The new sausages .

Shout out to Dimma who abandoned one sinking ship for another made of cardboard.

The Gold Coast have suffered the least amount of injuries this season for any club .

Played West Coast, North and Richmond twice

And still no September action.

I agree with Matt. Would add that his inability to hold his tongue under pressure might be his undoing. The “grow TF up comment” already hasn’t worked.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Seem to recall certain posters cracking it at those of us who dare suggested that Halfstep wasn't that great of a coach and our flags were down to the likes of Carracella & Leppa more so than him... :shh

Just like GWS , a blind monkey should be able to coach that list to a flag....the only caveat being that the Gold Coast is the Bermuda Triangle of Australian Sport with a lifestyle that doesn't lend itself to team success...unless you're a team of iron men or surf lifesavers... :shh

Talk about going the early crow. The suns are an afl fabricated club with very few true supporters, a weak culture and players who for the most part play there because they were drafted there and little else. You need way more than talent to win a flag and correcting all the other glaring issues at the club will take time.

Will Dimma turn it around? Time will tell but history is not on his side, I think only Leigh Matthews and Mick Malthouse have managed it atleast in the AFL era.

9 wins last year and 10 wins this year finishing 15th and 14th.
Last 10 games in both years went 3 and 7 w/l.
Very few injuries, not many excuses.

Doesn’t read well and most certainly not a new coach bounce.
