Unreal start to the season by Gold Coast, taking down Geelong to the tune of 56 points #AFLSunsCats
GOLD COAST π
This may surprise a few β¦
The game against Geelong tonight was the highest rated game of Christian Petracca's CAREER! π₯
#9WWOS #AFLSunsCats
#AFLSunscats Gold Coast make it clear they are to be taken seriously in 2026. Full time Gold Coast 125 defeat Geelong 69
STATEMENT MADE! βοΈ π€
The Suns defeat last year's grand finalists by 56 points!
#AFLSunsCats
#AFLSunsCats - as with the β25 GF, Geelong kicking multiple junk time goals to make their total capitulation seem more respectable. Suns look scary good.
A statement win and performance from the Suns. Obviously key outs for Geelong but still didn't expect such a dominant Gold Coast display. Think they could win every home game this season, a real threat for sure #AFL #AFLSunsCats
Seriously, stuff Opening Round. Yeah, I'm a traditionalist, but AFL's got too clever by half drip feeding a season start to select markets & somehow diminishing the buzz around a new year. Just more 'content'. We should be lapping up every kick. But it feels ho-hum. #AFLSunsCats
Petracca's played a cracker,
Miller's had a killer
and Noah's a real goer.

"There's a Sun down."
There's one every evening I reckon, Huddo.
#AFLSunsCats
No doubt Geelong will get a mulligan like they always do when they lose #aflsunscats
Fairly comfortable posting this as a long suffering Carlton supporter/member after last night.
You gotta take the rare W's as a Bluebagger at this point or go utterly mad, Ken Bruce style lol

Whoever the crowd special comments dude is has been running through the classics tonight. Weβve had βheβs been doing it all nightβ and βyou donβt get a free for dropping a markβ. Wonβt be complete until he breaks out βchewy on your bootβ, though #AFLSunsCats
Geez Petracca is a good early fit for the Suns. Seems to be enjoying himself too.
#aflsunscats
Watching Geelong get absolutely pantsed satisfies me on a primal level.

Really looking forward to the Unfiltered episode where the brother of the last CEO of the AFL interviews the current CEO.
Should be a real hard-hitter. #AFLSunsCats
The Cats are trailing 4.5-11.5 at the long break and no doubt ruing a poor first half.
Incidentally, 45115 is the ZIP Code of DECATUR, which is an anagram of CAT RUED.

First time since 2007 R05 v NTH that GEEL have played an #AFL game without any players that had kicked 150+ career goals
#AFLSunsCats
Granted that the general progress of the match is not improving my temper, but earnestly believe that people who sing along to "Sweet Caroline" at sporting events should be deprived of the vote, and possibly arrested. #AFLSunsCats
All those so called 'footy experts' who said Gold Coast paid overs for Christian Petracca have major egg on their face. He literally can be the final piece in The Suns Premiership Puzzle. Legit Superstar #AFLSunsCats
Last few seasons had some glitches but, given how much footy I watched, was okay 95% of the time. Same subscription this year, but with zero satisfaction. Tonightβs #Kayo #AFLSunsCats offering no improvement. Unsubscribing time.

What a gem of a goal by Trac, that was a lot harder to execute than it looks. Potential GOTY #AFLSunsCats
Umpires BOG for Geelong so far. Cotton On getting away with everything. Also Anthony Hudson is a biased handbager #AFLSunsCats
Bailey Humphrey supremacy apparently. #AFLSunsCats
Bailey Humphrey will be at Carlton next year 100 % #ElmersGoodOil #AFLSunsCats
