    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
