Round 7 recap: Sad and Solo

In the Round 7 recap of the Gold Coast SunsCast, your host Mike Brady discusses a blowout loss to Melbourne. I rationalize this last match in any way that I can, attempting to pry any positive takeaways out of what was a miserable experience. I try to analyze the strategy GC has taken the past two games, and look at who should get playing time out of the younger players for this final stretch of the season Follow the podcast @goldcoastsunscast on Instagram and email us via goldcoastsunscast@gmail.com

Round 6 recap: Three Glorious Quarters

Thomas claims he'll start following the GC Suns men's team starting next season and not just watch their highlights. We look ahead to Round 7 against Melbourne and see if there's any chance to beat the team that's 2nd on the ladder on the road.

Finally, we cast our gaze forward to what looks to be a brutal three-game stretch coming up. Follow the podcast @goldcoastsunscast on Instagram and email us via goldcoastsunscast@gmail.com
