    2014 membership - 13,478 as of 11/8/14

    We have 500k on the Gold Coast, surely that is enough to support 2 national sports teams with 25k members each? The major problem the club will always struggle with, same problem the Titans are facing, is the locals not buying into the club. And unfortunately history has shown us locals don't...

    News Karmichael Hunt NEWS

    I cannot see the AFL offering anything near his current $1mil salary for 2015 onwards. The Suns should be pushing if not already in the 8, the kids will have matured and created their own brand power here in QLD and the clubs membership should be ever increasing with continued onfield success...

    News Karmichael Hunt NEWS

    Even if he stays injury free this season I really can't see him being best 22 by seasons end. Too many highly skilled players chomping at his heals wanting and deserving their shot. And with another list cut next year, I personally think he would be best to return to rugby in 2015. He has...

    Preview 2013 Draft/Trade Period

    Thanks for that mate, appreciate it. Kid really has some tow about him, looks good running off a back flank. A nice sign for me is that he is already playing good footy against mature bodies, not just similar sized TAC kids. I'm very biased being a local, but I would love the Suns to add at...

    Analysis Single Malt GC Sporting Updates (TITANS NEWZ)

    Titans had another round of administrative job cuts this week, I think the Bulletin said 7 staff made redundant as the club tries to stay afloat for next season. Financially still pretty crook at Robina Stadium. It will always be a tough sports market here on the Goldy.

    News PeopleFirst (Bank) Stadium and Precinct

    Cheers for that info Matchu, that's an extremely lucrative deal with Metricon, especially seeing the stadium only receives national media coverage for 6 months of the year. If we could pick up a cricket deal with the ACB, giving the stadium TV coverage over the summer months, it would be...

    News PeopleFirst (Bank) Stadium and Precinct

    Skilled Park will officially be Robina Stadium again shortly when their $800k per year naming rights sponsorship runs out. The local Goldy 9 news said tonight a new sponsor is yet to be found. Be interesting to know how much the Metricon group pays for our stadium naming rights. Suncorp pays...

    News PeopleFirst (Bank) Stadium and Precinct

    Local Goldy news tonight just said the northern stand will only be temporary for the Comm Games, and part of the cash saved will be used to upgrade the Suns admin & training facilities into permanent buildings.

    Mega Thread Official Suns 2014 trade period thread.

    The Polec deal is still waiting for a 3rd club to save the day. I still think we are in with a chance to snare 14 if by lunchtime tomorrow the Saints or GWS haven't come to the party.

    Mega Thread 2013 Official Draft Thread

    Do you think you guys will chase our 20, 27 & 43 for your pick 12 & 50? You lose a bit of power with 12, but overall is an upgrade of picks?

    Preview 2013 Draft/Trade Period

    I do see the Tigers predicament as they have to draft 3 players and currently have 12, 50 & 68. Not ideal at all. I guess Richmond would want 20, 27 & 43 for pick 12 & 50. We then have 5 & 12 for best available and then use 50 to pick up an Academy player or possibly a mature aged player or...

    The 2014 pre-season thread.

    I am still very dubious about the whole altitude training Arizona thing, I just don't see it being worth the copious amounts of ca$h it must cost? Surely they could have a local team bonding camp at Mt Warning and climb that bugger on a daily basis. That hike is a killer for the fittest...

    Yeh agree, he doesn't fit our list. Seb Tape MkII. I would find it quite amusing though if North Melbourne recruited Jake, and then we have the Swallow brother scenario all over again!
