Sydney Derby (AFL)


The Sydney Derby, also known as the Battle of the Bridge,〔http://www.gwsgiants.com.au/news/2013-03-13/battle-of-the-bridge〕 is an Australian rules football rivalry match between the Sydney Swans and Greater Western Sydney, who both participate in the Australian Football League (AFL). The newest local derby in the AFL, the first derby was held in 2012, following the introduction of Greater Western Sydney to the AFL. The best performed player in each derby is awarded the Brett Kirk Medal. The Swans have a 7–1 advantage over the Giants. Sydney has generally dominated most of the rivalry, winning seven of the eight matches by an average of 67.42 points,〔http://afltables.com/afl/teams/allteams/sydney_derby.html〕 with the Giants' solitary win coming in round 1 of the 2014 season.
==Background==
Kevin Sheedy, inaugural coach of the Greater Western Sydney Giants has said he wants to turn the Sydney Derby into "the biggest rivalry in Australian sport" and also argued that the clash should rather be referred to as the ''Battle of the Bridge'' - in reference to the ANZAC Bridge (regarded as the gateway to Sydney's Inner West). The Swans opposed the name, arguing the name implied they were only an Eastern Suburbs club.〔(Sheedy stokes Swans-Giants rivalry ) – heraldsun.com.au. Published 28 December 2011. Retrieved 6 March 2012.〕 In spite of that, Sheedy vowed to continue to refer to the game as The Battle of the Bridge stating,' It's the battle of the bridge and not the derby, put a line through derby...It's the way people in the west want it to be. We've spoken to lots of people in the west and they like the idea. They love the idea of the ANZAC Bridge...so I'll go on my own personal recommendation. Our fans out west like it, they know it's a landmark', and also stated the Swans and the Giants were,' Like Coles and Woolworths in the same town'.
