Good on you Jack7. Btw, I wouldn't mind waking up in boxers and a singlet in 23 C after this morning in Melbourne ! (*teeth chattering*)

But hey, I wake up each morning in the Sporting Capital of the world. So I can't complain.

:)

WIth regard to those 8,000 GC members. May I be so bold as to ask if you know the avg. membership cost of those 8,000. ie. Is it $160-$170 full memberships, or is it just a sign-on-membership at minimum cost ? I'm interested to know.

Yeah,it's $45 this year.

Yeah,the Suns it is.

Pretty average but is it any worse than the Dockers or Power?

I was hoping for the Sharks,i know Cronulla and Southport already have it but it was the best fit for me and there's a lot of Sharks up here of the human variety.

Their strip looks like a training top, it's like the people in charge of their design had a big night and just decided to submit the most basic design possible. Never thought i'd say this, but i prefer the Dockers look over them!

horrible song, but still greater than fremantle's

"we are the suns of the gold coast sky, in the red yellow blue, we are the suns of the gold coast sky, the team for me and you" ... and then something about never say die. or words to that effect

Freo's is the best! Other than ours.

Freo Heeeeevvve Hooooooo

I can't believe they are sticking with that awful jumper! I would rather fork out for a burlap sack then hand over $100 for that b-grade monstrosity they call a jumper!

Yeah its very basic. I think the away top looks better with the wave rather than the plain stripes on the side

Hate to disagree but the Freo song sounds like a mix of Nick Cave at his creative worst and a soundtrack to a 1950's Russian propaganda film about a steel mill.

As for the Gold Coast song, it sounds like the third verse of the Port Power song.

The jumpers are horrible, the logo looks like a packet of Rice brand, the GC in the middle of the home jumper is a cheap and nasty rip off of the Sports Tonight logo, the Wave on the away and clash jumpers is cheap and nasty and reminds me of the Adelaide or hawthorn clash strips that everyone rubbish's, the name Suns is ok and the song isn't the worst in the AFL. What is dissapointing is that the Board of the GCFC have forgotten everything they said about 8 months ago. I clearly remember their position being

1. No name to begin with, let the fans decide, let one evolve = fail

2. A traditional, strong football jumper = fail (home one is a pass, just)

Whoever the club had do the graphic design work should bve forced to pay their money back. I have seen jumper designs 10x bettwer on the bigfooty.com site. It isn't that difficult. Shocking job. The colours are weak too. More blue is needed. Massive fail for mine

Surprised they stuck with the training singlet, but it will save them money...

The song is awful my wife who has no interest in footy thought it was a gay song sung by the village people...that about sums it up.

Suns is okay for an example but a shark would have been better IMHO.

Could not agree more "Yeats08" I hope they can play because the Jumper and song are crap.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
