for their first AFL Premiership trophy.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge, the WestConnex, Parramatta Town Hall and Sydney Olympic Park will be lit in the Giants' signature orange ahead of tomorrow night’s Toyota AFL Grand Final, bringing the spirit of GWS to the city and beyond.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the wash of orange across Sydney and Parramatta will bring energy, determination and success to the team.

“It’s fantastic to see the Harbour City get behind the Giants by wearing its heart – and the GWS colours – on its sleeve, and we hope this extra boost will get the team over the line on Saturday,” Ms Berejiklian said.

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said it was a hallmark moment for the newest club in the league and the community that has backed them.

“It’s incredible that the mighty Greater Western Sydney Giants have secured their debut grand final berth in just eight years in the league. But the foundation and history of this club runs deep throughout the community of Western Sydney, from junior players and officials, to volunteers and die-hard supporters,” Mr Ayres said.

Sydney Olympic Park will become the Giants’ official live site as the battle against Richmond unfolds. From 12-6pm on Saturday the family-friendly, no alcohol live site in Cathy Freeman Park will include inflatable activities for kids, picnic space, beanbags, a live broadcast and nearby food offerings. Surrounding pubs and licensed cafes will also support the Giants.
