I think that crept up on everyone.

Who knew? The Gold Coast Suns players hate us.

Was it Don's Laughing Party? Stealing Rankine off them? McHenry's leg breaking tackle? Offloading Atkins and Himmelberg on them? Not sure where it comes from but the hate is real.

And what's more, the Crows players hate them even more.

Was it Mac Andrew vs Thilthorpe? Poaching Bock? The handouts? The Academy picks? The even more handouts? The bullshit Noah Anderson priority pick? Who knows but we got in their face with every goal.

Out of nowhere a grudge match has sprung up. Adding spice and fun to what usually would be a low key match up.

So congratulations Suns on your first ever rivalry.

And good news for us too. With Showdowns threatening to enter a post-Ken lull we needed something to fill the void.

All traditional rivalries start with hate. May it fester and grow.
 
You don’t hear or think about Nathan Bock much these days.

Wonder how he’s going

This is like the Essendon-North rivalry

They hate us because we have been completely dominant against them over our history. 15-5 total record.

They only time they've managed to beat us is while we've been rebuilding
And even then they can only beat us at their home (including Darwin).

They still have never beaten us at home.

In fact, Gold Coast have never won a game at Adelaide Oval. Their 2 wins in SA was their first ever win against Port at Footy Park and against North Melbourne in the Barossa during Gather Round this year.

Replay watch is going well.

Ahh, there it is. Jordan Dawson goal on the run.

I've pinpointed the second the Suns players, coaches and handful of fans all realised that they were pretenders

Eager to expand his horizons and challenge himself, Nathan joined the Gold Coast Suns for the fledgling club’s inaugural season in 2011.

Interesting but I thought the shed ton of money offered got him to the GC

Mate, if I could get paid a million bucks a year to do what I am already doing for my career right now, you'd better believe I'd be "expanding my horizons" too.

And even then for 3 of their wins against us at home they relied on an umpire ride.
