The boffins in AFL House need to work out if they are a football club or just a marketing arm.

Shocking.And badplayermanagement
They needed a hard arse seasoned coach to begin with, not McKenna. Say what you like about Sheedy, but GWS got that bit of the equation rightNo, their initial list build was nothing short of disgraceful and left them with a terrible culture. They have then supplemented that initial disaster with ongoing list own goals and prioritising recruiting discards.
If they start winning games they will have plenty of guys lining up to play there. Only now have they some established quality people around the playing group will they make some in roads. But they then be clever and lose greenwood. Their location has nothing to do with it, and everything to do with gross gross mismangement since their inception
what they have is a television event in Queensland when Brisbane are playing away, which is the point of the exercise. I think the business gurus call it a 'loss leading investment', and it's working out just fine in that regardShocking.

Well he does support the Swans.Ftfy
There's still a chance we could get him right?Swallow at 175 games is hunting down their all time games record and is contracted to the end of 2024.
He may end up beating Trevor Barker, 230 games with out a final.
I think they're overlooking/underestimating the power of overall brand awareness & the detrimental impact a shithouse one has on their long term viability and market share.what they have is a television event in Queensland when Brisbane are playing away, which is the point of the exercise.

Yeah they would have been better off with Spitta rather than GAj. And you're right there is more to it than just that.yep all true but if they had have recruited some players with a strong professional work ethic they wouldnt be in this position. Their culture sucks and the list management and coke problems dont compound the issue, they are the issue.
Every time Brisbane floods the Goldy is fine.Yeah they would have been better off with Spitta rather than GAj. And you're right there is more to it than just that.
GWS got Sheedy right but they also got better players from other teams in terms of developing a young side from scratch. Their leadership group have performed well on that front, even Power stuck around as a development coach. And even their out of code recruits... Folau may be a fundy but its probably better to have a self admitted fundy than a known party boy like Hunt in a new side. FOlau is sincere in his beliefs. Insanely so imo but its his life. Its a much better attitude when you're building a footy club from scratch.
But even if they got their sh*t together culture wise, they still won't win a flag. Its too cushy on the Gold Coast. You need a bit of mongrel to win a flag, why would you bother with that on the Goldy. Its summer all year round and if you've got money its a tropical paradise full of hot, shallow women who are obsessed with looking good. And more than just mongrel, you need character or integrity to win a flag. The surrounding suburbs are just like the rest of Australia but that strip along the beach, around Surfers and Gold Coast itself is basically a character/integrity free zone. And its a holiday resort for people who play proper footy (any code) in other cities.
Its just not real enough. Even in that photo it looks like a mirage.
The first time i saw it I drove in from NSW thru Chillingham and the Numinbah Valley, which is spectacular. The road comes out at Nerang and about halfway along where its really windy (as in not straight) I looked up to the east and it looked like there were a bunch of giant dildos sticking out of the bush on the horizon. I think that is the perfect metaphor for Surfers Paradise - a bunch of giant dildos. The buildings and the people.Every time Brisbane floods the Goldy is fine.
Plastic floats.

Oh, okayThe first time i saw it I drove in from NSW thru Chillingham and the Numinbah Valley, which is spectacular. The road comes out at Nerang and about halfway along where its really windy (as in not straight) I looked up to the east and it looked like there were a bunch of giant dildos sticking out of the bush on the horizon.

I'd feel bad for Polec if he ended up there.
well i think looking back as bally as his bet was he was never going to loses it. why elizibeth fwiw? plenty of womens names he had to choose from.er ... she
i actually dont mins the southernmost part that actually feels a lot less plastic, miami and burleigh heads. lots of 70s style low rise buildings. and nice surf clubs that locals frequent. surfers, main beach and southport are totally pretentious, nerang and carrara are backwater ghettos.The first time i saw it I drove in from NSW thru Chillingham and the Numinbah Valley, which is spectacular.

the miami marketta is a hidden gem, live music of a night and great variety of food stalls.
Honestly it might have been a different name. That was just some random name that came into my head. This was a decade ago.well i think looking back as bally as his bet was he was never going to loses it. why elizibeth fwiw? plenty of womens names he had to choose from.
I actually had a quick look at this last night. I don't think any AFL team has won a flag within five years of joining the comp. Crows and Eagles were six years. Port took seven. Theoretically the Lions did it but that was different. They came from the merger of two other clubs.well i think looking back as bally as his bet was he was never going to loses it.
Make sure you move back out before the tsunami hits.Yeh that photo looks terrible.. hang on a sec

seems unfair to punish the fans if the team kicks a decent score ?Honestly it might have been a different name. That was just some random name that came into my head. This was a decade ago.
His kids go for the Suns tho. Their mum's mum takes them to games every now and then. If the Suns kick over 60 points all the kids that go get free burgers at McDonalds. They're all league players and supporters really. proper footy isn't that important to them.
Unless they beat us...
No doubt he has the tools, its just his application tat is inconsistent. i watched him play some lovely footy for port and was genuinely chuffed when news broke he was coming across.Would absolutely love for him to turn it around in 2022. Even if it’s at VFL level. Put him on the wing and create some competition for spots.
I think recruiting seasoned senior players albeit in their twilight that were renowned for meticulous preparation and professionalism as opposed to a coke head, wife basher, and the laziest player at brisbane worked. They set standards early with sheedy cracking the whipThey needed a hard arse seasoned coach to begin with, not McKenna. Say what you like about Sheedy, but GWS got that bit of the equation right
