Fresh from their Superbowl triumph, the New York Giants have sent their support to the GWS GIANTS ahead of their inaugural season in the AFL.

The NY Giants Assistant General Manager Kevin Abrams told the GIANTS website: “Fans love a winner but I think they are willing to be patient with a hard working team that shows steady signs of improvement, potential and hope for success.”

GIANTS General Manager of Football Operations, Graeme Allan and National Recruitment and List Manager, Stephen Silvagni have spent time with Abrams during visits to New York.

The GWS GIANTS were quick to pass on their congratulations and Abrams responded with advice and encouragement as the GIANTS head into their first season of AFL.

“I’ve always gotten the sense that the Australian sporting culture is uniquely deep and genuine. I’ve also had the good fortune to spend time with many people in the AFL who have visited New York over the years to discuss best practices in our industry and without exception they are top shelf individuals.

“Along with the quality and excitement of the AFL game, I really believe that fans will be patient. Graeme Allen, Stephen Silvagni and the rest of the GWS staff will give them a club that they can be proud to support.”

Abrams’ Giants have moulded themselves into one of sport’s most professional outfits and GWS are sure to pick up many of their qualities as they continue their rise.

“As a group, our players and coaches are a very focused, resilient and battle tested group,” said Abrams

“I think that a team takes on the personality of its head coach and that is certainly the case with this group.

“All year long we preached ‘Finish’ with respect to everything we do, be it practice, 4^th quarters or the season and we were successful in doing so.

“We never varied from our plan and our beliefs. We stayed the course, even through some rough patches, which is much easier to do when there is trust throughout your program.”
