Review Round 22 vs Essendon @ Alphabet Stadium (Sunday 15.08.2021 - 3:20pm)

[OB11]

I'm barracking for monumental losses in our last 2 games. The club's hand needs to be forced for next year.

 

[OB11]

As well as poor structure, there has been poor player development.

As hard as it is to watch this I think you are right OB11. We were pathetic against the Demons and the pressure came off Dew when we won last week. Only a couple of flogging to finish the year and some interest from Clarkson could force the AFLs hand

 

[CommittedSuns]

I don’t think we need to go on a witch-hunt just yet for Dew and the crew. There are plenty of positives coming out of this season. Also agree with you Sunny. We have half of the vfl team out there. Injuries are part of the game so not going to use it as an excuse but we have been able to get games into Sharp, Jeffrey etc who may not have got the chance otherwise. We are a few list decisions away from success. Draper has killed Smith today and the Bombers are nearly at full strength

 

[Supersuns]

Why would the players want to stay? We don't have any redeeming reasons for them to stay. Club is cooked

 

[Iva Bigun]

Phew, our high priced recruit is about to come on the field, Atkins will turn this around LOL

400 grand worth of Quality

Atkins impact on the game so far

Suns 1 goal
Bombers 0 goals

Dew masterclass

 

[Cheifkeith95]

Lockdown would be so much better with a good team, it sucks being stuck in all week waiting for the footy and getting blown out most weeks

 

[Sunny_]

Carrying the wounded. Lemmens and Bowes add to the long casualty ward.

gets 30 touches with 15 seconds left

Peter Wright is a fraud

 

[Sunny_]

Any chance Markov comes back next week? At least he provides some run.

Would also like to see Day come back. Just gives us some height up forward.

Drop Smith, put Burger in the ruck.

Peter Wright is a fraud

Yep Wright was impressive wasn't he. Absolute dominant midfield going his way and he could not get near it. Any remotely decent backman will destroy him.

 

[Sun Stormer]

Woeful effort..... shows the complete lack of any game plan. Badly need a coach who can actually coach....and put some grunt in the whole team. Townsend again showed what is needed....pity he doesn't get more of the pill

 

[Camsta]

I read the article and I can understand the thinking behind playing the game at GMHBA, but what logic was it to pass up a home game, in front of a home crowd over a ridiculous, narrow stadium, that we’ve never won a game at, that doesn’t suit our game style infront of no one?

not a chance Brisbane would make that decision even if they had to do hotel quarantine

All week I coped the Suns are idiots for trading 2m Peter this week the excuses were back can’t have him kicking goals this week or it would have been 100+ plus, he is having an off week. 19 games, 25 goals no big loss

You’re not the only one mate, I gave him a roasting and copped it from a few on this board in pure distaste. But I was *Wright* he’s a useless hack who beat up on a shitty excuse of a player in Schache who shouldn’t even be on an AFL list. Wright could not get near it all day and as I predicted Collins dominated him. Thanks for allowing us to free up $500k plus of salary Wright!!

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

King has pace and on the lead is his go.
We burn him time and time again and then kick it on his head with 2 defenders there.
Turn up to play one quarter then throw the towel in the for the next 3 quarters. Something NQR with this group.

He doesn't care
He's a wanted player at a finals Club

I’m not having a go at 2m Peter just the bombers supporters. I was more disappointed when Dan Gorringe left lol

 

[SandyToes]

Pretty pathetic when we get ragdolled by a team but the best we've got is "at least 2MP didn't kick a bag"
The little victories

I think the little victories in regard to something like the Peter Wright trade are only relevant on a board like this, where people seem to respond and react to absurd levels, almost minute to minute.

Peter Wright was the second coming of Christ last week based on one game. So yeah, little victories at this point.

 

[Young_Guns]

Officially 18th in points scored for the season, with the gap to 17th looking like opening up with Sydney to come next week.

I know having a middle of the road defence is great and all, but if we don’t spend the summer installing a gameplan that gives us even a chance of scoring then you can probably say goodbye to the club (a bit dramatic I know).

The complete disconnect between the forward line and the mids/defence is incredible.

The second coming of Christ is Sam Draper after he gave Zac smith a bath

It’s impossible to score any goals, 100 points in a game is an absolute miracle
