    Suns Rep Footy

    First year at a new club after moving inter-state? No, they won't pick him when they have other good options.

    Yep, they did the right thing by Dupay. They must have their eye on some late round talent that they really want a list spot for since not having Dupay will make us worse next year. Anyway, two positive things to look for: We will set the record for the youngest selected team and list in AFLW...

    Surely they would have wanted to keep Whitfort so she must have been OK with a move back home. The timing was good at least since we actually need draft picks this year. The biggest thing with Hatchard (and Phillips for sure and Mithen I guess) will be standard setting. If you pay attention to...

    The 3 trade names mentioned by Fox are Bella and Whitfort to the Blues and Dupay to the Hawks. Bella is the 2nd option for the Blues who are also trying to get the Swans ruck. Dupay would be a big get for the Hawks, complete opposite type of key forward to McDonough. Anyway, we probably need...

    AFLW SUNS AFLW Season 2025

    Given we probably need 6 or 7 picks inside the top 30 this year it was always likely that a couple of older players with value would go. Dupay would make a lot of sense for other teams and she is kind of wasted here. Would be sad to see her go but stacking the youth is the path we are on...

    Scoops gets it right.... Erin Phillips incoming...... Boddsy won't know what to think since she is Crow/Port royalty.

    Bohanna was a good mark and kick from her first game. If a team can get her the ball somewhere near goal she is a very good key forward. Bella can tap but that's about it. Not a good mark, not a good handballer, not a good kick and that is after 10 seasons in the comp. She would do Ok at a good...

    2026/2027 Draft & Trade Periods

    I think Thomas is the only top 40 draft pick we have taken in the last 3 years that is not from the academy. It is sad but true that they would be happier if we kept drafting out of Victoria (Humper, Mac, Noah, Rowell, BKing) and they kept trying to lure them back, even if it means they can now...

    2026/2027 Draft & Trade Periods

    This is a good problem to have. We had the other problem (not enough talent) for a lot of years. Prefer this problem.

    2026 Fixture Discussion

    Two games is too many but Darwin has been good for us, including prime time channel 7 games the last couple of years. We just don't get many of them A Friday night channel 7 game during indigenous round against a good Vic oppo followed by our bye or a Sunday game the next round? Can live with that.

    Looking forward to the numpties on radio in Melbourne next year trying to explain how our fixture is actually one on the easier ones and the AFL are looking after their Nepo Babies again....

    Unfortunately, the youngsters are currently the ones with the best skills and we might need foot skills and clean hands more than anything. I really do think Whitfort and Darcy can make a real difference if they can come back at something like their best. They are 2 of our best 5 players and...

    AFLW SUNS AFLW Season 2025

    Our list is a mess and will take a couple more years to get anywhere and that is only if the young talent are any good, including good at being standard setters and leaders. We had a chance to be a half-decent team that could win at least 4 or 5 games out of 12 (we played finals in 2023 ffs)...

    Meant 11 wins and 12 losses and finishing 10th (eg Crows in 2023). If it happens at some point there will be whinging.

    2026 Fixture Discussion

    Fair has very little to do with it..... If they can add games and get away with it, they will. We now play 23 games and have just added another one for 2 clubs (9th and 10th). Another reason NOT to look at American sports and how they turn everything into money. Also, is it just me or is the...
