Hinkley and Port did a mistake then. A mistake we’ve repeated. It would have been better to all the parties, if Hinkley had started anew at GC. His tools are better suited for your situation than ours.

You've won 13 in a row. You've got nothing to be complaining about

Worth listening to whole part about Suns. A lot of nonsense, hysteria about Dew sacking.

“That’s crap”: Blight launches at Gold Coast Suns detractors

He has staunchly defended the club.

I didn’t think I could love Blighty any more than when I stood next to him and heard his expletive laden rant on that all time crab Aaron Hall
How many champions do we have who go in to bat for us?
And laying out nice and clear the leg up GWS got on us too

New coach is going to be Hardwick. Can almost be 99% sure of that.

if he for some reason isn't, I'd like to see Buckley, Hinkley, Josh Carr and Blake Caracella interviewed for the spot.

Would also love for us to get Leppitsch up as an assistant.

Sounds like he didn't oppose the sacking, just the timing of it, or that is how I read it.

Then good riddance Scurrah sirrah!!
If he didn’t understand why it had to be now he shouldn’t be on our Board
Hope the rich mahogany panelled boardroom door slaps you hard on your well tailored arse on the way out
And embarrassing the Club by a high and mighty early departure?
Piss off you old campaigner

Yeah, his views in this segment resonated well with me. Wish Vic media would listen to him a bit. He knows Suns situation quite well.

he was good in what he said and cut through all the crap, although he did us a disservice when they were going to cut Bluey the first time and tailor made a $300,000 a year mentoring role for himself and it allowed Bluey to stay on. If they had of cut Bluey then we would have had Kenny Hinkley way back then and I am sure our fortunes would be forever different

Is it not a bit shit that he shafted his old premiership teammate after texting Dew to say he isn't taking his job or something? I am all for the move by the way but man that is cold if that's how it played out.
 
Not to kick a guy while he’s down but damn

He really let Brodie Lyons Bowes wright greenwood and whoever else literally walk for nothing because he couldn’t see past their weakness.

And the fans had to sit there while every opposition fan base just shat on us.

Brodie was good last year, but has hardly played this year.
Bowes is barely playing at Geelong
Greenwood was no loss

Lyons and Wright have done well away from the Suns.

Plenty of sticks to beat him with but I'm not sure these really are the ones.

How they're performing at the other Clubs isn't the point
Much of the weird response from outsiders is "Poor Stewey.Sacked in mid season.Diddums"
I'm just saying you can't expect to wield a big stick and not have it whack you on the head later

To be fair it was seen as a patchwork GWS Cameron/Sheedy setup-as close as we could get
Just love that he's not a Campbell a*hole Brown or No talent Gorringe that can't think of anything better than dumping on us at every chance
Honestly, sometimes I think it's a new national sport
"Kick the Suns-say something derogatory about them!!Make yourself feel like THE Man!!!!!"

Doesn't it show that they maybe aren't that good?
 
I'm sure Dew wouldn't have any objections to Dimma taking the role. He would know Dimma's history and standing in the game, and if there is anyone that can take the club to success, Dimma would know how to do it.

And vice versa, its a business after all. Friendships should be put aside.

Very true but he is only human. You'd be pretty cut to know your mate has taken your job before you knew you were sacked IF the intel here is true. Again though, I am all for it and was good with us moving Dew on so just pointing it out more than anything.
 
One thing people haven't mentioned here is that Damien Hardwick will actually put bums on seats, especially early in the season. His stature is so big that he will literally be a drawcard for many fans. Whether we get the results to maintain it well that will play out as it will.

Also if he gives members a free bong on entry then I can guarantee we will unlock another segment of the Gold Coast demographic!
