Guy McKenna and the rise of the Gold Coast Suns.       The 17th AFL team based on the Gold Coast played their first game against Carlton in April 2011. But before that, there were two seasons of footy played by the club - the first was in the TAC Cup Under 18s and the second, in Victoria's VFL. The man who led the club as coach through those seasons, and on into the AFL was Eagles great, Guy 'Bluey' McKenna. In this episode, he remembers the formative years of the Gold Coast football club. The theme music in this episode is courtesy of the Blue Dot Sessions and the Free Music Archive. Object of the Game is a podcast presented by the National Sports Museum at the MCG, telling the stories behind the objects on display in the museum.
