GWS Giants coach Kevin Sheedy has gone on an extraordinary rant following his side's capitulation against Adelaide Crows in a bid to defend the poor crowd on show at Skoda Stadium.
The Giants were thumped by 135 points on Sunday afternoon with a crowd of just over 5,000 turning up to watch the winless side’s first home game of the year in the Olympic precinct.
Sheedy said the club didn’t have anyone from the "immigration department" handling their fan recruitment as, apparently, Western Sydney Wanderers do.
"It’s a pity because that’s how many turned up after a pretty solid performance against Essendon last week," he said.
"So, it’s just going to go and tell everybody how tough it’s going to be to build this club. It’s as simple as that.
"We don’t have the recruiting officer called the immigration department recruiting fans for Western Sydney Wanderers – we don’t have that on our side.
"We’re actually going to start up a whole new ball park and go and find fans because that’s what happens when you bring a lot of people through, channel into a country and put them into the west of Sydney and they build a club like that one year and all of a sudden they’ve got 10,000 fans and probably 20,000 going to a game."
Such was the embarrassing nature of the defeat, Adelaide forward Tom Lynch kicked more points than the Giants’ total score.
