Great game! Epic.
Pies claim thrilling 16th flag after CLASSIC grand final... but Lions rue 'ridiculous' late call that scuppered last chance
As a long suffering Suns fan, it would be great to see them at last make Finals.
Suns' season rests on bucking the bye trend
Well, we can say now, good pick of the Nuggets to win it all. The NBA playoffs were great viewing. I’m going to miss them.

Great game. Great series. Sports entertainment at about its best.

“Must be so frustrating for their supporters” Yes! More suffering for GC Suns fans.

I attended the Lions game at the Gabba. Great fun for a Lions fan to see them score so high and win so big. We took an international guest who was amazed to see a women’s sport like this.

Excellent article highlighting the importance of protecting players heads. Head injuries are the greatest threat to the future of AFL.

Good analysis. Thanks.

What is amazing is that the Gold Coast Suns have achieved the level of membership and attendance at games that they have, despite the poor on field performance for many years. When the Suns finally do achieve strong on field performance, watch the membership and attendance go up even further.
As a personal example, I live in Southeast Queensland and was an inaugural member of the Gold Coast Suns. However, to be honest, years of poor onfield performance put me off. Yet, metricon stadium is a great boutique stadium and public access to the stadium for me by train is very convenient, so when the Suns do give me a reason to get excited by better on field performance, I’ll be back.
Dear footy fans: Stop saying you want North or Gold Coast to move to Tassie
“The NFL divisional round has come to an end, and it featured some of the greatest NFL games that I have witnessed in my three years of watching the league.” Says the author.
The NFL divisional round has come to an end, and it featured some of the greatest NFL games that I have witnessed in my SIXTY years of watching the league. Say I. Incredible games! So exciting.
An NFL Sunday to remember
I remember the bad old days when the Lions were usually in the bottom of the ladder, so I’m not going to complain that three top four finishes in a row are disappointing seasons.

Will the lions try a new game strategy, or just the same strategy substituting the new guys for Eric hipWood?

With all due credit to Richmond for its success over the last few years, it would be nice to spread the success around to some other teams now.
Melbourne versus Richmond could be the game of the year so far
The Suns have been cruelled by injuries, to Rowell and Witts. It’s no excuse, but keep it in mind.
As a South East Queensland AFL fan, I would love to be more enthusiastic about the Suns, as I think many others would also be. But I’m tired of the years of poor performance on field. If they could at least, finally, get to mid table, the crowds will come. I never understood why the Suns’ management thought Stuart Dew would be the saviour of the team.

Nice article. To see the good in the ‘bad’. These days we too often see the purely negative and unconstructive. (So it was nice to see this article.)
The best worst game ever
Gold Coast Suns women’s team may do (much) better than the men’s team.

It may be hard for non-Suns supporters to understand how much supporters of this team have suffered. This team has NEVER made finals. The fairest test of the success of AFL on the Gold Coast will be if the suns have a run of on-field success, including a few years in the finals, and we see how attendance and membership grows. I predict with on field success, both attendance and membership will grow, and grow more than people outside of Gold Coast might expect.
