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: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
