Season 2025 - Gold Coast

Charlie Ballard confirmed ACL tear. Very innocuous incident.

He’s a pretty bl00dy important player for them. That hurts them.

Mac Andrew definitely plays back this season now.

I reckon Mac Andrew being forced into a defensive spot is the best thing for him.

He may be a decent tall forward, but I’m very confident he could be a multiple AA key defender.

Read could play that role and would be really good at it i think. Versatile, tall and a great kick.

Geez he looks amazing. I can’t get over how silky his skills are for a guy of that size. Clubs are going to put monster offers in front of him very soon.

If you wanted to keep Draper and play him as a guy who plays 70% ruck then Read would be the ideal sort of player to target as a key forward/relief ruck who plays the other 30% in there.

I really like Gold Coast’s pink guernsey for Gather Round. While it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, I think it looks fantastic. I’ve always thought Gold Coast should embrace a Miami Vice–style colour palette (black/pink/blue)—it works for Miami Heat.

It should genuinely be their home jumper.

Agreed. It just works.

Their home strip is just a piece of ■■■■, this colour scheme works so much better

The problem with that jumper is that you can see the logo.

They’d have to change their song too

Unfortunately looking like they may have got their act together.

It does look good, but I’d like to see the home jumper with an actual visible logo first before changing the colours permanently.

A yellow jumper with a red logo and side lines with red shorts would look great imo. Then the pink one could be the clash jumper. Instead of now with them trying to insert blue to their clash to be even more like the only other team in their state, the lions.

The yellow jumper with a red logo and red shorts would look great.
