...going to underachieve.
In retrospect, it's probably not that surprising that it happened when you've got 'club leaders' like KarmichaelHunt housing and influencing Harley Bennell and Campbell Brown getting in fights overseas which led to getting arrested in Thailand while on holiday with...
Ok yeah, they were garbage, but at least they had an exuse!
At this point I'd back a cardboard cutout of Hipwood to have more of an impact than actual Hipwood tonight.
There are also the WCE drug issues and alleged associations with organised crime identities during their successful years: Cousins, Fletcher and Mainwaring (RIP)
...continued.
This is fascinating. A quick Google search also turned up;
Alan Didak partying with Chris Hudson at the Hells Angels clubhouse.
Brock McClean being good mates with the Moran family
Wayne Carey partying with Jason Moran; didn't Carey get dropped from 7 over his special bag of...
...happenings from the past;
John McCarthy's death (RIP)
Jake King inviting Toby Mitchell (Bandidos bikie boss) into the Richmond rooms
KarmichaelHunt and the group of Suns players who were regular party boys with him
The Buddy rumours
The Oliver and Goodwin rumours
I'm sure there's more...
...Sydney had Buddy and Michael Talia
Hawks injunction
Freo I am sure Pav and Fyfe got on it
WCE Benny Cousins and co
Gold Coast KarmichaelHunt and Harley Bennell
GWS Whitfield dodged ASADA
Demons Clarry, Joel Smith
Bulldogs Libba and co
Saints Riewoldt and co plus Jack Stevens had to be on it...
Not sure how many people are aware of this but KarmichaelHunt returned to footy last year when he competed for Morningside in the QFA Div 3 South competition. It wasn't a one off either - he managed 8 games and 3 goals for the season in between his rugby league commitments. Wonder if he'll play...
KarmichaelHunt may have initially brought eyes to the Suns/AFL but it was Ablett who kept the eyes there. To say Ablett "did bugger all in promoting the game in qld" is just false. He was named the AFLQ community football ambassador in 2013 and would often visit the local clubs during his...
Yet it won't be Mahomes or LeBron. It'll be a talented athlete who missed out on the NFL, who then doesn't have a potential career in any of the(few) minor competitions, and who doesn't see himself having a career in coaching, etc.
Just go take a look at KarmichaelHunt's attempts to play.
Punters these days can kick. Much better than they used to. If you've bothered to watch some highlights, you'll quickly learn those guys are skilled and becoming better each year.
This idea we can't train endurance is silly. There are many endurance athletes who play in the NFL! Of course it's...
Of course, this is why Gaelic footballers transition to the AFL more readily - they can already kick.
It's just about adapting to the different shaped ball, although there's obviously a lot more involved.
Fly taught Mason Cox how to kick a footy, and it took quite a while.
That makes big Mase's...
...kicking is as a skill in AFL and how hard it is to learn.
Cox, and to a lesser extent, Mike Pyke made it primarily on height
Refer KarmichaelHunt for how challenging that conversion might be. And you would be looking at starting with trying to convert a 22/23yo after college. Too hard.
I'd say once our playing list is reduced to the same as other teams, we'll get a better picture of Ace's value. Players will have to be picked on talent and potential. Keen to see if Dimma plays the game or not in 2024.
Scouts from 17 other clubs are not doing their job properly if they can not identify talent in state leagues and u18 level.
If our academy boys you have listed weren’t listed by us and not given a chance by anyone else, Can you really blame the Suns recruitment policy?
Brisbane for example...
Personally, I think that PR theory is BS.
I am sure Eagles will snatch all these talented kids who deserve chance. Lucky you. They will be handy in re-build.
BTW, Ace never played as a mid in AFL, rarely he ends up there. He averaged 8.9 disposals this year. Basically, similar numbers to Rosas...
...Along with Brinn Little they at least deserve some type of rookie chance. I think you have to admit Oea is a bit of a PR stunt like KarmichaelHunt and has basically been gifted games and a career. Also remember when the Suns overlooked the other kids as they didn't have the PR affect they...
