[eppo67]

Didn't live on the GC= not sure whether he's actually ever been here.
BTW- for anyone wondering- today is just glorious here on the Southern GC

Southern GC = Real GC

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

Finally it’s game day! Fire up SUNS I want a hard 4 quarter effort, be first to the ball and contest and put your heads over the ball. Let’s go boys!

Game day. I don't know what I want/expect. With everything you read about the place we should be aiming for an honorable loss... well F**K that. Get in first, go hard , get the win and go.from there

 

[gcsunsfc]

Excited to see us play today.
Wanting us to crack in, show some poise with ball in hand and kick some goals!

Our midfield needs to give Peter Wright opportunity against a very young defence.

I’m excited/nervous.. I have a feeling we’ll either get thrashed or win closely lol

Really want him to kick 3-4 goals.
Has kicked 3+ 8 times in his 49 game career - one 5 goal haul.

Let's start the year off on a good note Pete!

 

[Stroppy]

Just play well. Don't stink up the joint, especially on the road.
More important than the result imo.

Build a base of performance where we play well most weeks.

Keep an eye on %. If we can't get it above 70% we are kidding ourselves.
Blues and Suns were 59% last year. We might have won 4 games but that % is just woeful.

 

[kreglze]

Win would be great, just can’t get belted though. Keep it tight and we might sneak the W. Wright to have a big day out.

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Got my tickets and pretty pumped, although a bit nervy.
Not expecting much this year but want to see 4 quarter efforts unlike the last 2 years where we fade out after half time.
Need 1-2 of the young blokes to break out like Worpel has after only 12 months in the system.

 

[ajsars]

Finally the season starts! Been a round of supposed upsets so far (terrible start to going) so hopefully we can keep it going

 

[2010premier]

Anybody at the neafl game? I’d be interested to know how it’s gone

 

[GC2015]

I'm feeling good about this one. The stage is set for us to show what we're made of (like Port, Hawthorn, Bulldogs and Brisbane did yesterday).

 

[Cochblocked]

Heading to the game and looking forward to it. Just worried how our midfield will stack up. There’s been a heap of crazy results this round so far, so hopefully it continue with a Suns win

I'm feeling good about this one. The stage is set for us to show what we're made of (like Port, Hawthorn, Bulldogs and Brisbane did yesterday).

I’m feeling exactly the opposite... can’t pinpoint exactly why.

 

[Supersuns]

Just rolled into Melbourne for the game, cracking day for footy. Hope the boys are up and about and really give it to the saints. I want 2MP to kick 4

 

[Mini GF]

As a jaded and bitter Giants/Seagulls/Chargers/Titans/Rollers/Blaze/GCU Fan I feel nothing other than impending doom

Go Suns

 

[Camsta]

Don’t really care about the win - just want to see some effort and some impressive signs of improvement

 

[NOBBYS]

Footys back you beauty.
Can the SUNS continue the trend of the round with so many upsets happening already.
My expectations for the year are not overly high but like a lot of other supporters just want to see an improvement in our
ability to stay in games a lot longer than the past couple of years.
Todays game gives us a realistic chance to record an early win, this St Kilda team is as weak as any opposition side
we will play all year .
Would love to see our younger players starting to show signs that they are heading to the next level in their development.
Keys for us to win !
Peter Wright needs a big game , this is his big chance.
Our midfield needs to at least contain the St Kilda mids .
Jarred Witts needs to impose himself at every contest ,previously has struggled to dominate inexperience opposition.
Martin ,Hanley Weller need to be at there best.
Should be close .
Suns by ten points.

I’m hoping for a big win, there is plenty of talent in our side, it’s time to shine.

 

[TheSunGod]

Geez they’re pumping up Luko on TV. I hope he gets a touch. Body is still 2-3 years away from making a real impact IMO.

Win win for the media, gives the media a chance to say we haven’t developed him if he doesn’t touch it and if he does the narrative will be the Crows and Port will be taking note

 

[gcsunsfc]

Not a good start.
Cant keep the ball in our hands.
a few kick and marks to settle it down much needed

They're winning at the stoppages too

 

[TheSunGod]

Usual start. Can’t get the ball. Turnovers when we do. Who needs a midfield?
