I was initially more in favour of a team on the Gold Coast than GWS mainly due to the Gold Coast being a more desirable location but GWS have been more impressive in their first year with the way they have played and the way they have set up the club.
Having experienced hard nosed coaches like Sheedy and Choco has helped their younger players adjust quickly to the demands of AFL and instilled a real tough, competitive style of play. Gold Coast on the other hand had a rookie AFL coach in McKenna and have been pretty soft at times getting blown away by big margins and being uncompetitive. Not necessarily all McKenna's fault though, their recruiting probably hasn't been as good as GWS.
