Should never have tried again with an AFL club on the Gold Coast. People go there to play golf,eat seafood and die. 

Glass half empty kind of person yeah? 🤣

Don’t you dare come up for the Olympics!….

There’s a tad more to do then the above mate, 8 months of the year it’s an amazing place to live, stay away during summer

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.

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.
