Super excited today just signed the contract on a great house back in the goldie to go back to once I leave Shitney

10 house stroll to the beach and close enough to walk to Pacfair to get the bus to Metricon. Forgive me for sharing brothers and sisters but I need to tell someone and I would prefer it wasn't the extended family

Is it in Mermaid Beach or Broadbeach?

Haha watching my old team who are 0-13 in the Div C amateurs. Also going to see a couple of my mates play for GB in the AFL International Cup. So some quality footy ahead ;)

My brother coached gb last international cup
 
Can I ask that all fellow members in here that are on the GC join me in emailing the club to request a members forum please?

I think it's an appropriate request now given how our season has Gone.

I get a frustrated at them by old people who hijack the meeting by taking the microphone and telling their life story about who they used to go for blah blah blah and how they are the most person in section blah blah blah before asking their question

So u know what I'm talking about exile???

I don't care what section they are in, I don't care if they are a foundation member, I don't care if they also go for St Kilda......

Just ask the question old fart!!!
 
Too many stupid questions are asked. They're generally not even questions more statements as said about kicking and handballs or tackles. Injurys to a lesser extent. I went last year and despite having a dozen good questions to ask only found time to ask 1. Asked the players directly if they felt their commradery and support of each other was enough to convince prestia, omeara etc. To stay at the club. To his credit Steven may owned that question and said they were a tight group, but did say the lure of home was something that weighed on a few boys.

Looking back now he was obviously talking about prestia. Hence why I think there was generally disappointment when they found out omeara was going to Melbourne for the money.

Only the right questions asked can provoke an intellectual response.

Cheers but it just highlights that it's a waste of time in the grand scheme of things. Despite the calls from the elderly to handball less and kick it down the line or questions about our game plan.
We didn't get a single response that showed we were heard. Still can't pick the game plan, still handball and over possess the ball. The only other positive and constructive news I took from that night besides maysie's response (which suddenly sky rocketed him to be my favourite player) was the injury update for when they expect the players back.

I guess in the end the best course of action is to sign off on a group email asking questions of the club and demand a letter to fans to enlighten us. But realistically they'll keep cards close to their chest until after the review.

Yeah I'm hoping that sometime during summer post review and post a new Coach put in place we can have a fan night again.

And put a 30second buzzer on asking questions, I was furious that night by the behaviours that night of retired old farts that now feel irrelevant in the world with their chest beating about how they are the most famous person in section 43 and they were a foundation member and that they went for St Kilda before moving here, just like how my mates in here find me annoying with my Rocket talk, they are just as bad.

I let the club know too afterwards and I must do it again before the next one.

Good to know I wasn't the only one rolling my eyes every time someone stood up and started with "I've been following..... For..... Years".
 
The biggest concern for the GCS is the culture of the club and the ability of the club to retain "wanted' players.
I just had a tough look at the list and I will list the players I would want to keep due to age/experience/talent/contract and those that other clubs would be interested in poaching.

1. Matera
2. Fiorini
3. Day (injury a concern)
4. Lynch
5. Nicholls
6. Wright
7. Martin
8 Hall
9 Saad

Every club tries and pinch players from other clubs with varying success. However the state of GCS makes the sales pitch to lure players all that much easier.

If a player is from interstate and wants to go home and play finals what can the GCS offer?

Good luck to Evans and the board assembling an "off field" team that can take the GCS forwards.

And in the comments section of the online newspaper articles.
Stick together you blokes.
We have different opinions but we all love the club.

And any Gold Coasters that support other clubs that read this I ask you to really consider jumping onboard and supporting us and your local community.
This is a great time to come onboard as we head into a new phase in our short history.

Apparently the main board experts believe we need to relocate to Tasmania despite them having not one kid in the Allies team last year, and lower crowds than what we pull.
