I just finished watching a replay of the game.
Besides the awful commentary of Dwayne Russell it was a pretty entertaining game, especially by two bottom teams.
Gold Coast have a lot of talent and they played well yesterday.
Cripps and Kreuzer were clearly playing sore, hope they come up this week.
Good all round effort.

Like many on here happy with the win but it was so frustrating.
I was worried all week about this game, one we were expected to win.
Didn't play our best but got the job done.
Cripps looked like he went over on his ankle in the first quarter, wasn't himself today.
The umpiring was baffling, not sure what the count was.
Anyway, a win is a win.
Players looked really tired in the last quarter.


What I noticed was a lot of the players dropped to the deck after the siren. I guess they weren't used to being the hunted and had to really grind it out.

That in itself is a positive. During the game I was getting frustrated but on reflection, we got the win and, let's be honest, we were not going to lose at any stage.

I wonder also if we're not giving the Suns enough credit for their performance? Just because they've been poor over the last month, doesn't mean they can't put in a good performance. We used to do that all the time under Bolton, the Collingwood game this year is a good example, it was surrounded by a block of really really ordinary performances. We all got sucked in by the last two beltings. I was a lot more cautious as posted in the pre game thread but I'll admit I also expected us to belt them easily.

Loved the game from Jones, he would be pushing for all Australian if not for his concussion lay-off. Ed Curnow again mr reliable.

Harry's stats may look decent on paper but like others I'm getting really frustrated with this laziness and his (unjustified) big ego. His spin celebration at the end epitomises this. You've played a couple of good games Harry but you don't have the runs on the board yet so pull your finger out and start working harder and practice your goalkicking ffs.

Winning ugly and sloppily is better than losing!

I made a comment at the game yesterday that on our way to our seats, it was the first time ever in the time I've been to the footy that I didn't see not 1 opposition supporter. Waste of money, but Gil insists on throwing money away.

Would you seriously put it past Gil and Hocking to send a message to the umps and media to go easy on the Suns after the previous two weeks thrashings ? I wouldn't.

Interesting theory, but if that did happen and word got out, Gil's job would be irreparably compromised.

There were 3 near me, but I am 99% sure they were related/friends with one of the players.
Having 32K was a great crowd but having so few GCS supporters made it so flat when they were scoring.

It was also very noticeable on the broadcast....

Apparently the retailers at Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre were complaining about very flat trading figures yesterday afternoon.

If Charlie is ready to return, I'd piss Harry off to the 2's. Levi is far more valuable at the moment.


I don’t see Harry at the club in 2 years time, it’s a feeling I’ve had for awhile.

Call me crazy ....


OK See you in 10 years time to discuss !

there has been some stinkers on here, statements such as ole synbad declaring crippa had a fat arse and was too slow ...

McKay/Curnow/McGovern when all fit and firing will be a sight to behold. going nowhere.

throw in Papley and the continued development of Gibbons/Deluca and to quote BT ... wowee

But the very fact that it cant immediately be dismissed as rubbish says such much about how little faith we all have in Gil and the boys club these days.

204 cm key forwards who can run like the wind, take contested marks and kick goals need to be kept...

fwiw, he put on 4 tackles yesterday, so i look forward to what he can do defensively when he fixes his laziness


He’s overflowing with potential .......the feeling I get isn’t something I want to happen it’s just that I see his path going elsewhere.

It was crickets and tumbleweeds whenever Gold Coast goaled.

You couldn't hear the carlton chant that echoed around the ground a few minutes before the siren.
That was a good moment.

Waiting for the club to docked 16pts for calling the umpire a wanker.

Took my 7 y.o. along & finally got to see his first win live. After numerous attempts.

He still decided it was time to go home though, with 10 min to go :lol: :banghead:

Commentary wa ok
Umpiring was ok
A few howlers as usual for both teams
So what’s unusual about that

SPS good in defence
Kennedy ok in attack but what happens when Curnow comes back
And my mate McGovern
What’s all the winging about McKay
Kicking ordinary but otherwise good
Hopefully TDK can replace Kreuzer down the track
We desperately need a dominant big man

Setterfield goes missing too much
Average
Thomas good

Like Gibbons as a footballer would love him to play in the middle more
Curnow in the middle in the last month has been a significant factor in our improvement
Overall an ordinary performance given the opposition
The “Stocker Cup” next week will be interesting
Need to play a lot better

Setterfield has played 12 (or close to it) senior games in his career (and has had a bad injury). Every time I see him he gets better. He will be a a very very good player. Please ... give the bloke some time.

Thomas is playing some good football (i reckon he should get another year).

Jones was fantastic. His marking and kicking was superb.
