It's hard to feel "fearless" when we've seen so much agony in this city. I think anyone that's been associated with Gold Coast sports at the professional level has been burnt at some point in the past, and most likely on more than one occasion. So I don't blame you for feeling that way. It's weird to think that there's probably only been one season in both the Suns and Titans combined years that I felt like the Gold Coast team might be able to do something special. That was in 2010 when the Titans made it all the way to a home prelim and had stars like Prince, Presto, Rogers, Bailey, Friend, Mini, Bird etc. They were fun times.I have a few friends who support the Brisbane Lions and I remember how hesitant they were to feel confident going into games for virtually the entire 2019 season when they made the jump from 15th to 2nd. That doubt hung around for a while and it wasn't until finals were secured that it started to change. I think we're going to see that at the Suns this year, but there are two aspects that are filling me with confidence for the future. The first is Damien Hardwick - literally one of the best AFL coaches of all time - and the second is the emergence of our academy as a genuine breeding ground for high level talent.I kind of view our academy situation like this is what would happen if the Titans were given exclusive access to all the best talent that PBC and Keebra produced every year. Imagine how good the Titans would be if Gold Coast products like Reece Walsh and Payne Haas were zoned to the Titans. Game changer.Anyway. Back on topic. Should be interesting to see how the Titans respond against Newcastle today. Particularly given it's Tino's first game at Robina in over a year.
