GEELONG West-St Peter’s could be known as the GW Giants from as early as next year after holding preliminary discussions to strike an alignment with the AFL club.

A delegation of Roosters officials flew to Sydney on Friday to meet with Giants CEO David Matthews, who is a former boss of AFL Barwon, and discuss just how the unprecedented arrangement could work.

It’s understood GWSP will notify members today of an extraordinary meeting where it will discuss and possibly vote on the future direction of the GFL club in the coming weeks.

Talks have also been held with GDFL club Geelong West Cheetahs in regard to a possible joint venture, where both clubs could come together under the Giants banner and form a super club that represents the thriving Geelong West community.
