It's been a big week in art ... with Jim Pavlidis

To win a Premiership Cup, a football team must first find a Premiership Window.

Not the stuff of traditional carpentry and glazing, this window is mysterious, like something concocted in the mischievous mind of Belgian surrealist painter Rene Magritte, for it can be opened only once.

There’s no time frame – the Bulldogs’ window was open for just four weeks in 2016, whereas Collingwood’s has been open since 1958 – but once it closes a team needs to get a new one.

During the past week there’s been much speculation about the state of Greater Western Sydney’s Premiership Window.

Many believe it remains open despite an injury-ravaged season, with their three recent wins putting the expansion team just outside the top eight.

The Giants may see September action in 2018, but following spearhead Jeremy Cameron’s crude hit on Harris Andrews last weekend, and subsequent suspension, it appears the current GWS window is closing fast.
