They played three good quarters today. That's not bad for a bottom 4 team.

Freo made quite a few misses in the early years in regards to recruiting players. It took us till 2002 until we won 3 in a row FFS.Brown was sacked after 3 years.
Brennan retired after his first contract was finished.
Hunt was basically sacked after 4 years when it was discovered he was on the gear.
Dixon was basically let go after being seen as unprofessional, a destabilising influence and then asking for too much money.
Krakouer left for mental health reasons after just one season.
So they were all moved on pretty quickly.
Brisbane is my favourite QLD side and it appears the greater world agreesYes, WHAT THE HELL! Now rumors of David Swallow wanting out and returning to WA. Can it get any worse for the Suns? Tom Lynch probably gone, Steven May and David Swallow maybe, their 3 best players.
They haven't bottomed out yet, where do they go if they lose these 3?
The AFL needs to stop inventing new clubs
I had a look at their list and if these 3 leave they are in terrible shape with their list, if all the players left were on the market the only ones I'd be interested in would be Touk Miller, Ben Ainsworth and Jack Martin.Brisbane is my favourite QLD side and it appears the greater world agrees
See I’m not even anti expansion necessarily but yeah maybe 18 is too manyThe AFL needs to stop inventing new clubs

Serious question - I will always love Dew for his ten minutes in 2008 - but do the players like him?...and Melbourne media needs to stop inventing new stories without any basis in fact.

That makes sense to me. Seemed well liked at Sydney
One of our moderators described living in the Gold Coast like being in a game of Grand Theft AutoThey're pretty much ******.
Will lose Lynch.
Will lose May next year.
Swallow looks like leaving now, with kids like Brodie and Scrimshaw rumored to be wanting out.
Who will be left? They don't have the draft concessions anymore and a couple of picks a year isn't going to rebuild them any time soon.
Hard to build a football team if nobody wants to live there.
They're pretty much ******.

This has nothing to do with my comment

Gold Coast is like putting a team in kings cross, that is what has happened
I am assuming that your comment was a flow on from the David Swallow comment which appears to have been pulled out of thin air by Jon Ralph who wrote the article stating that Dave Swallow is out of contract next year so must be wanting to go home. this has all of a sudden become - OMG Dave Swallow wants to go home, The SUNS are going to fold, they can't hold their players. This kind of bullshit journalism needs to stop
See this post as an example.
There’s no doubt about that. Middle-class culture – incorporating an attendant powerful hostility towards anything bar rigidly amateur sport – was a major reason why Hawthorn and St. Kilda were so bad for so long up to the middle 1950s, and that it is absent on the Gold Coast I am not convinced. If teams on the Gold Coast have problems with the local culture, it is by no means tough to imagine that a competitive Suns team is a long time in the future.As a long time Richmond supporter it is hard to ignore that leadership in setting up culture is as important high end draft picks when building a decent/competitive side. Many ex players have stated the culture at GC is shagged.
You forget (or didn't even know) the Lions up the road were in this position just 2 years ago.
I come back to my comment in previous post, they need the right people in charge. Worked wonders with us, will for the SUNS as well.
