Collingwood are just getting it done at the moment. Struggling to kick a score, aside from the game against the Dons witches hats. Will need to be super defensively disciplined to win, given Brisbane's weapons in the F50. Not sure the MCG thing has too much sway this year, given both teams'...

Farcical. HTB when he didn't even complete the tackle. Narrative is in full force here for captain fantastic.

Happens in every other marking contest. Its just that Charlie rolls around like he's been stabbed whenever physical contact is made.

Carlton offered two seconds - a fair price. It was Cochrane who turned it down, going over his recruiting department's head, because he felt it made the Suns look bad.

As with Melbourne in 2013, their continued existence should hinge on the club making good decisions. That involves the Gil or Dil knocking on their old boy's door and telling Mark Evans that his time is up.

******* funniest thing is that I'm home sick in bed, and in the time I took to post that the Suns are back in front PhatBoy. I join you in hoping, against the odds, that they turn the ship around. Get a new ******* logo and guernsey though.

Not sure this is valid. Under the soft cap, clubs have an equal recruiting budget. If the Suns aren't able to benefit enough from their multiple free academy first round picks, they've got the cash to have full time Victorian recruiters. Probably why they, for example, turned down Melbourne's...

8 straight flags = making the finals once in 12 years? I think we can leave it there. Fingers crossed our brief ascent continues with a third straight top 4 finish

I guess if you discount the decision in 2013 to rip up the joint and start again, you’re right. Fingers crossed for the health of the comp the Suns are able to do that under Hardwick. But given the same people remain in charge - Mark Evans still riding off some good work at AFL House a decade...

Beating them twice in 2012 actually saved us from being the worst side in history, from memory.

We made the finals in 06. We finished half a percentage point outside the 8 in 2017. We were a stain on the comp for a decade i between, no denying that. I’m not sure what that has to do with the basket case that is the Suns though.

I understand you’re feeling generous towards them, they did manage their cap so badly they gave you a free pick 7 to take a serviceable half back off them. Why do Gold Coast have to be around for a century to be any good? They had every concession known to man given to them, and they blew them...

Reeling back a 40 point lead in 15 minutes is more than a “comeback”. It’s a group of blokes patting themselves on the back deciding they’ve done enough. It’s the culmination of 12 years of woeful psychological recruiting and fitness training.

Yeah dude, the Dees were garbage for ages. They also had plenty of decent patches, elite footy players and a history to be proud of. Gold Coast are now into their 12th season of finishing in the bottom 6. They’re a pathetic organisation.

There’s just nothing to like about the Suns. They’ve been the same team for 12 years. Able to play a flashy quarter or half here or there, but they’ve got nothing to them. No supporters s**t branding No leaders Awful development program It’s actually painful watching a collection of kids who...

No need for the rebuild. Mature age players love heading over there for half the price other teams are offering. They'll be top 4 next year.

Geelong looked like absolute shite. The team with the biggest home ground advantage in the league looked like they'd never stepped foot on their own turf. Leaders like Cameron and Stewart looked like they'd rather be in the surf. No doubt some juicy land packages are heading Darcy Parish and Ben...

Imagine being this unaware of incorrect disposal

You can now neither complete tackles or let the player go. * this sport.

Will be interested to see it. Daniel and Dale always dangerous by foot, albeit they rarely play well against us, its more the outside midfield battlers and small forwards who rarely deliver the kind of passes that the tall forwards need. Against May/Petty/Lever, that's often been the Dogs'...

I have very little faith in the Dogs defence, or the two way running of their smalls. Their tall forward line looks great though, as does English in the ruck, and the mids when they have the ball are exceptional. Plus Bontempelli is a top 3 player and could drag them over the line. If May and...

That’s what I thought when the Hawks started 2015 4-4 and their captain was done for drink driving a little later in the year.

Interesting to see how this goes. The Pies are an fantastic transition side with super dangerous medium and small forwards. Having said that, they’re also not quite a top 8 quality team yet. If the Dees are switched on and playing their hard running style, we should account for them semi easily...

Mate Gray is about 50 and Fantasia was recruited with the knowledge that he’s always injured.

This is an all time melt 😂

Good thing he knocked back the pies in 2018 I guess?

People keep predicting us to win big but we never really did that early last season either

Smith May Bowey Brayshaw Tomlinson Hunt That defence held bloody firm given 5/7 starters were out.

Not the point. Everybody knows Carlton are no chance. This one is as likely to be as tight as any match up could be, despite the GF blow out.

He won't sustain it, he's just not that kind of player. Doesn't mean he's no good, he's just been inconsistent his whole career.
