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

    Does that mean Warwick Capper will be their mascot, or better yet, make a comback?

    Gold Chost 'Implants' has a nice ring to it... Great options for the emblem

    The Gold Coast 'Bleachers' or 'Rippers' could also be appropriate

    I heard someone ring in on radio last year, suggesting "The Hammers" (HammerHead Shark). I thought that was OK.

    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 ;)

    Remember the whole Gold Coast area is still expanding at quite a rate.

    I'd definitely go for the GOLD COAST FAR CANALS.

    Don't mind the Suns personally.

    I say no to that!

    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

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
