About this listen

Alex Williams is a massive fan and ambassador for the GWS GIANTS. His NRL loving mate Brandon McClelland is a sports fanatic, born in Western Sydney and knows nothing about the AFL. Taking his GIANTS ambassadorial duties far too seriously, Alex has now bullied his actor mate Brandon to do a podcast about their journey to discover the best pubs and eateries in Western Sydney to watch away AFL games. With episodes dropping every Wednesday, we see the AFL through a new lens as Brandon questions the culture and obscurities of the game. This isn’t a pod where we just sit and chat through the weekly match ups, it’s built around social activities and engaging with our friends and audience. Let the search for the best ‘Away Venues’ in Western Sydney begin!

We’d love for people to jump on board from the start and follow our journey in Western Sydney. Want to support the show? Got a favourite pub to watch AFL at? Send a voice memo with your suggestions or question to Theymightbecomegiants@gmail.com.

    The Shinboner of the Century

    The boys are shell shocked after the absolute smashing at the hands of the Bulldogs, but are happy to be facing the Kangaroos down at our home away from home, Manuka Oval in Canberra.

    To commemorate the occasion Alex tells Brandon the tale of 'The Shinboner of the Century' Glenn Archer.

    The Legend of Mr Football
    Jul 29 2025

    Brandon an Alex revel in the fact the Giants have ended the Swans season by their own hand. However, now their other eternal rival awaits at Marvel Stadium in the Bulldogs and the Giants will be without some key players for the pivotal clash.

    To commemorate the occasion Alex tells the tale of (arguably) the greatest ever bulldog, EJ "Ted" Whitten or Mr Football himself.

    Join us on Thursday night at The Guildford Hotel against those dastardly Bulldogs
