Gold Coast Suns Viability - How Long Have They Got?

Re: Gold Coast Suns Viability - How Long Have They Got?

Wasting funds that can be used elsewhere. They will never ever make it on the Gold Coast - flogging a dead horse.

AFL just admit it you got this wrong.

Too many egos at AFL house to admit this unfortunately Bornadog, but I agree, euthanasia is required for GC football club.

Has any sports team ever succeeded on the Gold Coast?

No. They've all folded.

The Titans are hanging in there in the NRL.

I feel for the young boys (and their families) that are forced through the draft to have to suck it up, and be constrained in reaching their potential.

Might be the team that ends up in Tassie.
South coast tassie devils.

His one that got away
Who else would be gettable ?

There's no history with the club so you could just change the name to Tassie Devils although it could be treading on Melbourne's toes a bit.
Also Tassie Tigers is close to Richmond so that would also be hard.

Persist with GC. Qld is the footy market where the game will find the most fertile ground outside of its home states. Rugby is a mess there, League is top dog but even it is struggling at junior level.

They have a good stadium, it's an attractive away day for fans interstate. Sink 30 years into it and see what happens.

Ultimately this is right.

For all of the calls for a team in Tassie, ratings could hardly be higher for afl games down there so what is actually achieved in terms of growing footy by putting a team in a place with low population, low population growth...where most of the people are already invested in the game.

To make it work though, don’t you have to put good people in place? Can’t comment of Dew, but some of the other appointments might be highly regarded but unfortunately if you are a #$@&#* and don’t treat people well then...

Sometimes when I’m typing on my iPad I reread what I have posted and it seems as if I was drunk when I wrote it...hopefully the general idea if what’s I was saying comes across.

Who are the other appointments? Ask yourself if they are good people or simply out to drive themselves and their careers forward damn everyone else. You will find the latter is true. I’m not naming names. The names are obvious to one and all.

All those western Sydney types have to have something to do on their winter breaks. I don't know that the Gold Coast locals want Parramatta and Canterbury supporters wandering around with all that time on their hands.

I once got chased through Gold Coast by some angry Canterbury supporters. We got chatting outside of the stadium (I was walking back from my cousin's place to our motel) and when I told them that I lived in Melbourne they assumed that I was a Storm supporter. That all changed after I told them I had been an Eels supporter since I was 13 and they were not happy about it. Things got ugly!

I really hate a dilettante. They are time wasters pretending they know better than everyone else only to walk away when it all gets too hard for them and expect others to pick up the pieces. Plenty of (stupid) ideas but no responsibility accepted.
