Oh Bailey. Your luscious long hair is remarkable. AI wouldn’t be capable of generating cheese grater abs as perfect as yours. And as for…
Blowing out the candles on your 30th birthday cake was once symbolic of the final flicker of an AFL career, yet for the game's best, it has become an extended sweet spot.
At the moment, that average figure is greater than any end-of-season average we’ve had since 2017 by three points per team per game.
Gather Round keeps, ahem, gathering momentum with those that traditionally rail against anything shiny, new, and blatantly commercial in the game.
The white shoe brigade, meter maids, schoolies week, fake tans… the Gold Coast has always had a problem with authenticity. And when it comes…

I admit, I’m wrong and you’re right Doctor.
I was wrong to ignore Jack Watts, tanking, the 1996 merger, Norm Smith’s sacking and Tom Wills’ demons. The effect they’re currently having on the diminishment of performance from 2021 to 2025 is obvious in hindsight.
Thanks for pointing out the deficiencies in my ‘poorly written’ article. I’m hoping to learn from your best works and improve. I have been waiting eight years since your last one, so I’m sure when it comes it will be barnstormer with lots of cool Star Wars references.
As for trolling, I got that wrong too. In the articles-published-to snarky-comments-to-make-me-feel-intellectually-superior-ratio, I see you’re going at an impressive 4 to 15,500. Hopefully I can skew that way too, which will not only boost my credibility somewhere closer to your levels, but will also be such constructive use of my time.

Did you read the article? Because I said exactly that…
Were Collingwood really gifted a win by the 'noise of affirmation'... or is it just our anti-Pies bias?
Your comment is exactly what the article is about.
How 'woke Pat' overcame 'Aussie exceptionalism' to keep calm and carry on winning as one of our greatest leaders
Settle Gretel, all I’ve said is that every club ( except Geelong) has tried to build teams via the draft. Not comparing individual concessions, just the method.
15 years in, Gold Coast are finally good. Here's why you should care
