Any word on today's crowd number yet.

Near capacity according to Smitho

 

[davesnothere]

Surely that isn’t real

No spelling errors and grammar looks ok.
It's fake.

 

[P4Life]

Graded as medium contact.
Breaks a bone, wow not sure what constitutes the next level up

 

[gtrxuone]

Really disappointed with Gold Coasts first qtr..Without looking at the stats.I would doubt they have ever beaten West Coast in Perth.Today was the day,let's hope they get back in the game.

 

[Grave Danger]

Even Casboult couldn't miss that one.

Back to normal with the next one!

 

[philreich]

Hooly dooly whens the last time we got a ride like that

In Gold Coast's last premiership year.

Fox Footy reporter Tom Morris has been sacked for offensive comments that leaked out into social media following his confrontation with Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge on Wednesday night.

Fox made the decision on Friday, Morris having made offensive comments about a female co-worker and further homophobic and racist remarks in a private setting that were released after he was castigated by Beveridge at a media conference.

Fox Sports broadcaster Megan Barnard responds to 'degrading' comments by Tom Morris

Sports broadcaster Megan Barnard, who was dragged into the furore over the sacking of Fox Sports reporter Tom Morris for his misogynistic comments about her, calls for change in the sports industry.

Bloke on ABC radio coverage banging on about four umpiring decisions at the end there that really cost the Crows

EDIT: on second thoughts he may have said "poor decisions" (eg that Triplehope effort that cost them the game)

So they should bang on about the umpires costing them the game. After all, In the 3rd quarter they were +17 free kicks, therefore they should’ve ended up being, at least, +22. They only ended up +16.

The only conclusion then is, they were robbed

Re today's crowd, the AFL website says TBC. I assume that means To Be Concocted.

Funny how most clubs release it 3/4 time…and so do the Crows when it’s a decent crowd.
They are similarly coy with their membership numbers.
I wonder why.

 

[gtrxuone]

Really good passage of play by Gold Coast.From the point kickout.They look pretty good when they move the footy quickly.
Miller +Rowell are two quality midfielders.Casbolt also straightems them up also.

 

[Jojay]

Jeez we need to seriously throw the book at Luko

Get a coach like Clarkson and players like Luko would take less money to come play for us. It all starts with the coach.

 

[ROBBBO]

Currently downing a bottle of vodka after accepting that even James Rowe has gone past Rozee.

Lol. No he hasn't

I want Ken sacked, but his ability to attract some big names has been impressive as has our retention of players. What differentiates Ken from Clarkson is that Clarkson can see a spud from a mile away and doesn’t persist with them, yet Ken does the opposite and gifts them games - Neade, Lobbe, Marshall etc.

 

[davesnothere]

Luko kicking to Casbolt is just wrong.

 

[Jonts]

**** Id pay 2 firsts for Lukosius

 

[Waspy79]

We gave up our second round pick in this years draft to get Sinn, correct? Gave the Swans a pick too in the Ladhams deal?

 

[JimmyBC]

The late sunday slots are awful

 

[Jojay]

You just know suns are kicking themselves out of a win

 

[edgie]

If any club is capable stopping as dead in its tracks as Port, it's west coast.

That was a real blow for Gold Coast.Not only did Rioli set up the goal.He took out Rowell ,one of GC key midfielders.

How was that not a free kick against Rioli? Jumps up and just bumps Rowell in the head who was the only person who touched the ball in that marking contest...

 

[tribey]

How does Dew still have a job. The individual talent is obvious, but they play like a team of 20 ringers from the city who met up in a country town fifteen minutes before first bounce.
