Unofficial Preview Round 7 v Suns (Opposition Supporters Welcome)

[A11dAtP0w3R]

So you're clearly paying to fill it up each week

Of course.

Whats with the 5:10 time slot? Is that legit?

I really don't mind their name, it does at least have relevance to them. Being not very intimidating doesn't really matter. Crows, Blues, Magpies, Cats, Dockers, Saints, Swans and even Power and Kangaroos all hardly strike fear into the heart.
Their colours are quite meh, but the jumper design should be better. Designers still haven't figured out after all these years that simple is best and logos as the main feature on an AFL guernsey don't work.
A sun (big yellow dot) isn't the easiest thing to incorporate into a logo but a clever graphic designer should be able to come up with something that doesn't have the stupid GC inside a football.

I don't mind the nickname Giants or their colours but Greater Western Sydney/GWS, the logo and the jumper are all a mess.

In my opinion.

All of that shit is scarey.

Crows - murder of... Look at them. They're scarey. Alfred Hitchcock knew his market.

Blues - depression. Very real serious issue thing.

Dockers - scare the shit out of everyone. Governments have virtually fallen based on their shit.

Cats - who isn't freaked by cats? They're weird and they just stare at you with slanty eyes. I have two and they're terrifying. Last week I went to the loo, came back to find them on the stove polishing off a wok full of Beef Rendang. The litter trays over the next three days would freak anyone out.

Magpies - you clearly didn't grow up in Canberra. Scarey black and white bastards.

Swans - no direct experience but understand they are naturally angry and inclined to be aggressive. Anyway they are massive with freaky beaks.

Saints - no kidding. I used to avoid sleeping over at my Grandparents because of this insanely horrible statue of Thomas Aquinas. That is not a good guy. He has the cold, dead eyes of a serial killer.

Kangaroos - ??? You kidding? Have you seen the size of those big reds? I would run a mile except you know there is no point. The reason they don't kill everyone is probably because they don't choose to. Yet...

Power - sure. I'm cool with it. That's why I'm off to have a bath with the toaster.

Those are all scarey, scarey things. I pretty much support Demons in the hope our moniker could fight them all off if required.

It's legit and it makes plenty of sense

It's because of Mothers Day the next day (reminder for those who've forgotten), the AFL have learned the hard way that crowds suck on the day, so put an extra one on the Saturday and have just shoe horned it in to run into the game in Perth.

It's wreaked havoc with my Saturday plans thus far

It might run into the Perth game, but there is significant cross over with the Swans v Dons (where I will be) and the WB v Crows game. I'll be watching the replay the next morning.

Dare anyone to top that for quality.

I've been to the Gold Coast and it's a shithole. Feel sorry for our lads having to go up there.

Agree. I've been twice. Work - not choice. It is honestly my least favourite place in Australia.

Too many Chinese?

 

[Proper Gander]

Too many Chinese?

Didn't really reflect on that either time I think. I just hated it in broad terms

BTW the whole meter maid thing is shit, and WTF is the celebration of the most crowded and tacky beach location in a country where 90% of the population is located near to some of the worlds most glorious oceanfront? Gold Coast only makes limited sense as a terrible from overseas tourist destination. I truly don't get what it is there for

 

[Dark Avenger]

Their whole identity creation is a massive failure really, particularly when you compare it with GWS.

Starting with the name ... The Suns? ... Lets not worry about giving ourselves a moniker that will promote intimidation or fear in the hearts of opponents, lets go with the sun, because we're the Gold Coast, and its hot here.

The colour choices are odd. Didn't worry about any original colours, so went with red, yellow, white and blue ... but only use red and yellow for the home, because they're life guard colours, and we have a lot of them here.

And then the logo, what a piece of trash, boring, uninspiring and meaningless ... but, and I say this with experience of trying to design something better because surely anything must be better, its quite hard to come up with anything that would be an improvement, because they're the Suns, and its a terribly boring subject matter. Look at the Phoenix Suns for example, they've only made minor changes to the same logo for the last 24 years, because they've no where else to go!

The Sun is the most powerful thing in our solar system. It has killed more humans than a Tiger, Lion or Swan has & the scariest aspect of their nick name is the apostrophe implying there is more than just one sun.

Didn't get onto the good stuff campaigner was peddling obviously

Gold Coast is completely soulless, half the reason why clubs of any code don't last up there. Plastic shitehole with plastic people

 

[Higgs Boson]

The stadium, whilst it looks like it's made of mechano, is actually a terrific footy watching venue. I was up at the GC for a work retreat a couple of years ago. The then Chairman of the Suns gave us a tour of the stadium during a twilight match against the Dogs. Most seats are better than the best seat at the G in terms of closeness to the action to elevation ratio. They've also got an awesome function area/bar on the roof of one of the "grandstands".

But yeah, GC has herpes, Suns are a soulless, plastic franchise, Ablett is cooked and should retire, come at me biatches

Yep, stadium is excellent ... much prefer to go there than to the Gabba. Only 25,000 seats, so you're always in a good spot to watch, everything is new and there's a training field out the back to have a kick on, and also a pretty cool area with a stack of food trucks and live music as well.

The GC as a whole tho ... horrible place, the douche per capital ratio is off the charts, neck and face tattoo's everywhere.

There are nice places on the Gold Coast. I think you are all more referring to Surfers Paradise as 'the Gold Coast'. Surfers is a plastic shithole but places further south, away from the tourists are actually quite lovely, as is the Gold Coast hinterland.

That being said, Gold Coast Footy club can die in a fire for all I care.

You're right, despite my above thoughts there are some decent places, I don't mind Burleigh heads etc.

I actually wanted to check out Metricon tomorrow but I'll be on a plane overseas... 1st time the Dees have played in QLD for 3 years and I'll miss it..

Oooooo, your driver?!

Yeah, I had a mate who worked in central Java for a few years (Bandung) who had the driver and a maid and all that.
