[Farang83150]

Well spent it before he had it still not great

Yeah we get it

 

[Sea fog]

Hate watching games in these greasy Qld conditions. Granny could be like this.

 

[blinkd]

..GC always going to drop away being so young.This season is very harsh on the younger groups only one is in the 8 and still may miss

Yeah they have dropped away big time, only won 2 games since round 4.

% of 95.
Huge improvement from 60 last season.

 

[Black white]

I do love hearing chunky Dunstall crying when Collingwood wins. What a useless commentator

 

[Black white]

Didn't think they were allowed to say 'cakewalk' any more?

who said?

will suit Richmond

 

[The 747]

Just caught up on the first half, wow that was some run of favourable umpiring. Turned the game for one side and kept it there.

 

[Blues_Man]

Genuinely concerning how few people know what holding the ball is. How has Dunstall been in the game for so long and still has no idea.

I think you need to learn the rules ..not that they actually apply to your team

were you stoned?

 

[Somebody]

People will see tonight how important De Goey is to Collingwood

and tree-law

 

[Supersuns]

Yeah they have dropped away big time, only won 2 games since round 4.

Last year we won 0 games after round 4. Thats a 200% improvement!

Have played as many games in Queensland as Collingwood play in Melbourne every year

Whats that got to do with the GC performance in 2020, other than you seem to be agreeing with my comment.

We where tipped for the spoon again but pretty much everyone, have been in every game bar 2 bad performances since the restart and have improved our percentage from 64 to 94 this year. I think we have done pretty well considering the age profile and talent on our list. Our bottom 10 or so would be close to the worst in the league

Shiite.
Finals.
Does this mean Edward stays?

I reckon the Suns have had an ok season. If only they could retain their good players for 8-10 years. Would make interesting reading to compile a comprehensive list of top players they’ve lost in the past 5-6 seasons. Suns and Adelaide are the 2 clubs which have suffered the most through losing star players, although Adelaide’s losses stretch back a bit further than 5-6 years.

Begs the question then, how did you aquire such a poor bottom 10?

 

[Supersuns]

Because we have had our top talent raided over the last few years and noone wanted to be here coupled with really poor drafting. New football department have made massive strides in player retention as we dont have a single best 22 player out of contract going into next year, the right pieces are there its just a matter of getting the correct development out of them which I feel is happening already

Just related, how do you think the ending of the NEAFL & expanding the VFL with potentially reduced lists will affect the GC development. A plus or a minus?

A plus, the neafl standard is not up to it. So for our young blokes to play against proper AFL talent will be a major plus

 

[TheSunGod]

Suns don’t know how to win from here.

Who is their “follow me boys” Alpha guy in these situations?

He’s currently our assistant coach

Big things on the horizon for the Suns.

They keep the band together - Rowell, King, Rankine, Anderson, Lukosius - they'll have a handful of years in premiership contention.
