The words of the great giant Sydney team song say:

Well there's a big, big sound from the west of the town. It is the sound of the Mighty Giants.

It was great on Saturday night to attend the game with the member for Blaxland. The member for McMahon is over there and he is a great fan as well. I am sure he was there with his children. It was great to join them with the Mighty Giants. It was not a thunderstorm we heard Madam Speaker; it was the sound of the boys becoming men has to turn the tables on their cross-city rivals, the Sydney Swans. To give you an idea of the magnitude of what they achieved, the last time these two teams met the Swans triumphed by 130 points. So to win by 30 points was indeed a great achievement. To Tony Shepherd, the chairman of the board, to Joseph Kharrazi, to Kevin Sheedy the inaugural coach and now on the board, to David Matthews, CEO, Richard Griffiths, Graham and Ian Allen, Craig and Melissa Lambert— (Time expired)
