Prior seems to have stagnated if not regressed unfortunately.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

The difference between their forward line and ours is particularly stark.

 

[iBeng]

They are all over us, damn...

 

[Mr Ripper]

For context, last week GC only just beat Port Melbourne, who yesterday struggled to beat Preston.

Prior seems to have stagnated if not regressed unfortunately.

Jaxon OOC this year, think his AFL journey could be over.

 

[briztoon]

Do the Suns operate under similar conditions?

No.

They have an extended rookie list. Have far fewer listed VFL reserves, as they rotate their academy and NT kids through their reserves.

Plus, they're not so top heavy with KPP's.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Why the **** is Budarick on Day and Moyle?

 

[iBeng]

100 points incoming!

 

[Nunez]

The difference between their forward line and ours is particularly stark.

To be fair the Suns forward line has Casboult and Day - they should be all over us.

 

[M Malice]

Even Shadeau making mistakes now... we are >

Jaxon OOC this year, think his AFL journey could be over.

I doubt he'd command a big contract, he might still get a year or two as depth or to help develop the next group.

"It's not over yet". Sweetie, they're down by 53.

I mean, he isn't wrong, plenty of time until the final siren. Next to no chance we'll be in front when that happens if course

 

[Mayestro]

Could be our extended injury list starting to bite compared theirs, so I’d presume we’d have far fewer listed players playing today?

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Ok, if he meant to do that, fair play, it was an insanely good bit of skill

 

[briztoon]

Do the Suns operate under similar conditions?

Just looked at the teams. Suns starting 3 top ups in their top 18, Lions starting 6.

Plus Suns only have 2 players on their injury list, while we have 8.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Brutal tackle

 

[BRAB]

Sack Ben Hudson and bring in Jason Akermanis.

Hudson ball is not sustainable.

 

[M Malice]

This is how the Suns will attempt to beat us tonight at the Gabba, run and gun, overlap handball receives quick play on footy.

It will be interesting.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Prior's been one of our best today? News to me.

 

[Grasshopper17]

That was always the knock on him. Likened himself to Cerra in his draft year, but doesn't have the same quality of disposal. Sometimes he knows what the kick is to open up the game, but is not capable of executing the kick, and turns it over.

Wonder if Noah could get in his ear about a few tips and tricks on improving one's disposal.

20 disposals and 7 marks means he has to be in the conversation. The competition isn't super strong
