Gold Coast Suns - first win!!!

[Beach Road Bazza 0]

Greetings all.

Having resided up here in sunny SE Queensland since my retirement two years ago, I've remained a staunch Demon but I also have a soft spot for the new local crowd down the road at Carara where a magnificent new stadium is being developed in readiness for GCS's game v Geelong later this year.

None of this prevented me from enjoying the Dees' 15 goal demolition of the newbies on Sunday. Conditions were warm, humid and uninviting for a physical game like footy and it was inevitable that mistakes would be made by both teams. I'm amazed that some people are hypercritical of a team that recorded such an annihilation - Ablett or no Ablett.

Which brings me to the question of the Suns' first win. I was watching the Marngrook Footy Show on the Thursday night before the game and Norf Melbourne's Matty Campbell was on the panel. He was the only panelist to tip GCS to win their first game on Sunday against us because "Melbourne don't travel well."

I hope that we all remember this comment when the Dees play Norf next month.

Matty C was partly correct. The Suns did win their first game at the weekend (I don't count the small handful of games won last year in the VFL because they weren't named the Suns till late in the year). They have a reserves team in the new North East Australia Football League and, after two losses, they finally came up trumps at the weekend.

Reading this thread make me feel this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever.

Quite right ... apart from the opening post, the rest sounds as if it's straight out of the Jack Nicholson movie about cuckoos nests.

No respect whatsoever for the hardworking Gold Coast Suns organisation.

Well, my post was also cuckoo.

I bastardised a quote from Amnerican Beauty and then one from Family Guy that made fun of the previous post.

How is the old Kingswood going Bazza?

My son Kevin now has the Kingswood and it's proudly sitting in the front yard of his Cranbourne home minus one wheel. I'll be back later in the year and might have a crack at trying to make it roadworthy.

Anyone buying?

Hi BaRB'. Winless. After last week, I can't se them getting a single Win.

They've got to improve by a Country Mile.

The Suns won't win a game all year. Their best chance will come in a couple of weeks against the Lions but they will fall short. They are a good 2-3 years behind all other clubs. The only people smiling are the punters.

Well, well, well.

After all the whinging and wrist-slashing that has taken place on here this week, I wonder if a few people will change tact after today.

Now, I'm well aware that it's only Port Adelaide. But they are currently 9 points down with 9 minutes left, having come back from 40 points down late in the 3rd term. This is a very difficult venue to play at (as we well know). They're a good bucnh of kids who are hard to beat at the clearances and marking contests with their talls.

Matthew Primus stay tuned...
