Probably similar to what it's like north of Brisbane. I presumed you were from the Gold Coast but it would appear you aren't. As a Queenslander, you should have some sort of hope they do well, right? Or are you one of those code haters that hates AFL and Union because you are told to by the media?
Not a Code Hater at all. If you were prepared to look back through my posts you'd find I'm open to all of them. Especially any Gold Coast team that competed in any National Comp. Only thing I can say about AFL is I don't get it. I've tried numerous times, and especially with the Suns inaugural year, but it's not for me.
Even had a couple old school mates back in high school try and teach me many moons ago (early 80's Keebra Park). But every time I went play at the ball or kick it. They'd scream out 'kicking in danger'. By the end of that I found it easier just to stand there 'n watch the ball dribble pass me if it came anywhere near me. What's a bloke to do?
Who told you that you have to like the sport? If anything it seems to me like the biased NSW and QLD journalists tell us to hate the sport because of the pulling power they have with governments. I understand it is a league forum and I have posted about league stuff in the past but this particular part of the forum is intended to discuss other sports and this thread is about the Gold Coast Suns so I don't see why you are so surpised about that?
I wasn't so much preaching as much as I was trying to get someone to see that the one-eyed nature of people in this city has cost as many sports teams. I just hate seeing these teams go under because it not only decreases the chances of the sport ever coming back but also gets Gold Coasters out of jobs. I just can't see why people would want that to happen? Put your personal differences aside and think about the impact this has on peoples every day life. You don't have to watch it, you don't have to like it but you should at least be supportive of a team from the Gold Coast, regardless of whether you like the sport or not.
SUNS titan their tackling pressure
Video footage of the boys at Carrara today training with the Suns. Looking back through this thread, there was so much hate for the Suns and people laughing at a team that was full of kids developing. Steve Dangerous said it best:
The two teams are working together, so why can't the supporters?
Because the AFL believe in imperialism. I'm not interested myself but I encourage anyone to follow whatever sport they want.
I'm all for Gold Coast sports working together because pragmatically the body count is far too high. Blaze, Aces, GCU and the Chargers who were culled even though they were profitable. And also the failed Brisbane Bears who used to be based at Carrara.
I'm all for both codes working together with scheduling to ensure sports fans are given max opportunity to participate and that we get max benefit from the investment of gov money into sports facilities.

Impressed with your attitude mate. The death count of GC sports teams is definitely too high and working together will help never see the Suns or Titans go under. To take a saying out of the Suns book - Together We Are Stronger.
A mini breakthrough in this thread and how people view them might see actual conversation about how the Suns are trekking. I'll kick it off. They've had 7 wins this season and will probably finish 14th on the ladder.
Don't be put off by the Suns and just start laughing at them again. Lets have a civil conversation about our neighbours. If you can't do that, you probably shouldn't be posting here.

Fair call. It probably helps the Suns cause that they are no longer getting belted each week and have a respectable amount of wins this season. GWS are an easy target but I guess it's like any team on the bottom of any ladder. Ridicule will come if your team is not performing. I certainly remember when we picked up the spoon two years ago and people didn't go easy on us.
I wonder how the GC public would react if both the Titans and Suns were doing well at the same time. It'd be pretty awesome if both clubs were selling out games every week.
Just a week to go until the Suns are back on the park against Essendon at Metricon. Yes, I know a lot of you don't care but hopefully someone on this forum is willing to discuss it (in a non-abusive way). I would discuss other Aussie sports as well but I'm not a huge fan of cricket.
