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.

    What Even Is A GWS!?
    Apr 21 2026

    After the Giants were forced by Zeus' lightning to prolong their proverbial spanking at a soggy SCG, Alex and Brandon breakdown what went right and what went awfully on Saturday night.

    Then it's a trip to start of the 20th century where a fierce rivalry between Carlton and Collingwood is brewing, and threatens to turn into all out war.

    Then some thought provoking listener mail about what really is a GWS?

    Brandon has returned and The Giants are back in the wins with a cruisy victory over the hapless tigers at Gather Round and now focus shifts to our hated cross town rivals Sydney. Can the Giants take down the high flying Swans?

    After last week's episode all about the incredible contribution of Italian Australians to the sport, Alex deeps dive into the iconic Berto "Dippa" DiPierdomenico.

    The Italian Job
    Apr 7 2026

    Brandon is away again so in celebration of Gather Round we invited our resident Adelaide fan Nick English on to walk us through Gather Round. Nick also comes from a very proud Italian heritage so he gives us the history of the extraordinary contributions of Italian Australians in the AFL.

    After a much needed bye the Giants are back to take on Richmond in South Australia. Make sure you gather around the Guildford Hotel with us this Sunday at 3:15pm to watch us get back in the wins.
