Training 2017 Preseason Thread

[OB11]

My son is turning 5 next week and asked him what number he wanted on his back. He said Gazza, I said nah mate not happening. I said you can have Lynch, Maysie or Touk - he chanted 'Miller, Miller, Miller'.

Surely Touk is a shoe in to inherit Jaeger's Juniors, although with the way blokes swap clubs these days I would probably avoid using his name in the title of our junior club.

OFFICIAL DAVID SWALLOW RUNNING SIGHTING..... I REPEAT.... DAVID SWALLOW RUNNING SIGHTING!

And new training gear I guess? Certainly.... different. Gone away from the red, gold and blue we have had forever? I thought it may have been like generic BLK gear with logos stuck on as a place holder until we get our new sponsor or something, but now I dont know.

Jack Martin looks bigger

Jack Martin looks bigger

Still looks like a 17 year old about to start his first pre-season

Are you suggesting Jack Martin is actually immortal and will never leave us?

Just watching the latest video on the Suns website, is it just me or does just about every player have their knee taped. We need to invest in the worlds best knee specialist. http://m.goldcoastfc.com.au/video/2016-11-11/2017-preseason-mas-test

 

[Choppers]

Dunno about that, but for me, it was, "sh*t has he built up or what", and I'm not referring to one but most......

There's a new video on the website. Right at the end it has Pearce Hanley smirking at Jack Martin as he baulks around him.

How good!

Impressive effort by the group. Hall, Matera and GAJ who all get touted on this board as being selfish are being just that....

Looks like Lynch / May for captain

Can't believe the club gave Ablett extra time off again. Hope new co-captains Lynch and may rip into him for not being there for day 1 of pre-season, it just shows he's not fully committed to the Suns. & i hope the new captains tell Gaz he can't go to his normal mid season cult meeting in Sydney footy comes first now

 

[kreglze]

Honeymoon I'm willing to cut him some slack for. But just generally not not turning up when the rest of the team will be there is pretty poor stuff. Lynch and May need to be made captains ASAP.

David Swallow in full training

Lol at Fiat and BLK logos on the players' training gear.

100% Agree - Lynch and May to be co-captains next year.

Just need one final great decision to draft all highly rated mids/ halfbacks and we've made a terrific start to our 2017 campaign.

If Hanley can get back to best form we've got an absolute gun.

 

[Young_Guns]

He's back alright. wow.

 

[Scotty_222]

He's back alright. wow.

So sexy

Harley got into Barlows ear regarding move.

Michael Barlow says ex-teammate Harley Bennell provided a glowing endorsement of the Gold Coast

NEW Sun Michael Barlow says ex-teammate Harley Bennell provided a glowing endorsement of his former club.

Barlow trained with the Suns for the first time on Friday after signing as a restricted free agent last week.

The 28-year-old said he had sought counsel from Bennell, and another former Sun and Docker Greg Broughton as well as Suns assistant coaches Dean Solomon and Ashley Prescott about the club and life on the Coast.



Although all painted a picture of a club he would love to play for, he said it was the way the Suns made him feel he would be a valued addition that convinced him to choose the Gold Coast over several other options.

“With the Gold Coast situation, I felt like I was really wanted,” he said.

“There was a pitch to me to come and be involved.’’

Bennell left the Suns a year ago under strained circumstances after running out of chances with a football department who had tired of his off-field antics.

But Barlow, who has played 125 games for the Dockers, said the former No. 2 draft pick had been highly encouraging about playing football here.

“Harley’s time here was probably shorter than he would have liked and the club would potentially have liked, but he was really complimentary of the playing group and the lifestyle as well,’’ he said.


“I think, for me I have been in the footy bubble for seven years now and specifically this year it did become suffocating and at times overwhelming.

“I had a good chat to Harley about what it is like here and there is a god balance of being able to commit as fiercely as you can as a professional athlete but you can step away from it also at times.

“I have been in his ears a bit about the transition and to be honest he has been nothing but complimentary.’’

Man the new polos are hideous..

 

[LynchysMob]

Have a lot of respect for Harley doing that. Shows a lot of maturity that he's recognised it was his stuff up that sent him home and he can still speak highly of the experience being a footy player on the GC. No sour grapes at all. Have a lot of time for that and he's won back some respect from me.

Hope you get the body and head completely right and tear it up Harls

The Suns are looking for host family's for 3 weeks for the U18s academy pre season

If your interested give GCFC Digital a holla or Contact the club

Be a good way to be in the inner sanctum of the mighty Gold Coast Suns.
Could have the future jack Bowes staying in your home.
