He seemed to get a few 'Joe the Goose' type goals.

Have you seen any GC matches this year? His efforts have been deplorable, particularly for a guy so big and athletic.

Please explain.

What is a "joe the goose goal?"

Easy handball over the top to a player unguarded, usually on the goal line. Typically means other players have done the hard work but player in question gets the stat.

The correct answer is "sorry I got it wrong & Chol has been quite an effective forward for GC"

Not sure what I got wrong. Just said he kicked 44 goals which is a fact. Heard he hasn’t been as good this year which was widely reported and backed up by the fact he has only kicked 3 goals in 4 games so far.

Gold Coast marathon

golf

noosa + hinterland 

mooloolaba

port Douglas 

cycling

surfing

bundy distillery

bris is rad

and I haven’t even seen the best bits

 

Last 3 days in Brissy ...

Not long and somewhat rose coloured glasses as a visitor but it does have some upside such as...

> a whole lot less ppl so easier to get into places / parking

> as a result of above ... less pressure on prices.  Mostly reasonable including parking in the city

> many seem a bit happier, light hearted and with less traffic on the roads a few less angry folk it seems

> Brissy river's a winner but with so many high rises coming up.... get up quick if you want a view or be prepared to search hard for one that does.

Overall it has a feel of 'working to live' rather than the other way alot of the time in Melb.

Generally i like it up here.  Selective places in Noosa decent as well which i did late last year.

Cant say im a huge fan further up as just too hot and cant hit the beaches around Cairns & beyond unless you have a death wish.

With that lifestyle, they probably live forever

Olympics? Should of been disbanded years ago. Totally corrupt.  Hardly anyone bid for them.  Who is paying for it?  Qld?  The federal Gov will foot a large part of the bill which is disgraceful. That means Victoria will be paying for your infrastructure  as usual. Enjoy.

Has any major sporting code ever had a successful sojourn into the Gold Coast.  
As far as I know (happy to be corrected) Rugby, soccer and basketball have also tried and failed.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
