Season 2026

Round 5 recap: Baseline Levels of Play

The Gold Coast SunsCast is here to recap the round 5 win against Collingwood. No Thomas this week, but Mike Brady and John talk list selections, notable injuries, and a breakout game (goal-scoring-wise) from Sunny Lappin. We discuss Anne Hatchard seeming so cool and nice, Charlie Rowbottom's inability to have a bad game, and us not being able to figure out why Alannah Welsh was omitted. Do we think the Suns will beat the Bombers? (spoilers: yes). Thanks for listening! Follow the podcast @goldcoastsunscast on Instagram and email us via goldcoastsunscast@gmail.com

Round 4 recap - Get Pitted

The Gold Coast SunsCast is here to recap the round 4 win against Port Adelaide and set our expectations sky-high for the rest of the season. A weird win is still a win, and we discuss what went right for the Suns despite the normal gameplan going out the window. Thomas and John hear and rate the Collingwood and Sydney theme songs. Thomas attempts to go on an anti-surfing rant which is quickly shut down by Mike Brady. We love surfing!

Round 3 recap - Geelong Rucks Give Up

The Gold Coast SunsCast is here to recap the round 3 loss against Geelong and preview round 4 against Port Adelaide. Complicated feelings abound as we try to process the 7-point loss to Geelong and what we should take away from a relatively solid performance all-around from the Suns. Thomas and John hear and rate the Port Adelaide and North Melbourne theme songs. Do we expect a win against what could be a tough matchup against Port? Listen and find out!

Round 2 recap: Go Suns! (happy voice)

The Gold Coast SunsCast is back to recap the round 2 dominant win against the West Coast Eagles and preview round 3 at home against Geelong. After the best match we can remember the GC women playing, to what extent should we keep our excitement and expectations in check for the rest of 2026? We discuss the highlights of the match and what went right for the Suns (spoiler alert: everything). We also get reactions from Thomas and John listening to the Gold Coast, Western Bulldogs, West Coast, and Geelong theme songs.

Round 1 recap: Go Suns! (sad voice)

The Gold Coast SunsCast is back to recap the round 1 loss against the Western Bulldogs and preview round 2 against the West Coast Eagles. Should we be sad about the 1st quarter or feed the positive by focusing on the final three quarters of the Bulldogs match? We attempt to answer that! We hand out our 3-2-1 votes, complain briefly about the Meara Girvan snub, and talk about the official arrival of Ava Usher. We also discuss whether the Suns are in the beginning of a rebuild or if the team has already been effectively rebuilt.

Round 1 Preview: So Many Things Can Go Right

The Gold Coast SunsCast is back to preview the GC women's round 1 match against the Western Bulldogs. Mike Brady gives a complete prediction for team selection, and Thomas and John also give their picks for the round 1 match. John asks what a ruck is, Thomas learns he is never wrong even if his podcast attendance isn't perfect, and Mike finds yet another excuse to complain about Lauren Bella being omitted so many times last season. Mike and Thomas go through the season fixture match-by-match to make their predictions, and go to great lengths to justify how they have GC winning so many games.
