Team has been announced and Nancarrow is playing tomorrow. https://www.instagram.com/goldcoastsunsacademy/p/C57xRXbpVyf/

In less than two weeks we've seen two questionable umpiring decisions late in games that have quite possibly cost both Fremantle and Adelaide wins against Carlton and Essendon. The AFL already admitted that the umpires got the Cottrell mark wrong and most commentators seem to think that Draper...

Jon Ralph just reported on Fox Footy that we're "very keen" on recruiting Rioli for next year, despite Dimma and others playing down his recent trip here.

Oh boy! I can already envision Mally, Rogers, Lombard (and Rioli?) absolutely tearing backlines apart with their speed and skills. https://www.instagram.com/baselinefooty/reel/C5z7uxCpm31/ Just remember that restriction only applies to matching bids and we always reserve the right to draft our...

Add him to the growing list of AFL players who grew up supporting the Suns - Will Day, Bodhi Uwland, Connor Budarick, Ethan Read, Will Graham and Ryley Sanders.

At any other point in time in our club's existence I would have suggested we might be going too young by adding Rogers to the lineup, but I'm learning to not doubt Dimma in the same way that I've had doubts in previous years. The Hardwick regime has filled me with confidence I've never felt...

Had a listen. He seemed more critical of our academy on the radio than he was on Fox Footy. Called it a "leg up" for us. Nevermind all the advantages the Victorian teams get, but that's typical of the hypocritical nature of the Vic media/footy bubble down there. He also mentioned Jonathan Brown...

Would be ironic if we used the Bulldogs' own first round pick to secure the Bont :cool:

6 Riolis have played in the VFL/AFL to date. 5 were drafted. 3 of the 5 draftees have won AFL premierships. Maurice Rioli Sr - Signed with Richmond in 1982. Played in the 1982 VFL GF and won the Norm Smith Medal that year. Dean Rioli - Drafted to Essendon in 1997. Essendon won the 2000...

What would we have to give up for him? I'm sure the Tiges will ask for a first rounder and we do have our own as well as the Bulldogs' first round pick so we can probably pay that price if we feel D.Rioli is worth that. He's contracted until the end of 2027 so that probably does push his price...

Are we about to get a Rioli? Pretty sure we had a crack at Dan Rioli in the past but Richmond were seemingly still in their premiership window at the time so he turned us down. Might be a different story this time around!

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/04/17/the-next-wave-of-gold-coast-academy-kids-set-to-take-the-afl-by-storm/ More southern exposure for our academy players. It definitely feels like a very intentional amount of coverage being placed on our Academy at the moment... Anyway, it's interesting to...

It's a feel good story for the AFL because it shows they are finally getting return on the investment that they committed to back in 2008 when they granted us an AFL license. They were always adament when they let us and GWS in that these new teams were 20-30 year investments for the league and...

It seems you're not the only Swans supporter that's nervous about this one. There's a fair bit on the line here for both clubs in terms of wanting to get their season off to a really good start. I suspect the Swans are eyeing off a top 4 position this year and with that comes the expectation of...

Close to 30 likes on the social experiment post in less than 24 hours. I think it's fair to say Suns supporters on this board are overwhelmingly buying what Dimma is selling at the moment. Thanks to all who participated in the survey :thumbsu:

Very interested to see how this one plays out. The Swans have looked really good in some games this year but they also seemed to struggling a bit against West Coast last week. Sydney are also coming off the bye and we know what that tends to mean vs the Suns coming off a really dominant...

Quick social experiment. Like this post if you'd consider yourself a Dimma Disciple at this stage in the season. Very interested to see how many believers we have out there after five games.

Keep in mind this time last year the Blues were in a pretty similar situation with a 3-1-1 record and we know what happened over the next two months after their R5 loss to Adelaide in 2023. All Carlton can do is make sure they turn up next week against the premiership favourites and show the...

I think it's fair to say Will is a better player than most of us thought he was. Genuinely playing like a top 10 pick and he's only played two games! 14 tackles in a game is an unbelievable effort and you could just see how beneficial his pressure was for our midfield throughout the game. I...

You love to see it! https://www.instagram.com/pbcafc_/p/C5tCSjoPS9-/

We're guaranteed to finish this round inside the top 8 should we win this one, regardless of the scoreline. Personally, I'd really like to see the boys finish strong tonight after a few weeks of questionable second half efforts in a row. Hopefully we can get the W and preferably by more than 30...

Looks like Des has finally swung the axe and will replace Boyd with Campbell for tomorrow's match. That feels like the right move and it should mean Campbell gets more opportunities to show his creativity/x factor in the halves. I remember back when Presto was moved from fullback into the...

Sexton already has 20+ disposals and it's still the second quarter. Secco looks like he's in for a big game and will ask the question of Dimma at the selection table next week.

Fascinating read in today's Courier Mail into how we turned things around with our academy over the last five years. The overall message is if you spend the money and dedicate the resources at the grassroots/academy level, then you will reap the benefits at the highest level. Gold Coast Suns...

Here is the streaming link for anyone who is interested in watching Leo strut his stuff with the best prospects around Australia. Game starts at 1pm. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1106288/live-from-1pm-aest-afl-academy-boys-v-coburg-vfl

He also mentioned that the club has matured to a point that the playing group wouldn't allow that kind of behaviour to fester these days and I'd guess Mac is probably an example of a guy that recently tried his luck and was punished for it. Touk said he looks back on those early days when he...

Came across this image and thought you guys might be interested. This is the first grade premiership winning UNSW-Eastern Suburbs Bulldogs team from 2019 and if you look closely in the middle row third from the left you'll see a 17 year old Errol Gulden with two medals around his neck - a...

Interesting to see Sanders getting subbed. He grew up a passionate Suns supporter and played a lot of footy with our academy stars Walter, Read and Graham during the Allies' undefeated run to its first ever win at the national championships last year. I'd be very interested in bringing Sanders...

Leo Lombard will play at IKON Park tomorrow for the U18 National Academy team against Coburg at 1pm. This is probably the first real opportunity for everyone to see where Leo stands amongst the best players his age from all parts of the country. Jake Rogers was best on in this game last year and...
