A recommendation from the Gold Coast board has found that Guy McKenna should be sacked.

Multiple news outlets are reporting this afternoon that the Suns coach has been sacked however there is no confirmation as of yet.

AFL 360 said he would be in there now a little while ago.

I thought the GC were starting to comr good this year. Sure they fell away after Ablett got injured but they looked OK to me.  Swallow is a talent, they have some really good KPPs.  I think the GC will partly shoot themseves in the foot with this. 

Bomber took 7 years with Geelong wasnt it? And the year before almost got sacked.  Footy has no patience.

His papers would've been stamped after their defeat at the hands of Brisbane if I were in charge up there. How the hell do you let Rockliff and Hanley accumulate almost 100 possessions between them without shutting one or both them down ? Terrible coaching. A player can still get 30odd with a tag but there's no excuse for having two oppostion players getting nearly 50 possessions a piece.
 Maybe Ablett going down showed his real coaching prowess. They were awful without Gaz.

Talking Footy tonight said the word in the room at the Brownlow was McKenna won't survive and the Suns are just biding their time to announce his sacking until they decide who they want to go after as coach.
