Liked: Double barrel ball handling. Good luck Collingwood.

 

[Billy ray]

Liked. That first 40 mins of qclash. The crowd was pumping and so loud and was great to have 8-9000 suns fans in the crowd

Learnt. We are progressing well. A few trades and another preseason into some of our players and we should be there again next year

Hated. We need white shorts if pink away. Black /charcoal if pink on occasion at home.
We also probably need all yellow with red logo and trims. Not blue logo and trims. With yellow shorts

The least I've been excited for finals in many a year, the same teams going around again and again all deserve to be here and play a brilliant game but there's no storyline, no underdog, no fairytale this year. We've been spoilt in previous years and this year pales in comparison (imo)

What was so exciting about the final 4 teams in '20, '21, '22, '23 and '24?

The anticipation of Hinkley sides bombing out in prelims or Longmire ones in grand finals? A couple of sides made runs from 5th-8th and Melbourne ended their drought in Perth but that's about it.

We’re ****ed if he starts juggling 3

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Hated: That the Poos and Wees army wearing their little dicky hats will be out in full force...no one wants to smell Piss and Shits on the sacred ground.

Are you 9?

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Suns still lack that win at all costs mentality. Clearly went into last nights game feeling like they’d done enough for the season.

 

[Gibbke]

The Hawks are either the best 8th team in the history of VFL/AFL footy, or the top eight is incredibly even (hint - look at the ladder). Still can't pick this...a lack of imagination gives us the two home teams this weekend, but the winners of the semis looked great for different reasons. Any of the four possible combos of GFalists would give us a great game...

Liked
Going to the game when many others couldn't get a ticket.

Hated
Losing most hope after three minutes, and having all hope dashed by halfway through the third quarter. If I was being objective rather than emotional, all hope should have been lost much earlier than that.

Learnt
Lack of finals experience in the players and senior coach matters, deeply. I hoped that this wouldn't be the critical factor, but it was.

 

[RonnieRaven]

Liked: I was busy doing other stuff
Learnt: Suns need better academy access and another Anderson type priority pick.
Hated:hate is a strong word but I won’t be watching prelims

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Liked: Hawks into a Prelim.
Learnt: Bombers fans genuinely think Nic Martin is a better player/talent than Josh Weddle, which is amazing to me.
Hated: Punky going down like that. Suns not giving a yelp.

Dewey's lost a few keys!

 

[Hawksboy72]

Liked: Hawks Win, Redsox beat the evil Empire, Philly Eagles got the W & Liverpool 4 from 4.

Learnt: Brisbane would have the other 3 very nervous

Hated: The Makybe Diva stks...what a farce of a race.

Dewey's lost a few keys!

Yeah, the ones to his shed where his gym equipment is kept mainly

Actually he does look trimmer compared to the final weeks of Suns duties when he was running riot at the allyoucandevour joints as a stress reliever.
