@Sneakdefreak Thurston? Langer? Freddy?
They're big names but none of those three beat Benji or Joey.
I agree with that @Sneakdefreak
So many kids wanting to do the Benji move. But more than that his success at the Tigers in the grand final run showed the Aussies he wasn’t just another flash in the pan kiwi that so many OZ “greats” and commentators would often speak of.

SBW would be up there.

Gold Coast sack Brennan
The Gold Coast is even worse than Auckland for eating professional sportsmen alive. Everything that goes there sucks. Hard.

In any code. It's the sporting Bermuda triangle.

Suns and Titans are imploding.
Bring back the Gold Coast Rollers...

And the seagulls

The Suns have a dogshit list, and were at least competitive in the first half of the season. They are cooked now, and even their effort has gone.
The Titans on the other hand have an ok roster, but there is nobody there playing well except maybe Arrow, who is injured.

@mariner4life I don't follow AFL but why does the Gold Coast even have a team? I was there last year, barely saw any advertising of the side and went and watched them play Collingwood at Metricon infront of about 5000 people, yet more than half of them were Collingwood fans. Seems like a waste of time having a team there but I may be wrong.

@African-Monkey they actually get decent crowds considering their location and their results.
You can see why administrators want to crack the Coast, big area lots of money.
-
Reckon most of it is the ex-pat Victorians who have moved to the Goldy.
As you say most of the fans at Collingwood v Suns were Collingwood fans. I'd suggest the majority were Gold Coast residents.
They'll attract the ex-Vic crowd supporting their old team and hope the Suns become their second team. And hope their kids start supporting the Suns.
That's my theory anyway.
-
every week the game they play in , is probably the game of the round that less people give a fuck about,
bit of a difficult one for the AFL,
but the Brisbane Bears were a bit like that in the beginning
-
Could see Gold Coast relocating to Brisbane to become a second team there (sharing time between both venues). For whatever reason teams on the Gold Coast don't work.
Bring back the South Queensland Crushers!

@Sneakdefreak My mate's uncle is apparently putting together a new team for Brisbane. Brisbane Bombers.
New training facility and purpose-built stadium I think near the airport. I already have some kit I wear proudly haha OG supporter.
-
Any new team in Brisbane will go to Logan/ Ipswich.

Well they have my support. The Tits are no use to the NRL.

@Sneakdefreak Living on the GC I can tell you I would struggle to give the name of 3 titans and one of them would be Konrad Hurrell.....
No one I know supports the Titans, But the GC is a transient town. Most of the people who live here aren't from here. So they support other teams. To give you an Idea we run a work tipping comp and there is not one Titan supporter in the 20+ people who take part. A lot of the league loving population is Kiwi so they're all supporting the Warriors.
The Suns AFL team gets the same treatment. No one cares.

@raznomore as far as i can tell, people from the Gold Coast only support two things, narcissism and drug abuse.
As far as i can tell, the AFL and the Suns are looking real long term, and their target is the kids of those people who support existing AFL teams. They are in schools and regional areas in a big way. The state of the senior club is far from ideal, but it's not the be all and end all of the strategy (but continuing to be far from AFL standard would still be fatal).
Anecdotal evidence seems to suggest the Titans are ignoring this part of it, and are massively failing the local and kid engagement. You combine that with the continued bad decision making for the football team, and it's a disaster sitting there waiting to happen
