Phones not working on the GC? Surely Evans doesn't need to fly to Europe for this.

AFL’s shout remember surprised it’s not Gill heading over or has he left finally…
Hard to keep up

5 years? He better be bringing baker and Balta with him

Dusty and Riewoldt I heard

Dusty and Riewoldt I heard

Dusty I can sorta understand. Marquee player, in the mid/small role for a few years. Marketable as hell, even at his age. And he does fill a spot of need.

Reiwoldt though? Nah. Absolutely no need for him with the talls we have now and have coming through.

Gold Coast are a step closer to confirming Damien Hardwick as their next coach, with club chief executive Mark Evans planning to jump on a plane to talk to Hardwick on his European vacation.

A senior club source, who was not authorised to speak publicly on the issue, has confirmed to The Scoop that the club reached out to Hardwick via phone last week to enquire if the three-time premiership coach at Richmond was interested in continuing his senior coaching career at the Suns.

Following that conversation, the club devised a clandestine plan to send a senior representative to Europe to meet Hardwick face to face.

A senior industry source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Hardwick was expected to be offered a five-year contract.

Gold Coast’s sole focus is now to agree to terms with Hardwick before the end of the season. The Scoop has not been able to identify any other candidates in the process.

Knowing the level of AFL “journalism” I fully expect to walk past Mark in Mermaid Beach this afternoon

Big test for King this weekend to coach his first game without Touk out there. He needs to use this situation to galvanise the playing group and motivate them even more to go out and pull off an upset victory over the Crows at the Adelaide Oval. Us against the world mentality.

True
How about the rumours King is leaving though ?
Would be a ready replacement
King may not leave if Hardwick is there , list is good .

It’s all looking roses for GC tbh , will be good to have them get a decent run after being constantly pillaged
Place needs a shake up and a hard ass like Dimma is probably the right man for the job .

King contracted until end of next year, has given zero indication he’ll leave.

Have Chol sitting in the VFL who kicked more goals than Riewoldt last year.

Will draft a hulking young power forward in the top 5 this year from the suns academy.

Riewoldt would be a mentor playing in the VFL at best.

Wonder what will happen next year if Dimma coaches and is 0-7 .. Will he be sacked? Club has a rich history of doing it.

Which club?

Is that you Dayne? Sounds like someone with sore balls.

 

[Young_Guns]

Rich history? Please give us all the examples.

Maybe he means 0 seasons making finals out of 7 seasons in charge, like Dew was about to hit?

 

[CommittedSuns]

I love silly season… all the gronks from other clubs coming on our board talking rubbish. It’s more entertaining then some of our games at times

Voss says hi. Dip shit

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

Jon Ralph just reported on Fox Footy Mark Evans has returned from Italy and after extensive conversation Damien Hardwick wants the job supposedly, apparently $6 million over 5 years. Will probably be announced in the next few weeks.

Norm dare lasted 22 games before getting the arse at the bears.


He went on to be named the coach in Queensland’s team of the century after he couldn’t stop winning QAFL premierships
