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

The other one I read somewhere was The Marlins. I like that, but again its an American Baseball team. I have no problems wth that though

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).

Go Dees

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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
