    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
