The Greater Western Sydney Giants' 2015 season was its 4th season in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Club summary
The 2015 AFL season was the 119th season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; having entered the competition in 2012, it was the 4th season contested by the Greater Western Sydney Giants. Spotless Stadium once again acted as the club's primary home ground, hosting eight of the club's eleven home games,[1] with three games played at their secondary home ground, StarTrack Oval in Canberra. The three matches at StarTrack Oval were against Шаблон:AFL Mel, the Gold Coast Suns and Шаблон:AFL Gee in rounds 2, 4 and 17 respectively.[2]
Because Spotless Stadium was unavailable for the first five rounds of the regular season due to its required use by the Sydney Royal Easter Show, the club played its first two home games in Canberra, while the first of the two annual Sydney Derbies against the Sydney Swans were played at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Round 3, with the Giants hosting the return fixture in Round 21.[3] The club played Шаблон:AFL Car, Шаблон:AFL GC, Шаблон:AFL Mel, Шаблон:AFL StK and Шаблон:AFL Syd twice during the regular season, and traveled interstate ten times (six times to Melbourne, twice to Perth and once each to the Gold Coast and Adelaide).[1]
Major sponsors Virgin Australia and Lifebroker continued as the club's two major sponsors,[4] while BLK will manufacture the club's on-and-off field apparel for the next five seasons starting in 2015.[5]
Senior Personnel
Leon Cameron continued as the club's head coach for the second consecutive season, while Callan Ward and Phil Davis continued as the club's co-captains for the fourth consecutive season. Both have held their respective positions since 2014 and 2012, respectively.
2015 player squad
Playing list changes
The Giants underwent an overhaul of their playing list during the off-season, bringing in experienced players Joel Patfull and Ryan Griffen from the Brisbane Lions and Western Bulldogs, respectively, during the trade period.[6][7] In addition to Josh Hunt and Stephen Gilham announcing their retirements shortly before the conclusion of the regular season, the club also offloaded several key players, including the previous year's number one draft pick, Tom Boyd, who wanted to be traded to the Western Bulldogs after only one season at the Giants,[7] Kristian Jaksch and Mark Whiley, who were both traded to Шаблон:AFL Car,[8] Jonathan Giles, who requested a trade home to South Australia but ultimately ended up at Шаблон:AFL Ess,[9] and Sam Frost, who was traded to Шаблон:AFL Mel after also requesting a trade back to his home state.
The following summarises all player changes between the conclusion of the 2014 season and the commencement of the 2015 season.
