    Transferred: As such the football component of the evening will transferred back to the Metricon Stadium precinct, however unfortunately due to the restricted access the club is not in a positon to open this to members and fans.

    2018 general discussions

    The drainage at the Bond AFL ground is pretty good. Directional signs are out this morning (take the left hand exit at the first roundabout on University Drive) and there should be parking around the ring road - first in better dressed. Not a lot of places to avoid the rain if that continues.

    Review Rd 23 vs Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval- Sat, 7.10pm.

    Ladder finishing position and a bit of pride on the line. Would be good to see us turn up for more than one quarter.

    List Mgmt. Farewell Ablett - Officially back to the Cats

    The smug look on his face at the photo shoot after the game, when supporters were still hurting from the loss, was enough to convince me he has checked out.

    Autopsy Rd 16 V Collingwood. Metricon, Saturday 4:35pm

    At least four members of the cheer squad are meeting with the Prime Minister before the game; this is the Official Opening of the SUNS Elite Training & Administration Facility. Apologies to Robbo, the Sunscreamer's Skipper; Metricon can't hold up banner this week.

    Which AFL teams do Fitzroy fans support?

    Yes, now a member of the Suns cheer squad after many years in the wilderness. Never, ever thought of supporting Brisbane (it's a minor industrial suburb north of the Gold Coast).

    Review GC vs West Coast round 11 @Metricon

    It was a good afternoon for a cheer squad member. Lots of doubt but the boys got over the line. Wet Toast supporters couldn't believe we got up.

    Preview Gold Coast v Melbourne, Rd 10, Alice Springs

    After China we needed a bye so the supporters could pick themselves up off the ground and have time to recover. Aggh! When we turn up to play it is an inspiring sight. Suns: if you want to play finals you need to win on the road - don't let us down.

    Preview Gold Coast v Melbourne, Rd 10, Alice Springs

    The last game we played in Australia we had a mighty win. Looking forward to an away win in Alice.

    Preview Round 8. Gold Coast V Port Adelaide. CHINA

    Scheduling this game on Mothers Day will require some careful logistics. Needs to be lunch finished, visitors taken home, and return to base in time to watch the game.

Winds S 15 to 20 km/h tending SE 15 to 25 km/h in the morning then becoming light in the evening. Daytime maximum temperatures in the low to mid...

    Autopsy JLT Game 3: Suns v Dogs @ Metricon

    Somewhat excited to meet Robbo the cheer squad skipper tomorrow. Hope we have the flags and floggers out. Last year they were still in the shed for the pre-season. Go Suns!

    Which AFL teams do Fitzroy fans support?

    Was a Fitzroy fan who never went to Brisbane. Spent many years in the wilderness not having to worry about September events that might clash. When I lived in Nth Fitzroy I did enjoy a cold beer and $5 steak at the front bar of the Lord Jim (the Clayton & Rendell era). Now a Suns Cheer Squad...

    How to increase crowd excitement at Metricon

    The cheer squad, when we are winning, is an awesome place to be. The designation of a voluntary "Skipper" to lead on game day is a step in the right direction. Identifying shirts is another good step, promoting a sense of unity. The trumpeter works and is very popular; not sure of the tune...

    How to increase crowd excitement at Metricon

    The lack of assigned seating in the cheer squad area is a downside of Sunscreamers membership. My two daughters prefer toward the front seats, my wife the rear (away from incoming footballs and closer to the coffee cart). My friends - one prefers an aisle seat, one other toward the front. In my...

    Analysis Let's talk about the board!

    At this point in the season watch for the announcement of at least two board changes; they will have the obligatory: blah, blah, PR waffle and smiley faces all round. If they are solid Gold Coast citizens, with undoubted acumen, Big Footy fans might ask whether it is all as announced or whether...

    Preview Rd 7. SUNS vs Melbourne @ Metricon

    I have the uneasy feeling our finals chances, our future membership, our occasional supporters and our standing in the eyes of the Gold Coast community have reached the tipping point for 2016. If we lose this match without a hard contest, it will be .... time to start planning for 2017.

    Rocket very pissed off at the end of the game - didn't want the supporters to clap them in.

    The four tipped are the new Northern GC seat yet to be established, plus Southport, Gavin and Currumbin. Hmm, what about Broadwater?

    Preview Rd 3. SUNS vs. Blues @ Metricon

    Good game; spoilt by the membership nasties (I cleaned that up) attempting to take the names of cheer squad members who haven't yet signed the 'code of conduct'. Did you notice there wasn't many people holding up the banner ... Was good to see Targetman in the last quarter ribbing the trumpet...

    Surely the Prime Minister will heed good advice and not schedule a federal election for Saturday 2 July 2016? That's a home game at Metricon against St Kilda (1:40 pm start).
