As the Sydney Swans and the GWS Giants meet on Saturday, two pubs and their supporters prepare for the game of a lifetime.
Sydney was once unified under a single AFL banner, but in 2012 the Giants invaded from the west and carved the city in two. Swans territory retreated to the glittering coastline and a bitter rivalry was sparked that will burn bright when the two sides meet in a qualifying final at the SCG on Saturday.
The rift between the teams is so strong, says Waters’, that even his own Swans supporting mother would “never be caught dead in a GWS pub”. The Dolphin, an upscale pub that serves wood-fired pizzas and a speciality game day cocktail, the Swan Song Spritz, is synonymous with Surry Hills. It’s also become a favourite haunt of the opposing team.
