Picking Men Not Boys

The press conference held March 1st was filled with reporters as three more additions were announced to the roster of the Gold Coast Football Club. The excitement was in the air as the questions came pooring in. One reporter asked what the expectations are for the season. Beckham answered that until a full roster was intact such questions would have to wait, but did mumble the men sitting next to him might think differently. Another reporter asked if age was going to be a factor. Cunningham replied that he didn't sign on to sit on the sidelines. The best comment of the day came from the Suns owner who was quoted as saying "I'm guessing we might have to give Union S.C. a free point in the score sheet just to make it fair. They're drafting toddlers compared to us" More to come as the draft continues.

Cooper Goes West

With the first of three first round draft picks, the Gold Coast Football Club just confirmed that Kenny Cooper will be wearing the Burgundy kit. The supporters in attendance all cheered when the announcement came out. They no doubt remember how productive he was in Dallas. "Cooper isn't afraid to take his shots and he isn't afraid of the PK." said a Suns spokesperson. There is bound to be some rumblings going on over in Blues land with this selection as well as the rest of the BSL.

Suns A Hot Ticket

Its amazing what some hardware will do to a clubs reputation. Our California Cup rivals are still bitter over their Majors Cup Semi Final defeat and that's just perfect. Beating the Blues is like sweet sweet music. Then word is out that Saints requested to be the 2nd match of the season. Bring it!!!! Gateway did take 2 of 3 last year, so a little payback is always in order. Its good to be on the radar. It means this club is doing something right. The entire 2011 schedule for the Suns is now available.

Another Draft Pick Acquired

The Gold Coast Football Club have come to terms with the expansion Second City. The details of the deal are as follows. Dax McCarty will be packing his bags in exchange for a 4th round draft pick. "We are very happy with this latest deal. This gives the club a total of 7 draft picks within the first 4 rounds of the upcoming draft on March 1st." said a Suns spokesperson.

The Suns are scheduled to pick #4, #6, #7 in round 1. #4 in rounds 2 and 3. Then #4, #9 in round 4. The final pick of the process will be in round 11 of the 14 round draft.
