Other Sydney Derby's

AFL Pre-Season results

Like both the "Western Derby" and the "Showdown" pre-season matches do not count towards the overall Sydney Derby results and statistics. However, The first ever match between the Greater Western Sydney Giants and the Sydney Swans occurred during the 2011 pre-season. To date three of the six fixtures have been held in either suburban or regional venues, as part of the restructured pre-season competition to see more matches being held in more non-traditional venues.

AFL Women's

In preparation for the 2017 launch of the AFL Women's competition the AFL held 10 Exhibition Series matches during the 2016 Season. The only match held in Sydney featured both a Women's side from the Greater Western Sydney Giants & the Sydney Swans, played as a curtain-raiser for the Men's Sydney Derby.^[13]
