How are the Foxfooty commentators talking finals footy for GC - 3 games in. FMD let's see what happens in the next ten games
Well two very impressive performances when most of the rest of the competition has looked mediocre to shithouse probably has something to do with that. A bit of justified optimism about Gold Coast would be great and somewhat validate them as a club which would be a nice change from the repetitive moaning about how they don't deserve to be in the comp.
It'd be nice if it actually meant something thereafter, given they've done this before and delivered little in the past.
I actually want both GCS and GWS in the competition, and I also want an additional team from Tassie and one from at least another place in the country as we can then play each team once a year and flip grounds the following year whilst having a credible competition.
Imagine how amazing an even draw would be.
Wouldn't it be fantastic if Gold Coast won a premiership before the Great Waste of Space from Western Sydney?
(Assuming we don't win it that particular year)!!!
They have for sure looked impressive, but it's kind of going unsaid that they're playing with a really significant advantage over their opposition at the moment, and they also kinda do this every year.
Anyway, in other "Spiderman pointing at Spiderman" news:
EDIT - pictures aren't posting as usual (probably user error) but Buckley has definitely taken notice of Rowell.
They have looked good but I am waiting to see how they go against some quality opposition away from Carrara. Having sdaid that thy can only beat the opposition they are drawn to play against.
2 games and healthy percentage is a decent head start.
In the past they have started seasons well but had no depth so 3-4 injuries killed them. They probably bat a little deeper this year - CEY went there too for inside grunt so they can actually cover midfield injuries now.
Don't forget Rory Thompson is due back in a few weeks which gives them KPP depth too, and 2MP didn't play either. I still think Harbrow is a really important part of their line up as someone who can actually run the ball from defence.
Shorter quarters and getting to stay home in the SE Qld hub has been very beneficial for the Suns. They held their own in many quarters and games last season but got killed in red time - the shorter quarters are right up their alley with still such a young list.
They’re coming big time
I thought 12 months ago they could win one before the plastics
Gotta say 19 losses in a row had second thoughts, but the plastics might be done
I'm with you. I want the game to keep growing and more teams added to the comp, a Tassie team and a NT team for sure, eventually adding two teams from NZ to the comp would be nice as well, I know Rugby is the 'big game' over there but they have a love for AFL with their local leagues boasting a large amount of players.
I want GC to do well, they're fast becoming my number 2 team to watch and go for, hopefully they snag a finals win before Essendon and the Plastics again.
