Gold Coast Suns - first win!!!

Featured Replies

And theyve just won by 3pts after Westoff misses a kick after the siren...

 

Now for the team song....OMG its bad!!

 

Would not want to be the Port coach. Or play for them.

And I thought that before the game!


Sounds just like the Port song....thats rubbing it in.

YUK!!!! Makes me sick!

 

Anyone can win any game.

Too right. A timely reminder for people who set the bar too low and put losses down to 'development'.

Footy's not as complex as it's made out to be. It's 44 blokes versus 44 blokes and the group which want the damned thing more can beat any opposition on any given day.


I was openly cheering for them in that last quarter.

..and thank god it wasn't us. :) Poort will never live this one down.

It's also a timely reminder to those who managed to find something to whine about after a 90 point victory.

As was I. Very pleasing for them.

"Poort", bwahaha.

Referring to anyone in particular Nash?

When one very ordinary side plays another ordinary side then anything can happen. And suggesting that its comparable to when a top 4 side plays a side with a cumulative 1000 games less experience is laughable.


If we dont beat port over there this year we have issues.

Well, that didn't take long. I was just reading down this thread, wondering how long someone would manage to see a problem for Melbourne in all this.

We have, as you put it, issues, as it is, whether we beat Port or not. When we stop having "issues", we'll be premiers ... multiple times over.

Well done Dees, nice 90 point win over GC.

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."

Well well well. Congrats BrB.

I hope you enjoyed that one.

Substitute North for WCE and the bottom 5 were reasonably predictable. Each of the sides over the course of the year will have their day in the sun but over the course of the year there shortcomings will continue to be exposed by more talented teams playing focussed football.

Now for the team song....OMG its bad!!

I think their song is not bad. Definately there are far worse.

Congrats to the Suns, Fantastic last quarter. I was getting right into the game at the end. There is no doubt that Swallow is an absolute star.

Freee-o, way to go...

I, too, got right into the game when it appeared that they might have a sniff.

The young kids were doing ok and sucking up the pressure from their more experienced opponents. Ablett was leading the way along with the ex Lions and the young kids were getting more confidence as the game got closer.

Well done GC. I will be following their progress this year and may even go watch a game or two.

We were predicting last week the team we thought would be first to lose to them and it was North that was considered the most likely. I dont think anyone expected them to beat Port over there but there you go.. where there is a will, there is a way and they showed lots of will.

 

K.B. has to walk home from Adelaide...What a classic.

We must SMASH Port when we play them, here and over there.

To lose that game on your Home heap when 40 points up is inexcusable.

Port should never have been admitted into the AFL, thanks so much Wayne Jackson. The Power are going to cost us all a lot of $$, maybe we could send the bills to you Jackson.

Glad we played the Suns last week, our 90 point win was ok with me.

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.

I'm sorry, but I can't help laughing every time I see "change tact" - one of the classics.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
