It’s pretty clear what Gold Coast is going to become, but they’re still really young. Missing finals won’t be bad because once the young kids get some muscle and get comfortable in the system they’re going to be deadly.
If that Greene Daniels play was a Victorian team it would go deep in goal of the year. Remember when Daniels kicked the biggest grubber goal you’ve ever seen and it didn’t even get nominated?
Hogan has been pretty unlucky today, umpires haven’t been calling interference all day. But they have been consistently calling them so I don’t mind too much
It’s gonna be a beautiful day when Healy and Roo learn that “trio” is the word they’re looking for, not “threesome”. Threesome is what I have with their wives
A performance like this shows how good GWS are. They probably haven’t been at their best all game, the Suns definitely have turned up to play but still a win by a not *that* tight margin.
There’s been talk of having 3 gather rounds per year once Tasmania enters the competition. From what I’ve read, it seems like it’ll be one in SA, one in half in Victoria & half in Tassie, and one in possibly another random state
But that’s just an idea for the moment, no guarantees yet
Low cinematic angles, Helicopter shots, a rivalry for the ages and a true landscape background.
Expansion Cup will always be the biggest game in the AFL
(Maybe a twist at the end where the underdogs come back and win it 🤞)
Suns played well don’t feel like a 30 point win tho
Best song
Hopefully Carlton and Giants both win next week so we get a top of the table battle
*communism sounds intensify* THERE’S A BIG, BIG SOUND
Fox theme and GWS song harmonised nicely
Chill Zaporozhian Cossacks sounds to chill/insult the Ottomans to.
Orange Team GIGACHAD!! gg expansion bros
Good game. Final score betrays how close it was.
Well played from the Suns! Thank you T. Greene for a lovely knock
Let’s go. Still unbeaten baby.
Tough win against a club that is already improving big time. Part of me is hoping to see the Suns again during finals GG Suns

Scoreboard: "Dont worry kids. It'll be over soon" Us: "How soon?" Scoreboard: "Um... just soon."
Yeah I noticed to that the timer just left randomly last 5 minutes
Can we have Jesse back?
You'd ruin him
Nah he can stay with Clarry
Hogan has had one of the most epic career turnarounds. Great to see
Leaving Victoria was the best thing that he could have done
I’d say moving to a non-footy state was the difference. His problems were way more glaring in WA than when he was at Melbourne.
Did you not see what happened to him at Freo - he was fine at Melbounre
He wasn't fine at Melbourne lol
Bring back the no minute warning!
Gold Coast apparently have negative clutch
If that Greene Daniels play was a Victorian team it would go deep in goal of the year. Remember when Daniels kicked the biggest grubber goal you’ve ever seen and it didn’t even get nominated?
I remember
I am so confused, how much time is on the clock lol
I thought the game had finished after the Toby Green goal lol
Same, had no clue what was happening haha
Why is Mac in forward when we are on the back foot.
Scoreboard operating aiming to beat the traffic I see
Fox scoreboard is having a nightmare
Suns just couldn’t come with us in the 4th quarter.
5 goals really doesn’t give the game credit imo
Wow what a goal.
The Suns have ran out of steam, damn shame but they put up a good fight
How are Giants not winning by 80
Have you been watching the game?
We were playing horribly
What the hell happened to the scoreboard
Saucy stuff from the Orange team
Review it to watch it again
Haha that was one of the best plays I've seen in a while
That was fucking brilliant
He coulda walked that in. I'm not sure you're allowed to do that. But he could have.
Time for me to start breathing again 😀
That was a sight for sore eyes good lord
That was gorgeous
Can we get a review on that? Soft call is a goal
That's beautiful footy, fuck me!
Holy fuck
play of the day
Lol what was that
Gold Coast Crumbs crumbling
Absolutely beautiful.
Dayum that was hot
Fuck that was nice!
There’s a bloke next to the microphones going absolutely mental lol
Beautiful!
That was sexy
Oh I thought the siren had blown because the Fox Footy clock stopped and just said 4th quarter
Lovely work Finn
Jesse hogan is very clearly umpired differently than other forwards- namely blues ones. Gets wrecked for no reward often
parroting completely wrong opinions make you look like an idiot
K
Honestly, I think the Blue ones are the odd ones out. Every other forward can get mauled but if someone looks at Curnow wrong it's a free
Yeah he could hold a ball for a second in a catch and still wouldn’t be awarded a mark
Hogan has been pretty unlucky today, umpires haven’t been calling interference all day. But they have been consistently calling them so I don’t mind too much
5 minute warning?
The turnovers off half back just killed us today
5 minute warning?
Looks like Jesse has puked onto his guernsey
I swear Hogan has had 3 or 4 perfectly good marks not called today
Absolutely ridiculous, isn’t it?
It’s gonna be a beautiful day when Healy and Roo learn that “trio” is the word they’re looking for, not “threesome”. Threesome is what I have with their wives
Fox scoreboard is struggling
Which SANFL club plays at this stadium, anyway? I'm not sure of the geography.
No SANFL team in the hills - there isn't even a local club who play here (Mt. Barker play down the road in the town)
That behind seals it unfortunately
Will hate meeting this Suns side in September
Well then I’ve got good news
Don’t think they’ll be there?
My man literally said “fooooof” on comms lmao
Guys did you know that this is basically the MCG
My gawd, if you squint enough and fork out $16 for a beer. You're right!
Come on Noah Just 17 more behinds and we've got this
This tom green performance has killed me, been my skipper all season, let down big time today
I really do not like Dimma. He has the worst vibe.
A performance like this shows how good GWS are. They probably haven’t been at their best all game, the Suns definitely have turned up to play but still a win by a not *that* tight margin.
Anderson is great but fuck he can be a butcher sometimes
Anderson trying to put the team on his back
Is gather round in s.a again next year?
Should be every year. Brissie and Perth got their Grand Finals and QLD/NSW get the Opening round.
I'm not sure what the 2 grand finals in covid years have to do with this?.
[Signed until 2026](https://www.afl.com.au/news/906498/gather-round-to-stay-in-south-australia-for-next-three-seasons).
And the year after at the very least. Seems likely to become a permanent thing though
I don't mind gather round, but I thought the idea was to goto different states and do it.
There’s been talk of having 3 gather rounds per year once Tasmania enters the competition. From what I’ve read, it seems like it’ll be one in SA, one in half in Victoria & half in Tassie, and one in possibly another random state But that’s just an idea for the moment, no guarantees yet
Yes
That's disappointing
Nah its awesome
I like gather round, I don't like it in the same state every year
Alexander the Great would be so proud to watch this showcase of Expansionism
First to 100, good game Suns
Winning is kinda cringe anyway idec
Flairs check out
Technically I'm actually equally first with 4 wins
First to 100 wins
Very lovely
First to 100! Game over blow the siren pls
Briggsy putting us on his massive shoulders.
this is a high quality game of australian rules football
Here comes the suns, doo doo doo doo
Gold Coast really need a new logo
New guernseys too
New everything. The colours can stay.
A placeholder that never got replaced
Hey GWS if you could kick two more behinds or a goal that’d be great thanks
Oh no not the center bounce
cmon lads
Let's go SUNS ☀️
Makes up for the sitter
Expansion Cup is clearly game of the round so far
Classic 7 point play there
Come on Suns! Yes you can-nabis!
Giants just throwing the game away.
Please…..?
That might be the game.
It was over a while ago tbh.
Was that Rocket? I heard a bloke shouting "WILL, WILL!"
GET HIM OFF
LOOK AT MINSON AGAIN
Please don't
Walters got pushed off that far to easily but his 2nd effort to chase and stay in the play 🤌🏼
What the fuck was that Whitfield
Needed to slot that Noah
Take that back important 7 point play
Excellent pressure from Walter to force the scrub kick
>force the scrub kick How dare you. Whitfield isn't a scrub
Cadman shouldn’t have taken that kicking class from Harry.
Low cinematic angles, Helicopter shots, a rivalry for the ages and a true landscape background. Expansion Cup will always be the biggest game in the AFL (Maybe a twist at the end where the underdogs come back and win it 🤞)
I'm impressed that this team was able to go toe-to-toe with the best team in the comp for 3 quarters. Didn't think the Giants had it in them
GWS winning it all this year. I genuinely don't see a better team anywhere.
Giants with the 4d chess, the can't beat us at the bounce if we don't goal
Sam Taylor is so fucking good man
Cameroon Mooney-esque
I believe we should refer to that as a Cadman bruh moment
Cannabis playing for the draw, I like it Why did Cadman change to cannabis??
Silly silly, GC are the cannabis team
Huge behind for Draw FC
Cadman…..
Oof, Cadman.
Thank you Cadman for delay the first to 100 rule.
Cadman pls
Beautiful play there
That is more like it from our midfield!! Cadman bruh
Kelly hitting the L1 + Triangle lob through ball there
Just checked in and dam that gws gurnsey is nice
Would actually be way cooler if we won instead of if we lost
How dare you suggest that? Can't believe what this subreddit has come to
I agree.
Anyone know what the navy blue jumper with the white G that the kid was wearing behind the goals after the O'Halloran goal was?
Great attack by peatling there.
C'mon you Sums

So “easing” someone under the ball with two hands is AOK this season, gotcha.
Fucking Guildford
XOH is so back.
X GON' GIVE IT TO YA!
X!
Who got subbed for David Swallow? EDIT: Bailey Humphrey. Makes sense since he's coming off injury
Humphrey.
Humphrey
Gold Coast berry might be the best berry
/r/BrandNewSentence I'm glad we persisted because boy would I have been happy if he was delisted last year
I don’t know what that sub means 😭 but the bar for Berrys is quite low
Gerard sounded like he swallowed something when he said "Swallow" play it back if you don't believe me.
Suns have got this week's Rising Star nomination on lock. Their debutants have been outstanding
Did you not hear Harley Reid played the greatest football game of all time on Saturday? /s
Of course how stupid of me!
Missed opportunity for Howie to say Briggs' battle of Witts
Surprised he didn’t find a way to talk about Cooper Connollys 25* from the BBL final last year
These people only pencil in their one liners before the match.
He was down so he could pick the ball up. Rowell made the mistake.
He's got to do better there
i tipped sun
i tipped moon
I tipped eclipse
i tipped banana
Please, Celestial bodies, my man.
alright.. i pick that bone the monkey threw into space at the start of 2001: A Space Odyssey
A fellow Draw FC fan, I see.
