I am not pushing it. Pretty reliable source (as per previous experience) with links to the club. I will not disclose it.

I follow Saints pretty closely as my daughter partner is a big fan of Saints. Shame regarding Phillipou and Marshall injuries. Similar to Phillipou Suns Collins had stress reaction in his femur (hip area) round 9, 2019. After 6 weeks rest with no significant improvement he was shut down for a...

Apparently, Rowell asked Suns for permission to speak to Cats and it was granted (similar to Ainsworth last year). Who leaked the info to Cleary and why? What do you offer Cats (to Suns :) )?

Cleary should check with you first before going public. Just wondering who leaked it and why. For sure after 5 years and no success I can't begrudge players assessing their options especially if Dimma's noice has legs. It seems a bit similar to Ainsworth situation who met with clubs with Suns...

AGE Gold Coast Daniel Rioli is back on track after having an operation on his MCL in early December. The Suns are rapt with his progress as he prepares to make his debut for the club in 2025.

Where is the news about Suns not offering contract? I missed that. I was under impression he postponed any talks until season starts. On a side note, crazy Volcano views Rowell not at the same level as Anderson, Daicos, Ashcroft, Sheezel, LDU. Top money only for Anderson.

So in cold heart analysis, how would Rowell leaving impact Suns? Can other players play his role? Rowell is a tackling beast, contested possession machine but he is 100% inside and as a result the body gets banged up, he does not have another string to his bow, he is not fast, not big body...

Yeah, it will be all on the line in 2025. There are so many bloody good teams vying for finals. I still think we are too young. Continuous speculations about Rowell's future could have negative impact on the team. Apparently, there is some noise that Dimma is not sold on Rowell. As crazy as...

What about Humphrey, Graham?

Looking great.

We could see some serious meltdown from you if he leaves. You don't meet teams for fun so early. It's upto to Dimma, the coach - we must play finals.

Like in case of Smith this past trade period? They would offer what they will have. E.g. if they play finals, late 1st and future 1st (probably also late).

Haha, I kind of expected something like that. You don't meet other clubs before preseason for fun. No doubt he loved Dew and was disappointed when he was sacked. I had impression in his interviews that he is not overly excited about new regime under Dimma. Moving on his close friend Luko...

You mean two late first rounders? :) Too generous.

Nice post. Adding Rioli and Noble and Mac starting there our defence looks good with competition for spots. Good to hear Budarick pushes hard for a spot. It is midfield where I think we need to improve. Especially deliveries inside 50. Yeah, rotate Witts with Moyle. Clohesy and Weller on the...

Yeah, agree on Ashcroft. Some people show re-watch grand final. What Will did after coming from ACL was unbelievable. He's special. Happy to call him a generational talent.

Sure plenty of talent on many teams, competition was never more even. If Lions lost to GWS a lot of people would be critical of them. Besides talented young players with now finals experience Lions also have a lot of players entering or in their prime - 25-28 years bracket (Rayner, McCluggage...

AFLW: Rhyce Shaw on how the Gold Coast Suns academy influenced his return to coaching “It was a really difficult time for me at North Melbourne, I don’t shy away from that,” Shaw said of his exit from the Kangaroos in 2020. “I had my own personal issues going on and there were some football...

Lions list is loaded for sustainable success. Just look at young players and how they performed in Grand Final against Swans. They also attract players from outside (I suspect KPF is coming next off season). F/S and academy delivering. Brisbane people support winners. Good times ahead for...

Yeah, that makes sense. No offical AFL contribution data for 2024 yet, I assume. For 2023 GWS and Suns 25M then Lions with North and Saints 18-19M if I believe Age.

GM Daly this morning on SEN said that membership goes through the roof at the moment. More good times ahead for AFL in QLD. Credit to Lions. If I read correctly, I am just a bit surprised that they still receive AFL grant essentially of Suns level (only 1M less).

He is director of coaching in academy program and only for the last 2 years (and will still continue the role). Plenty more people deserve credit for academy players development plus more money were put into it. I like him a lot but I am actually wondering how good he is as a coach :) It was...

Thanks for the report. Yes, no doubt Dimma went with young players last year (he mentioned it a couple of times) with a view of a long run pay off. They are our future. But in 2025, we need to win more and play finals. It's now or we could be in trouble and it could cost us some signatures...

Yeah, Long was easily our best small/medium forward in 2024. I have high hope for Rogers if he can have a full pre-season.

Where do I start? Haha. Remember Jen's reports? Everything, every player, haha. What was the team doing? Any match simulation? Rehab players? How is Flanders? Where was Powell training? How is Cooper? Who impressed you, who did not. Did you talk to someone? Like did you check with Red Bull -...

Any chance of report from you? It would be greatly appreciated.

Is that Jepson without number?

Don't be tempted, go and report to us (poor souls who don't live on GC and can't go).
