The AFL’s two most recent start-ups adopted two very different strategies. Gold Coast signed the best player in the league and tried to build a team around him. Greater Western Sydney, meanwhile, assembled a crack team of kids and placed them under a veteran coach. The $200 million ploughed into the Suns has yet to produce a single finals appearance after 13 years, whereas the Giants became a finals force in their fifth season, albeit while falling short of attaining the ultimate prize.
