Round 1 Dons V Suns 26th March 3:30pm(Qld time) - Metricon Stadium

Is Gablett back playing yet?
I think his 1st actual hit out will be against us, I hope they rest him because they think we're easy beats.

If he does play he will spend plenty of minutes forward, If that happens hopefully Baggers has the instruction to hit him hard every contest.

Do what Fitzroy did to us in that final at Waverley, savage knee to the thigh at every opportunity.

Am I right in thinking there is a "meet and greet " function for supporters on at metricon at the us v GCS game apart from the expensive "Bomber Lounge - Gold Coast function"?

The cost of the tickets for the Bomber Lounge thing isn’t the main price.
I got mine in the mail today.
The main price is having to wear the supplied lanyard or be refused admittance

That is seriously insulting. Or else a really big ■■■■ up.

Yep. It’s a tad insulting.
But good on 'em.
I’d hope we would do the same thing

Are you sure it’s for the right function? You wouldn’t want to end up with GCS supporters…

Yep. Right function alright.
Mailed to me by EFC, in a branded EFC cardboard envelopey thingy.

Boy! Has EFC got a sense of humour or what Boot?

To be honest, I'm excited and jealous of those going this week.

Who else reckons we are a chance?

I’m giving the boys 3 or 4 games to get used to playing each other. And then win every game from there on.

Farking beautiful. Thank you Tinhill. We just rang Emerald Lakes Golf Club (directly opposite metricon) and made a dinner reservation and organised car parking. Fark the buses and trains.

Will be driving to the game, what is car parking like and how much will the bandits slug me?

No such thing as public parking at the ground.
Shuttle buses.

We are parking over the road at the golf club.
Costs $20.
But if like us, you have dinner at the golf club after the game, you get your $20 back.

Unless it’s changed from last year, I think it’s pretty hard to find a carpark anywhere near the ground. Best bet is to park at Nerang station and get the bus from there. Only about 5 or 10 minute ride from there. That carpark is free.
But get there early (like 1.5 hours before the bounce) or you might miss a park.

Otherwise do what Reboot is doing in the post above yours

Is this the ground in the stix they used to call Carrara? Was the arx end of the Gold Coast, now in the middle of it.

Is there a Heppell thread? I can’t find it. I want to know what night he is on AFL360. I want to watch him but don’t want to watch another minute of that show

He was on tonight.

He will be a Thursday night regular throughout the year too to talk footy

Cheers for that.
Will give them a call tomorrow

Wi-fi now available at Metricon Stadium for Gold Coast Suns matches.
THE Gold Coast Suns have trumped their big-city cousins with the introduction of high-density wi-fi at Metricon Stadium, leaving Suncorp Stadium and the Gabba looking outdated.
Queensland’s newest football team can now offer its fans a service denied to the Broncos, Reds, Roar, Lions, Titans and Cowboys as well as crowds at Bulls, Heat and Test cricket matches.

Stadiums Queensland is facing increasing pressure from sports fans and major tenants.

High density wi-fi is now common at major venues around the country but Metricon Stadium is the only venue in Queensland to offer it.

The project cost about $2.5 million at Carrara, but would be closer to $4 million for Suncorp and the Gabba.

The wi-fi rollout was installed by Chinese tech giants Huawei, who have implemented similar projects at the homes of European soccer giants Borussia Dortmund (Germany), Ajax Amsterdam (Holland) and Rangers in Glasgow.

Ideal for radio 3DJR.
