Embarrassing
I'm glad we won. It was great to see Riewoldt kick his 500th. Some of the keys to our future - Steven, Newnes, Siposs, Armo - played well. Gwilt and Gilbert were better. It was nice to see Raph and Schneider back.
But the main thing I'm left feeling is a sense of embarrassment for the game I love. What is the point of this nonsense team? The confidence and career prospects of up to a dozen highly talented youngsters sacrificed on the altar of the AFL's psychotic dreams of world domination? 18 months on and the Suns are the most crappy, demoralized team imaginable. There seemed to be more Saints fans there tonight. Do the Suns have any fans? Why would they?
Every national sporting team set up on the Gold Coast has failed, or is struggling.
Waste of money, waste of time, waste of talent.

Agreed we should take three of them back at the end of the year and develop them properly.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if GC won a flag before us.
The Suns are a phoney joke. If they win a flag before us, it won't be with more than 1 or 2 of the guys we saw playing tonight.

Re: Embarrassing
That is what I think the Suns should do. They have to reduce their list anyway so they should trade some of the young guns for quality experieced players and that would benifit the young guys coming home and the Sunsjoffaboy wrote:Agreed we should take three of them back at the end of the year and develop them properly.

Re: Embarrassing
It makes one sick. The ALF will pump all the $$$ required in to Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney to make sure they succeed. It doesn't matter how much time and money it takes, the ALF will make sure they win.

Re: Embarrassing
didn't we just beat them by 20 points last year at their ground, when they were less experienced?
Doesn't our form also have something to do with it?

Re: Embarrassing
I remember the same sort of comments being made about Adelaide and Port when they joined the comp. If memory serves me correct, both have won flags in the last 20 years whilst we have not. I don't like the expansion to the Gold Coast and Sydney, mainly because Tassie should have got a team yonks ago. But to misunderstand the advantage that both have been handed, and to declare them duds, is quite bizarre. We took 69 years to win our first and only flag. Stick to bagging Carlton and Essendon.

Re: Embarrassing
bit harsh, becarefull what you say. the more embarrasing they are, the more attention it gets, the more the afl will have to give them more concessions. they want GWS/GC to work, they wont relocate them or let them fail

Re: Embarrassing
The crows and port were both very competitive in their first season, so your memory must be going.
Port only missed the eight in 97 in the last game - a loss against us. No one was questioning either teams ability and future in year two. Both from a powerful footy state, even now the sanfl is the scond best comp in the land.
The gold coast is a superficial place with fickle superficial supporters - as evidenced with the quick rise and quicker demise of countless professional sporting franchises. The suns will become a laughing stock and will never win a flag. Never!

Re: Embarrassing
GC Suns are disgraceful, meekly led and have no spirit.
You would never see a Tassie team dish up S*** like that. They were disinterested.
BTW I do realize Tassie were smashed a few weeks ago, but they at least had a massive crack, and we're just out of there depth

Re: Embarrassing
Not even their first in their first 69 years (67 years from now)? And not even one in 115 years (113 years from now)? Old adage: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Just concentrate on the few positives from the win rather than bagging the opposition, others will take care of that.

And why would I want others to bag them when I can?
And ignorant and short sighted comment is something we all partake in - whether this time it is you or i will be uncovered in due course.

I don't care how many ill-gotten flags the AFL gifts them. They are not real traditional clubs, grown from a real grass-roots history. No, they are the contrived, soul-less and kitsch concoctions of the AFL's spin-doctors.

But worst of all, we have to look at their stupid jumpers, and even occasionally listen to their cringingly appalling theme songs! Uggggghh!!!
