    Isn't that why Mark Evans is there already?

    AFL has already done the above and it's still failing.

    Doesn't stop them repeating it.
    Guess Solomon won't be getting the job permanent.
    Might chase Bucks he might not get results on field but I think he might be one to change the culture.
    Offer him the football managers role.
    Bring back the biff

    Just don't reckon the giants play a contested finals style for long enough . Always a lot of space in their games

    The AFL will never admit defeat. They will keep pouring money into Gold Coast until we stop them. They would rather bankrupt the competition than admit that a team on the GC wiont work.

    It will only stop when somebody stops them.

    GWS are in exactly the same position (actually worse) financially and membership wise, it's just been covered by onfield success nobody but the media care about. The only difference between GWS and GC is if you think about it is it makes a little more sense to have a team on the Gold Coast given they actually like AFL football. GWS are the real leech on the comp.

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    For some reason Brad Scott appears their target for coach.

    Sorry you're right. They now get Port in week 2.

    Loser of Geelong v Richmond now has Sydney to contend with in week 2 - straight sets a real possibility for either team, both of whom struggle against the Swans.

    Sydney are a massive flag chance IMO. Essendon or West Coast at home week 1, loser of Geelong and Richmond away week 2, Adelaide or GWS away week 3. GWS would be a home game for them, and they beat Adelaide in Adelaide last week

    They have gone 14-2 since round 6
