    Review Round 5 (Gather Round) vs Sydney @ Norwood Oval. Sat 11th April 4:15pm

    If the midfield does not play better then nothing else really matters. Did not win enough clean footy. Did not handle pressure from oppo, including way more fumbles than oppo. Did not apply enough pressure to oppo anywhere on the ground. A far cry from most of the games last year. Who can handle...

    Review Round 4 vs Melbourne @ The MCG - Sun 4 April 3:15pm

    Sometimes it is simple. Melbourne had the 3 best players on the ground (Gawn, Kozzie and Steele) and they all played through the midfield. None of our good players played well (King was OK). Tbh, this is how other teams can feel when our ruck and midfield combo get on top and win the midfield...

    Review Round 1 vs West Coast @ People First Stadium. Sun 15 March 5:10pm AEST

    Gerard Healy on Fox said that Dimma would be quietly happy with the poor second half. Disappointed, but happy that he has some clear evidence of what needs more work and which players were passengers and not playing their role. It is a tough one though. Do we think there would be such a drop...

    2026/2027 Draft & Trade Periods

    Ben King? Handy player, would be a good foil for Walter, Read and JUH, but will be expensive.

    Review Opening Round vs Geelong @ People First Stadium. Fri 6 March 7:05pm

    A few notes. Only one game but speed and power around the ball and applying pressure was a step up from last year. Swapping out a few handy players from the finals teams for Trac, Graham, Clohesy and Lombard made a speed and power difference. How good was it to see (1) some of the forwards lead...

    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.

    AFLW SUNS AFLW Season 2025

    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...

    AFLW SUNS AFLW Season 2025

    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...

    AFLW SUNS AFLW Season 2025

    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.

    AFLW SUNS AFLW Season 2025

    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.
