The new Gold Coast FC has officially decided tonight to go with no nickname at all and the colours red, white, blue and yellow.
The logo is a red circle/oval with GC in white and yellow and blue trim around the outside of it.
-
And the mascot is just as hilarious. :rollin
-
Here's the GCFC logo ....

Yeah, so much for consulting the public. :banghead Favourite name polled was Gold Coast Marlins.

Actually dont mind the name Marlins at all and not a bad looking jumper that mero's cme up with either
-
Marlins logo is better than that pathetic looking logo they have come up with now. Reminds me of that loser looking logo Freo had in their frst few seasons in the AFL.
-
The logo looks like an NFL one. Surprised the Lions haven't complained about the colours being similar.
Surely they will have a mascot by their first AFL season?
Yep they have a mascot - a cartoon lifesaver.
-
Yeah I personally liked Marlins. Colours too much like Crows or Lions. And the stupid cartoon lifeguard is too much like the Dockers thingy.

The only positive I see with this whole GC17 thing is that we (RFC) are more likely to make at least one trip to Qld every year once they enter the competition....
And I reckon Qld trips are the best in the AFL :thumbsup
Right Julz ;D

wtf are they kidding.
no logo you have got to be joking.
what a disgrace. I hope they go well but as for west sydney i hope they die a slow death so i can watch the face of demetriou and his puppets

Actually, daniel what is a disgrace regarding West Sydeny is the fact that the AFL are going ot pour so much money into it and it will not work.
West Sydney is rubgy league heartland,have about as much chance as taking in an AFL club as i have barracking for St Kilda ;D
Wait until tomorrow night and see the crowd.... I hear don the news tonight they've hardly sold a ticket... would think there is a message there
Let's just see how popular AFL is in Sydney when the Swans start sliding down the ladder... their crowds have been down this year and they have had a half decent year
Andy D has no idea, either that or he lives on the moon

you know what im going to do every game west sydney play in their first season.
make myself popcorn like newman in the last episode of seinfeld and enjoy watching that boat sink. Ill be laughing my behind off.
Andy d is a disgrace to himself and a disgrace to the AFL. They would love no more than the kangas, buldogs and even saints to crumble.
he is only concerned about money. stuff him
-
They're dreaming if they think they can get $40,000 members! Most AFL supporters I know say they will still support their current team. I think the AFL let their run a bit late, especially know the Titans are around.
Mini-me has been arguing with her NRL class-mates about the two codes. She cops the usual "AFL" but was quick to reply that she didn't know of any gay afl players and what about Ian Roberts? :lol

I will call them the Gay Coast for now or until they come up with something better that what they say they are keeping.

GC17 makes final submission
By Jennifer Witham and AAP
4:20 PM Mon 13 October, 2008
THE GOLD Coast is confident of claiming the AFL's 17th licence after making a final submission to the AFL Commission on Monday.
GC17 bid team leader John Witheriff said the criteria set out by the AFL had not only been fulfilled but exceeded, and AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou said the commission had been impressed with the submission.
"We got 43,000 (members) in the end," said Witheriff, who confirmed a total 124 business had committed to the club.
A nationally known company has signed up for the club's naming rights.

Gay Coast? Bit off for those of us who happen to live there
-
Having lived and played AFL in Western Sydney for abount 20 years you guys are spot on. It is a grab for television ratings and a hope that a populous area can be turned from rugby league. AFL is not growing in popularity in Western Sydney it is declining in line with how the Swans popularity is going.
A Western Sydney team is going to be the white elephant of all white elephants.
The only positive is that there is a chance of me seeing the tiges one more game per year and that it is likely to be a smashing for a few years until the lop sided draft has its effect.
For this reason alone I am glad for a team in Western Sydney

The final tick off for the new GC17 club by the AFL which was expected today has been delayed by a month until the next AFL board meeting.

GC17 has been delayed again. Now it has to wait to February.

AFL here in 2011
Mike Bruce
THE Gold Coast will become an AFL city in 2011 after a dramatic $60million funding pledge for a new stadium unveiled by the State Government yesterday.
In the biggest announcement of the election campaign so far, Premier Anna Bligh revealed the State Government would tip in $60million to redevelop the existing stadium at Carrara, effectively paving the way for the AFL to sign off on the the nation's 17th AFL licence to be based on the Coast.
Not only will the windfall mean the Coast will now secure its own AFL team, it may also provide a fillip for the city's bid to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games with a $130million facility with a seating capacity of 25,000.
``It will be suitable for use in the Commonwealth Games if our bid to attract them to the Gold Coast is successful, and it will be home to a new AFL team for the Coast,'' said Ms Bligh. ``This will create a 175m x 128m AFL oval capable of being scaled to accommodate an international-standard cricket oval, athletics field and soccer field on the Gold Coast.''
The announcement removes the last stumbling block for a sign-off on the Coast's AFL licence a funding deal to build a new AFL-compatible stadium and kills speculation surrounding the AFL's real desire for a Gold Coast team.
Speculation about the prospects of a Coast team began to mount late last year when the AFL Commission repeatedly postponed a decision on the bid, despite affirming that the application met all criteria.
The state's $60million funding builds on the Gold Coast City Council's pledge of $20million, but is contingent on the AFL securing the shortfall of $50million from either its own funds or the Federal Government.
But Ms Bligh was `optimistic' that the Federal Government would come to the party for a good part of the money and has stressed to both Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese that the project was vital for the Coast.
``The Federal Government is still going through its assessment process ... but I'm optimistic about a federal contribution,'' Ms Bligh told The Gold Coast Bulletin. ``If they (Federal Government) only come part way, then the AFL can source the funds from their own resources or borrowings.''
While all stadium operational costs will have to be covered by the AFL under the deal, its ownership will transfer from the council to the State Government something the council may take issue with.
Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis and a crippled state budget, Ms Bligh has engineered a funding model that will cost the state just $9million in its first two years and will see the AFL carrying most of the upfront construction costs.
The state will pay just $2million next financial year, $7million in 2001-12 and $51million the following year, `when the economic situation should be better'.
``We could not have got this deal over the line if the AFL had not been prepared to structure the financing in a way that fitted our finances, but equally our commitment gives the AFL certainty on which to proceed,'' said Ms Bligh.
``In return we expect the AFL to start construction within months (of the first funding allocation).''
Ms Bligh said the stadium redevelopment would not only provide 350 much-needed construction jobs and ongoing operational jobs at the stadium but also a major boost for a beleaguered tourism industry. With building set to start possibly later this year, it also came at a time when other major projects, like the desalination plant, had wound down.
``This will start generating construction jobs now. The construction industry on the Coast has been hit by a rapid and serious deterioration in the property market, so it's construction projects like this that will keep people in work.''
One independent study estimated a Coast-based AFL team would generate about $34million a year into the local economy, with 90 per cent of it flowing money will flow to hotels, tourism operators, restaurants, retailers and transport companies.
``We have seen with Skilled Stadium and Suncorp Stadium that investment in these projects brings people from other parts of the country to attend major events,'' Ms Bligh told The Bulletin. ``It's now up to Gold Coast tourism operators to convince people to make a weekend on the Gold Coast part of every Melbourne AFL fan's footy season.''

Could our AFL Suns be about to rise?
Gold Coast Bulletin
July 14th, 2010
GOLD Coast Football Club will not comment on rumours sweeping football circles that their AFL nickname will be the Suns.
A caller to Melbourne radio station 3AW this morning claimed the name had been finalised, and that club paraphernalia was being printed with the name Suns.
The caller also claimed domain names for Gold Coast Suns had been registered by the AFL.
The Gold Coast club's new guernsey and name will be revealed at a gala function next Thursday night.
Other Australian sporting franchises have encountered copyright problems after trying to use the name Suns.
The Townsville Crocodiles National Basketball League side was forced to change its name from the Suns because the American NBA side Phoenix Suns held the copyright for the the name in Australia.

I don't understand their colour choice.
In a competitive marketplace I would have thought it would be good to choose something different to the lions, but red, yellow and light blue is quite close to maroon, yellow and blue and way too close to the old Fitzroy jersey that Brisbane occasionally wear. I would have thought the AFL would enforce a difference too.
Then there is the clash jumper issue and besides Brisbane Sydney, Melbourne, Essendon, St Kilda I guess all have more than a little red in them too.
There are no teams wearing much green (Freo a little) or sky blue in the league, despite these being quite popular colours in other sports and I really feel that perhaps the new clubs should have been asked to use one of these as a primary colour.
-
I'd reckon the AFL will want to keep sky blue for GWS when they come in in 2012 and green for Tassie when they eventually get their own side.
Here's some designs from BF:

The guernseys don't look too bad on paper although the home one is uninspiring. Need to see them on the players to really know.
I don't why they made such a big deal about the release being a secret when we already knew most of the information.

Most of the names being mentioned apart from Ablett are hardly ones to get excited about for GC. Even with Ablett he's not going to get the protection and support with GC that he does at Geelong.
-
No Tigers mentioned...
Ablett heads the list of rumoured recruits that include Hawthorn's Campbell Brown, Port Adelaide's Nathan Krakouer, Western Bulldogs' Jarrod Harbrow and Adelaide's Nathan Bock. Fremantle's David Mundy is also in their sights, and there is speculation Matthew Pavlich will be a target if Ablett stays at Geelong. Carlton onballer Shaun Grigg has been recently mentioned as a Gold Coast target.

Hutchy claiming tonight out of contract Jarrad Brennan wants $2m over 3 years from Brisbane. Shows what Gold Coast is offering.
Rischitelli also may leave the Lions but only one per club can be poached by GC so Rischitelli to head back to Victoria.
Harbrow offered a 4-5 year deal from Gold Coast so almost certain to leave the Dogs.
-
Big mail is that Ablett will stay at Geelong
Pavlich has been offered $$$$$$$$$$$$ to go
-
That rumour has been doing the rounds for a while Jack. I can't see Pav moving this late in his career unless it was to a club going for the flag.

The Gold Coast's highest-paid player will be Geelong's Gary Ablett Jr but they have extra cash available to woo Brennan after missing out on their other high-profile target, Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich.
It is believed Pavlich is close to signing a new three-year deal worth close to $1 million a season under which he would finish his career at the Dockers.
The star forward recently signed a two-year deal worth more than $100,000 a year to be the face of a West Australian finance brokerage company.
He is also part-owner of a trendy Perth hotel and is engaged to a WA girl.

Campbell Brown claimed tonight he is still yet to make a decision about the Gold Coast. Hardly good news for Hawthorn. Sounds like he is heading north.
-
What has Brennan done to warrant $2m over 3?
Lazy and undisciplined, I wouldn't have him in the best dozen players at the Lions.

Agree Jake. I guess the $$$ attempts to make out he is better than he is. Also GC have $$$ to burn and are desperate for ready-made players to take most of the workload off all their new draftees.
-
I personally think Campbell Brown would be a great player to have at the GC give them a tough bodied player.

The Pav thing to Gold Coast is very strong
-
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/101646/default.aspx
DEFENDERS Nathan Bock and Nathan Krakouer have been confirmed as new club Gold Coast's first signings.
There has been speculation all season that several players had already agreed to join the Suns during a brief window of opportunity at the end of the 2009 season, but League rules had prevented the club from revealing their identities.
Bock had already announced his intentions to pursue a deal with Gold Coast and was stood down from playing with Adelaide after round 20.
Krakouer declared he wanted to leave Port Adelaide and seek a deal with one of the WA clubs or Gold Coast.
As part of its start-up concessions, Gold Coast is permitted to sign up to 16 uncontracted players - one from each existing AFL club.
-
Bock and Krakouer were ones we already knew about. 6 more to come apparently.
The Pav thing to Gold Coast is very strong
Ch 10 now saying Pav is warming to the idea.
-
As I posted a few weeks ago, Pav will go to Gold Coast
Andrew Welsh will be named as going as well, ( no big loss there )

well thats freo done and dusted for afew years. id imagine him leaving will tear the heart and soul out of that club!

Would they get a couple of first rounders as compo?
Or would the fact that Pav is 30 mean a first and a second maybe?
-
The first draft compensations have been handed out....
It had been determined that Adelaide Crows would receive a third band selection (end of round one selection) for Bock, while Port Adelaide would receive a fourth band selection (round-two selection) for Krakouer.
-------------------------------------
Adelaide Crows - end of round one selection.
The selection for Nathan Bock may be activated by the Adelaide Crows at the end of round one in any one of the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 or 2014 NAB AFL Draft selection meetings.
The selection will be immediately placed after the selection of the premiership team of that season (which concludes round one), and any compensation pick under AFL Rule 6 (In 2010, West Coast will receive a selection under this rule).
In the case of two or more clubs activating an end of round one selection in the one AFL Draft meeting, the club(s) that is (are) placed lower on the premiership ladder in that particular season will be placed first in the selection order.
For the selection to be activated for the 2010 NAB AFL Draft, the Adelaide Crows will be required to notify the AFL of its intention to use the selection by November 5, 2010.
For the selection to be activated for any of the years 2011-2014 in the NAB AFL Draft of that particular year, the Adelaide Crows will be required to notify the AFL of its intention to use the selection by the last Tuesday of that particular year, prior to the start of the Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
The club has the right to on-trade its compensation selection to another club.
If the club on-trades its compensation selection to another club, the selection may be used in that year's NAB AFL Draft selection meeting, or in any other year up to the 2014 NAB AFL Draft.
Port Adelaide - round-two selection.
The selection for Nathan Krakouer may be activated by Port Adelaide after its round-two selection in any one of the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 or 2014 NAB AFL Draft selection meetings.
The selection will be immediately placed behind the round-two selection of Port Adelaide in that particular season (that is, should Port Adelaide earn the right for selection 22, the compensation selection would be selection No.23; if Port Adelaide earn the right for selection 31, the compensation selection would be selection No.32, etc.)
For the selection to be activated for the 2010 NAB AFL Draft, Port Adelaide will be required to notify the AFL of its intention to use the selection by November 5, 2010.
For the selection to be activated for any of the years 2011-2014 in the NAB AFL Draft of that particular year, Port Adelaide will be required to notify the AFL of its intention to use the selection by the last Tuesday of that particular year, prior to the start of the Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
The club has the right to on-trade its compensation selection to another club.
If the club on-trades its compensation selection to another club, the selection may be used in that year's NAB AFL Draft selection meeting, or in any other year up to the 2014 NAB AFL Draft.
Mr Dillon said the lodgement of the respective contract offers to players Bock and Krakouer by Gold Coast FC meant the club could not automatically select another uncontracted player from either of those two clubs.
For the benefit of any media who may not understand the list establishment rules, Gold Coast FC is allowed to select any player who is delisted by an AFL club, even if it has already selected an uncontracted player from that particular club.
Further, Gold Coast FC is able to trade with any club to add a player to its list, even if it has already selected an uncontracted player from that club.

I don't know what the Crows are whinging about. Bock was hardly a certain best 22er in their side this year. Phil Davis had gone past him. It was only Neil Craig's bizarre decision to drop Davis after he was nominated for the RS ??? that allowed Bock back into the Crows line-up.
-
i wonder if any clubs will hold off until 2012 draft to use there compensation picks seeing how no new clubs are joining in 2013 there might be abit more depth in the draft.

They definitely will hold off. There's a 10 spot difference for a start of 2nd round pick between a normal draft and this and next year's compromised ones. It'd also be handy for a top side like Geelong if they lose Ablett to wait and have extra early compenation picks up their sleeve when the current side wanes in 2-3 years time. It'll enable them to rebuild quickly again.

Alastair Clarkson has conceded the Hawks could lose Campbell Brown to the Gold Coast.
THE Gold Coast Suns are considering recruiting former Hawthorn premiership ruckman Robert Campbell, with the new club having the opportunity to simply place Campbell on its list.
Former Richmond player Andrew Krakouer, who has been performing well for WA club Swan Districts this year after his release from jail in August last year, is another player whom the Suns have first call on and can simply list.
Sturt ruckman Jon Giles, who was once on Port Adelaide's list, is another potential ruck option if the Suns overlook Campbell.
Cameron Richardson, from North Ballarat, is another the Suns are understood to be considering listing; Richardson, 22, has been overlooked in recent drafts.

Whispers on 3aw saying Campbell Brown has quit the Hawks and will sign-up with the Suns tomorrow. Media conference at 11am.
-
Quartermain on One Week At A Time tonight said Rischitelli will also be named a Gold Coast recruit tomorrow. Not sure where that puts Brennan who was also linked to Suns given only one player per club can be poached by GC.
Edit: Hutchy on Footy Classified is also saying Rischitelli is the new Suns signing tomorrow at 11am.

Michael Rischitelli officially joins the Suns

A no brainer for Rischitelli. Brisbane were quite happy to dump him off last year at Princes Park while chasing Fev and now he's returned their "loyalty" and probably doubled his income at the same time just by moving down the highway to the Gold Coast.

Ch 7 news tonight said Campbell Brown will most likely sign with Gold Coast later this week.

Ablett heading for the Gold Coast
Sky news
Updated: 20:22, Saturday September 18, 2010[/]
Superstar Geelong midfielder Gary Ablett is believed to have signed with the Gold Coast Suns.
He has signed a multi-million dollar deal with the new franchise, and will shift to Queensland in the next few weeks.
http://www.skynews.com.au/sport/article.aspx?id=515004&articleID
-
Well there you go, it obviously didn't affect his performance last night but I wonder if it affected his team mates.
I don't mind seeing the start of the Geelong decline I just don't want the Pies to step into the vacant position as the dominant side.
-
Surely Ablett is going otherwise wouldnt we hear more rumours of other big name players oing to the GC.
They will want an AA player up there for sure.
-
The AFL will want Ablett up there as a high profile marque player alongside Karmichael Hunt to sell the club to the locals. The AFL usually gets want it wants.

Add Ablett with 9 of the first 15 picks in the draft and that's 15 right there who'll still be around together after 3-4 years development time when these kids start hitting their peak. That's also ignoring the twelve 17 year olds they picked up last year. I don't think they'll play finals right away as some people think but if Scott Clayton picks the right kids they should become a regular finals side within 5 years. The AFL will make sure it happens too so the locals hop on the bandwagon.
-
on TAC cup future stars terry put us and melb demons ahead on list management in the redevelopment stage would you say were ahead of GC.

Caro said tonight on 3aw that Ablett is waiting until after the Geelong B&F before announcing he's off to the Gold Coast.

deal is done

Well there you go, it obviously didn't affect his performance last night but I wonder if it affected his team mates.
I don't mind seeing the start of the Geelong decline I just don't want the Pies to step into the vacant position as the dominant side.
hate to say it chuck but a win this weekend for the Pies will open up a can of worms none of us want and thats a Collingwood Dynasty.
Didak, Thomas, Pendlebury, Wellingham, Cloke, Beams, Dawes, Swan. Most under 25 except for a few..Scary!!
The question you have to ask yourself is who will challenge them in the next 2 years???
IMO and i hope im wrong but i believe they have very few teams to compete with for the flag.
Geelong=Gone
Saints=Maybe but if they lose this they will be gone too
Buldogs-Window shut
Hawks-Maybe
Freo=maybe
Swans-Doubt it
Blues-No
The ones that will challenge in about 2/3 years are the Demons, Gypsy's and us. But thats 2 years for them to do some damage.
The Pies have timed this beautifully and i just hope that the Sainters can do it, although the thought of cheering for the guy who was "allegedly" charged sickens me in the guts. Putting up with Milney vrs putting up with the likes of Eddie, Harry o, Joffa etc etc well its no brainer, Milney smash those pricks.

Yes in the short-term if collingwood win this years and play well next year besides saints freo and hawks if they both step up. there may not be another big contender we'll just have to wait and see how teams go next year.

They said the same thing about a Hawthorn dynasty in 2008 and they had a far younger list than the Pies. The Pies have built a side around a core of Presti 32, Johnson 29, Davis 29, Jolly 28, Brown 28, Didak 27, Maxwell 27, Swan 26, Ball 26. That's almost half their side ignoring others in their late 20s like Fraser, Lockyer and Medhurst who have hardly played seniors this year. That's hardly a young side ::). They've also been lucky with injury this year with 18 Pies playing 19 games or more. They've been able to keep basically the same side and especially key players on the park each week.
Individually the Pies have only a few top class players but they do have a gameplan with this forward press and high bench rotations that is well drilled into every single player and has caught out every opposition just as Clarkson and the Hawks did in 2008. If they win the flag this Saturday then it'll be Malthouse who deserves all the credit. Every coach of the other 16 clubs will spend this summer working out ways to counter it just as they did to the Hawks after 2008. Every year is a new year.
I do agree with daniel in the sense this year has been a very weak year with all but a couple of sides being mediocre. Whoever out of Collingwood and St Kilda wins the flag (more likely it'll be the Pies) will win it in a year with very little elite competition around to fight against for it.

Champion Data's AFL Prospectus predicting the Suns to win a flag and dominate the comp. within 5 years :P
GOLD Coast is better placed for a sustained period of success than any of the previous five start-up AFL clubs, according to Champion Data's AFL Prospectus.
With an astonishing 27 players under 20 and another 12 between 20 and 24, the AFL's 17th side has taken the youth road to establishing itself as a power side.
While the sixth edition of the prospectus predicts a return of four wins in the Suns' debut season, the upside in the years after could see them become the fastest modern start-up side to win a flag.
Six months ago the Herald Sun forecast rival clubs' fears Gold Coast would be a superpower within four years, capable of winning multiple premierships.
Richmond football general manager Craig Cameron said the prospect was "frightening", saying "it certainly looks ugly for the rest of us".

Always was going to be the case. The AFL will do everything in its power to make sure it's two new babies are a success up north. Even if that means existing clubs miss out on a sponsor if reports are true :scream
-
It could be scary, or it could be another Hawthorn.
After the Hawks won their flag, people were going on about guys like Thorp, Ellis, Dowler etc. waiting in the wings and how scary the Hawks depth was. Now they have none and have had to trade for guys like Hale and Burgoyne.
I think Swallow will be a win, but what happens if Bennell is a Tambling, Day is a Thorp, Gorringe a John Meeson, Tom Lynch a Koschitzke....
We just have to wait and see.

Not to mention Champion Data is dog's baws
About on par with Mike Sheahan in terms of cred
And who says Bluey can even coach?

Vast improvement, although I always enjoyed the feel of attending games at Carrara - good to see they've kept the hill concourse, prefer grounds with an open end. Breeze is underrated.

Actually the original "hill" was at the southern end of the ground, so that has gone. I stood at the northern end for the last Tiges game up there and it was bloody freezing with the wind coming up across the river. Breeze is overrated.
-
The design with the open end reminds me of a baseball stadium. Good luck to the opposition cheer squads behind the goals at that end if it buckets down during a game. I'm guessing if the Gold Coast wins the Comm Games in 2018 that end will be filled in?

Here's Gold Coast's full kit :P. I guess at least it doesn't clash with us.

Very bright colouring. Reminds me a little of the old Fitzroy jumper.
Does this mean Sydney will wear white shorts when they play them in Qld. Can't have both teams in red shorts and red jumpers, or will the Swans come up with an alternate strip.
We'll see what Andy D demands of the situation. :shh

GOLD Coast has named its historic first ever AFL team, with Gary Ablett to captain a side containing all eight of the Suns' prized uncontracted player signings.
Ablett, Jared Brennan, Campbell Brown and Nathan Bock have all battled injuries of varying severity over the pre-season, but will take their places in the inaugural team along with Josh Fraser, Jarrod Harbrow, Michael Rischitelli and Nathan Krakouer.
Former Kangaroo Daniel Harris and ex-Magpie Danny Stanley will resume their stalled AFL careers, but the club's remaining players with AFL experience, Nathan Ablett and Sam Iles, were not selected.
David Swallow, the No.1 pick at the 2010 NAB AFL Draft, has been named alongside Ablett, with Harley Bennell, who was taken second, starting on the bench. Gold Coast's third overall pick, key forward prospect Sam Day, did not make the cut.
Rugby league convert Karmichael Hunt has beaten highly-rated defender Michael Coad for the centre half-back post, with Coad an emergency along with Daniel Gorringe and Maverick Weller.
The two key forward spots will be held down by youngsters Charlie Dixon and Zac Smith, while recently elevated rookie Alik Magin goes straight into the side on a half-forward stuff.
Gold Coast's first AFL team:
B: Seb Tape, Nathan Bock, Campbell Brown
HB: Jarrod Harbrow, Karmichael Hunt, Nathan Krakouer
C: Trent McKenzie, Daniel Harris, Michael Rischitelli
HF: Danny Stanley, Charlie Dixon, Alik Magin
F: Jared Brennan, Zac Smith, Brandon Matera
Foll: Josh Fraser, David Swallow, Gary Ablett
Int: Marc Lock, Harley Bennell, Dion Prestia, Josh Toy
EMG: Maverick Weller, Daniel Gorringe, Michael Coad
Be interesting to see how they go in there first game. Hopefully they can kick there club off with a win over Carlton.

They're expecting a crowd of 25-30k at the 'Gabba for GC's first game so a pretty good effort for a new team playing outside their home town (the novelty factor will be why). Carrara looks great now seeing it on the tv right now.

Ratten might not of been a good senior head coach to take a team to ultimate glory but he could still make it as a decent assistant.
I would rather Ratten over Primus.
GOLD Coast will approach sacked senior coaches Brett Ratten and Matthew Primus about an assistant coaching role and will also offer Malcolm Blight a more permanent role in the football department.
The Suns have increased the football department budget for 2013 to bolster one of the smallest coaching panels in the AFL.
Football manager Marcus Ashcroft said the Suns wouLd aim high in the recruitment process, starting with Ratten and Primus, and then looking at any available senior assistants from the clubs that competed in this year's final series.
"We have to, we have to go after the best and most experienced people available," Ashcroft said.
"Those guys are certainly in that category."

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a new look logo for the Suns which appeared on an official AFL website before it was quickly taken down.
The new logo was displayed on the Play AFL website as part of a welcome pack for Auskick players.
In the new look design the club have kept the oval shape in the middle of the guernsey, but have abandoned the original GC lettering.
Instead the logo went with a big S that’s shaped in a way to make it look like a sun setting.
