IF THE Sydney Swans didn't already have enough motivation for their next clash with Greater Western Sydney, first-year Giant Heath Shaw has just given them a little bit extra.

The Giants shocked the AFL world with their 32-point victory at Spotless Stadium on Saturday and are sure to face a fired-up Swans outfit when they next meet, in round 15 at the SCG.

According to Shaw, GWS intends in that game to "keep the foot on the throat" of their far more heralded rival.

"The rivalry is definitely there and it's building even more so," Shaw said during a visit to Campbelltown Hospital on Tuesday.

"For us to get a win first-up in the season, it's pretty exciting stuff, and I think later in the year when we play them again it's going to be on.

"They're going to want redemption and we're going to want to keep the foot on the throat like we did on the weekend.

"That's exciting times and it's exciting for Sydney to build up the code as much as we can and build that rivalry."
