Gold Coast Suns

Featured Replies

 

Gold Coast Suns is confirmed. Guernsey hasn't changed.

Yeah, big announcement

Theme song had a good traditional tune to it, but the words were pretty heinous.

 

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

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.

Not a bad name the Gold Coast Suns! Shithouse song and jumpers.

Ablett will stay a cat after watching the upstream.

Crappy name, will go the way of Power and Dockers and they'll also struggle for memberships. Should have gone with an animal.. Blue Bottles!.

 

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!

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.

I would have thought they might try somethng more trad i an aussie rules footy jumper. like...

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
