I love a sunburnt country...

I would be pretty bored with it if I was a fan. Nothing at all wrong with Sharks. I like the idea of a mascot to instill fear. But hey, whatever.

Gold Coast have already stated numerous times that they won't have a nickname. the obvious one was the guards (as in lifeguards) and they rejected that.

this rumour is crap. They will just be GC FC, and i think 'the coasters' will stick as an informal nickname. don't mind it either.

Yeah, naah I don't like that. I reckon it's ok if they wait for one to evolve naturally, I guess like the demons did going from, was it the Redlegs or Fuschias or something, to the demons based on a legendary coach's team address. But to never have one? Meh...

kERRYDIXON - can you provide a source? or is this just speculation. I believe that it was one of the names mentioned but i thought the GCFC had decided that they would not nominate a monikor until they entered the comp and they were leaving it to the fans?

Sharks sounds best at the moment. Dolphins is too soft, Suns is weird and Stingrays is taken.

so is Sharks by Southport, who have a strangle hold on the AFLQ. 40,000 Mmbers i think. Thanks to their pokies club

The Gold Coast Titans in the NRL were going to use the Dolphins nickname but couldn't because of a dispute with the Recliffe Dolphins side.

Gold Coast Sharks isn't too bad, much better than the Suns!

SD - according to your theory there will be the same issues with Southport Sharks. What about the Stingers. As in the jelly fish? Marine Stingers

I'd defintely think that Southport would protest to having the GC named as the Sharks

Not a bad suggestion, Gold Coast Stingers has a nice ring to it! And surely it's not taken by any other team...

Tingay would have to endorse it of course ;)

Here's a few to think about.

The Gold Coast...

White Pointers - dual connotations. Could be a shark of could be the best team emblem in the league....but only able to be broadcast after 9:30pm.

Blue Bottles - a good one for opposition supporters so they can yell at them to remind them they are spinless jellyfish.

Beach Bums - A good fit for most of the people on the coast who will actually support them; they being expat. Victorians who want en easy life lying on the beach.

Glitz - extravagant and often tasteless display (sums up the Gold Coast for me anyway).

My preference in order. Top 3 only!

1. Gold Coast Sharks (conflict with Soutport. So doubtful)

2. Gold Coast Ironmen

3. Gold Coast Dolphins

4. Gold Coast Surf

5. Gold Coast Waves

6. Gold Coast Heat

7. Gold Coast Theme Parks

8. Gold Coast Sliders

9. Gold Coast Skins

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
