Gee there's some shithouse haircuts in the Bulldogs team.

Nice goal from Brando.

Hey Tim English. Princess Di from 1986 called. She wants her haircut back.

Who do we want to win this one?

Who do we want to win this one?

Gold Coast. Reckon they’ve blown it though. Dominated the second quarter but only ended up drawing it on scoreboard.

 

[jb03]

Touk Miller is a very underrated player

Who do we want to win this one?

Ladder wise, the Suns.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

That was exhausting to watch. Not a high standard but a good contest all night.

 

[Ridley]

Thought it was a good game in tough conditions. Gold Coast probably should have won but I think inexperience cost them. But they’re starting to looks like a footy team. Rankine is great to watch. A natural.

Goldies have quickly (WITH AFL SPOONFEEDING) assembled a core group of very good kids that will have them figuring prominantly in a few years timer.

Miller, Lukoscious, Rowell, Rankine, Anderson, Ainsworth and King for a start, add in Fiorini and our boy Bobble Ellis not a bad group assembled.

Why so much rain in all these games. Isn't this supposed to be Queenslands dry season?

Add Budarick for completely free last year.

used to be. been out of whack for 15- 20 years. A lot less summer storms, you used to set your watch by them, now unusual. More rain in winter. Less rain overall.

Add their mid first-round freebie this year and start of the second-round freebie next year and the Suns are well placed to do what some feared GWS would do and win four flags in a row.

did the AFL actually give them those extra picks - they have no idea

 

[Rancey18]

Not sure if its been mentioned - but noticed Brandon Ellis was wearing a black armband tonight (for Tucky I assume). Once a Tiger always a Tiger - terrific to see.

I had to check but, yep, they did. There will be a push to rescind them if the Suns play finals this year. Or perhaps even if they don't.

AFL bosses throw draft-pick lifeline to floundering Gold Coast Suns

An assistance package which includes the first two picks in the 2019 player draft will be handed to the struggling Gold Coast Suns to help the club "deliver upon their football strategy".

Might be on my own here, but I am getting sick of all of the Rankine hyperbole.

Rankine is a poor mans Shai Bolton.

Great stuff from Bobble if thats the case good on him a nice touch.

Geelong has their mid first-round freebie this year. They did a live trade during last year's draft.
