Roos is a fraud!
No more of his disciples in the AFL. The sooner Lyon, Longmire and Goodwin are out of the comp the better

Bigger picture than that.
I’m not a fan of the Suns coming in but the Auskick participation rate in Queensland is greater than SA apparently and councils can’t produce enough ovals to cater for it. It’s going to be a long burn but the AFL will see it through

Perhaps, but all of those kids aren't playing AFL football and the ones that are are a 1 in 18 chance of ending up on the Suns list.

Genuine question.
Do you think the GC suffer from being a non football location therefore have to pay significant 'overs' to attract players away from the footballing meccas of Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth. Is this overweighed by the fact they are the Gold Coast one of the countries most iconic locations?
Personally if I had the choice of playing for GC or Essendon, Saints, West Coast, Port I would pick going to a 'football town'
Almost another version of the Sydney Cost of Living issue.

Gee what could help a struggling club in an area that is in a non football area to keep and retain players
