Gold Coast - what the hell is happening here?

[U2tigers]

Or IMO did a third option.

Did exactly what they wanted to do.

 

[Gavin Excell]

That

Have kicked a grand total of two points in their last four final quarters.

Today in particular, they were 31 points up at three-quarter time with two extra rotations on the bench and still couldn't score.

I don't think I've seen a team, especially in the professional era, who has so conistently dropped their bundle as the game comes to an end.

Is this a fitness failure from the Suns or do they exhibit the signs of a mentally weak culture?

Is a damning stat

He actually slimmed down at one point. Not a good look for a young coach to demand his players stick to rigid diets and keep their skinfolds so low while sucking down hotdogs for an afternoon snack.

They are also well on the way to improve our draft situation as well.

Thanks GC!

Stewart Dew needs to can pie night on Thursdays.

They’re just a club that has no idea what success looks like. They need clarko. It’s the only thing that’s got any chance of fixing it in the near term

 

[Natho]

Bring back a roos rescue mission

 

[didaksrightfoot]

Or... a great way to hide tanking?
I mean if Lynch is definitely gone, if you drop to 17th or 18th then that compensation pick would look better than anything you'll be getting in a trade.

 

[biaseddustyfan]

the players are tanking in the most embarrassing way possible in hopes that gil will merge them with a melbourne club or at least move them to tassie

The last thing they need is more draft picks...dead serious they need real leaders

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Really? Taking pot shots at North Melbourne when you've had one good year of footy? We spanked you for over 11 years get outta here seriously

Huh? I wasn't having a go at North I was using them as a demonstration of a club who didn't trade out everyone and their mother to load up on draft picks and rebounded back up the ladder quickly.

 

[Baird]

This is a main board thread?

Yea, why wouldn't it be?

Will they take Steele Sidebottom for their first round?

What "leaders", in the right talent range, would they be getting for Tom Lynch?

Yes, they need leaders, but thats a completely different conversation.

Imo they should of went hard for Hodge when he was available

 

[Cmarsh]

I reckon most clubs would be left mentally weak and unfit if they had the same fixture GCS has had this season.

Very good point

 

[Power Raid]

they can write off 2018 but they'll come good next year and build from there

 

[Cmarsh]

Very good point

And to their credit the club doesn't seem to be making it as an excuse for their performances either.

 

[TheEnsign]

It was Webster who went down in the first too. Top 3 BnF lock and the only one on our anywhere near AA40 discussion from our list atm as well.

Have a look at Champion Data for 'General Defenders' this season. It's Sicily #1, Webster #2.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

As a long time Richmond supporter it is hard to ignore that leadership in setting up culture is as important high end draft picks when building a decent/competitive side. Many ex players have stated the culture at GC is shagged .
