Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 5 - Swans v Suns Sat April 11th 4:15pm AEST/3:45pm (Norwood)

[Leather Poisoning]

King really is a 'mark or bust' type player.

Just does absolutely nothing if he doesn't take the grab. Often just stands still/walks around a bit. Occasaionlly he'll do a half-hearted jog.

Put him in the ruck

 

[Hollow Knight]

That’ll do it.

Swans have been noticeably the better team.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Heeny three votes, but Big Mac surely gets the two…..

Be close Warner has been good though 2 and 20+

 

[Supersuns]

We are exactly where I'd thought we'd be. The pre season fellatio of us was ridiculous. At best we are top 6.

Will be interesting to see Rowell and Petracca in the same side

Hopefully we just roll Mac through as the ruck rest of year. Witts is proper cooked

Old fashioned full forward really.

 

[Plugger35]

The scoreline starting to look like it should, the Swans have been clearly the better team and the Suns don't deserve to be close.

 

[Mr Meow]

GC2015 back to our discussions last year, Gold Coast are still not proper contenders until their level on the road is much closer to their dominance at GC or in the NT.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

The AFL needs to give the Nepo babies more Nepo babies we can’t have this happening too often…

 

[ABAB]

Old fashioned full forward really.

Can you be an old fashioned full forward with the modern game??? Darcy does contribute around the ground and Thilthorpe does this even more.

If even Hardwick can't fix the environment up there, has there ever been any successful expansion sport team up there......

In one word No!

Leads the coleman so being an old fashioned FF is working for him.

Won an away final last year and lots of of their players that are going to be very good are still teenagers or early 20's. They'll be fine.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Confidence looks smashed

Like an Avocado on Sunday Morning toast.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Sydney are getting an absolute ride from the umps

Yep that was the difference in the game.

 

[loopy0812]

The Suns are still in this, more due to the Swans being wasteful than them playing great footy.



He is a right footer too so surely that is a better percentage shot on an angle than trying to snap it on his non preferred foot.

He isn't the only Swans player to miss an easy shot on goal today but he is definitely their worst offender with a 0.4 scoreline.

Amarty 0.3
McDonald 1.2
Curnow 0.4

As well held as King was held he scored more goals than all of Sydney's key forwards put together. All 3 are repeat offenders as well and a lot more often than a main forward should.

 

[Billy ray]

In one word No!

Come on guys. Try harder. You and ABAB forgot to follow up with transient population.

Haha okay mate. After a month on the road, I'm looking forward to getting Petracca and Humphrey back for a home game next week. They've both been sorely missed in the last fortnight and it'll be nice to get back on our home deck after an extended run on the road.

Superb team up north, so the home games will be great.

Relatively unproven elsewhere against decent teams. Sydney were missing Gulden and could have won by 10 goals.

ah yes. the swans famous home grounds of melbourne, bye, perth and adelaide certainly gave them and advantage today.

Yes, Swans were way better team and missed some easy shots, comical ones from Curnow. Swans better in contest, pressure, shocking disparity in tackling. They do look top 4 right now.

A lot of Suns players not in form, middle still issue, Witts looks in serious trouble with new rules. Work in progress. Petracca, Humphrey to the rescue next week. They do need to lift effort and settle some roles.

Yeah, I'm definitely not saying the Suns are a bad team. They just have progression ahead of them before people lock them in for a run of grand finals. Road form is a big part of that, as much as dominant home form is the first step (already practically achieved).
