Watching 360 and they seem to be leaning towards likely, that the afl at one stage this season will have 4 day breaks, I can't wait to see the depth of our list, and other clubs' lists. And also watch superstars dominate against lesser opponents.. exciting times

It's Bulletin so probably paywalled, but not a bad word to be said
Super hard on himself for his 2020 performances but had surgery off season played injued through 2019 because he was needed on the ground
If Grablett had only had half his ticker......

I admit I've been hard on him for his recent performances, but he has bled red and gold and has been one of the few constants at our club. He has my utmost respect and admiration for the service he has provided both on and off the field.
Hopefully the early season stuff is an aberration and we can get another couple of years out of the old boy yet.

Seriously cannot wait to watch him play.
Rowell may be our best player over the next few years but can't help but think that Rankine will be the fan favourite and rightly so.
One thing that I haven't really seen mentioned is the length on his kick. In one of the JLT games he lined up for set shot with man on the mark at 51-52 metres and it sailed through.
Game day!

Dewy announcing Izak's nomination to the group:
www.goldcoastfc.com.au
One important thing Dewy noted during the speech that not too many people have is his forward pressure, which imo is arguably the most impressive part of his game this week. Most of us already knew the talent he had, but his 14 pressure acts (as well as a few tackles and one percenters) is what created the opportunities, and invaluable to the team, no matter how many goals he kicks. It's one thing to be talented, but it's another thing to work hard defensively in order to create opportunities to use that talent. I hope he keeps it up.

See the reaction of Izak Rankine and the group when he is told about his NAB AFL Rising Star nomination.

Amazing insight into his mindset and how humble he is. The amount of honest detail he put into everything he said, is probably more than most players. You can really tell with this interview that he really cares about the team first and foremost, and is really appreciative of everyone around him. After reading this, I think he's here to stay.
This may be a mistake, but the article on the afl website, fox footy is listed as the broadcaster, so doesn't look like it'll be free to air though. I may be wrong, but I do believe in recent years a few games a season, some thursday night games are fox footy games. Hopefully if it isn't a mistake, they can change it, cause it seems odd that 7 would only be covering three games that round (as opposed to the usual four this year). Although it may just be the AFL experimenting with timeslots (given we also have a non-fta monday night game), with the AFL looking to cram a bunch of games in a shorter time period (resulting several in games being played in non-traditional timeslots).

Mark Evans has made his pitch to the AFL for Metricon to host the Grand Final
Although Gabba will fit more people, there is no guarantee that many people will be allowed. All other areas Metricon wins. Let's do this!

So, Eddie Betts is a BIG fan of Izak Rankine!
Carlton champion Eddie Betts has jokingly suggested he’d retire now if it meant getting Izak Rankine to the Blues. Betts told Sportsday he was extremely impressed by the Gold Coast young gun, who booted three goals on debut last weekend. Betts said he’d spoken with Melbourne defender Neville...
Eddie says he is going to try and recruit Rankine to the Blues, they would be silly not too but can we just enjoy some good footy without the talk of Vics trying to recruit our players
