GWS Giants’ banner slogan a comeback to Dogs banner from last year’s preliminary final

THE Giants cheer squad waited seven months to reveal their biting comeback to the Bulldogs preliminary final banner. But they might have been trumped straight away.

IT TOOK seven months but the Giants cheer squad has fired back at the Bulldogs banner from last year’s preliminary final.

GWS is still smarting after the Dogs scored a famous six-point win to move into the Grand Final.

Before that match the Dogs ran through a banner that took a stab at the AFL’s newest team. It read: Our club was born in blood and boots, not in AFL focus groups.

They had to wait until Round 5 the next season for a chance at a comeback, but the Giants didn’t miss the opportunity.

The only problem is it was immediately trumped by the Bulldogs banner for this game, another gem from Dogs banner writer Danny McGinlay.

Keep an eye out in Round 21 when these teams meet again to see what the Giants fans come up with to counter that.
