Punched the pole, pacing up and down then meditating on his own to calm down

This is the passion from players our first list build never had. Love it.

I’ll keep this as short as possible:

The VFL fixturing and VFL Umpires ensured that tonight was about making sure any feral RICHmond supporter in Brisbane got to sing that song.

And now we have a really important game for us in Darwin who are our new zone and partners and the fixturing again makes it pretty insurmountable.

 

[Supersuns]

Lukosius 27 touches
Anderson 26 touches

wow future is bright

Incredible game for Luko.

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

We played really well I thought. We got beaten by the lack of recovery and senior legs able to run it out. I was very impressed with how we played.

Anderson, Lukosius and Powell all had break out games. Wow. That was super to watch. Worth it just to see them do that.

Another tough game, and Carlton will probably run over us in 4 days time as well which is disappointing.

 

[Big Red Machine]

Lukosius 27 touches
Anderson 26 touches

wow future is bright

The future is ******* bright lads

53 touches between them against the reigning champs

* yeah

Punched the pole, pacing up and down then meditating on his own to calm down

sounds like a man after my own heart

Shout out to Bowes too. He's a serious player. His movement in traffic is elite.

As opposed to our ex-captains who would’ve, well, done what one of them did tonight. Something idiotic to rub him out.

The amount of times he has sold candy to create space out of nothing this season! Should open a lolly shop.

 

[Paul Mac]

All things considered, much better than I expected. 4 day break killed us in the end.
Anderson is a star.
Powell was great.
Riewoldt is still the biggest diva in the game.
Lynch is still mentally weak.
Umpire #18?is a dead set cheat.

Think you should have noticed umpire # 10 in the last quarter was more the worry. Have a look at some of the calls he made. When ellis was manhandled in the last quarter umpire # 10 was side on 10 metres away and he called play on. At least umpire # 18 ( Razor ray ) who was 50 metres away did pay the obvious free kick for ellis to kick a goal. Look at the next few decisions after the Ellis goal who made some crucial calls and it wasn't umpire 18.

Has actually done it every game, my housemate and I have made a drinking game out of Bowesys side stepping

Ah, yep. That’s the one I meant. Was hard to tell from the top of the gabba.

Im absolutely blasted atm. Between that and how many times luko kicks down the guts I get blond drunk every suns game

 

[luthor]

Well played Suns.

Just wanted to say that we are as outraged on our board as you probably are about Lynch's dog act bullshit.

keep up the good work.

One of us is going to kick the VFL up the arse sooner or later

 

[eighties]

Really encouraging performances by Luko Anderson and Powell.

Umps were an absolute farce tonight, but like the other close games that we have lost it all comes down to our bad goal kicking and the 'nearly' goals that just never seem to eventuate. Luko Post, Anderson miss, Holman dropped chest mark, Greenwood easy miss. We dont seem to get the 'easy' goals but love giving them away. Need to tighten it all up a bit.

Dew should have told Fiorini to go and put one on Lynchs chin because he isnt going to be playing in the 1's anytime soon after his performance.

Team looked more balanced with Graham in the team even though he made mistakes. he did ok.

Collins what a legend of a bloke! heart and soul player. love him!

think he thought he was punching Lynch

i love sam collins

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

Great game tonight. Really rattled them early. If they hadn't had more than double the break GC had, it could have well been a win.
The intercept marking in the back half was brilliant. Sam Collins is all class too. I like the cut of his jib.

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

I was happy with our pressure. It was elite every time it came up on fox footy pressure gauge, we just ran out of legs as we’ve had 3 games in 9 days. Really admire the heart our boys showed though. Lots to be proud of tonight. Holman and Fiorini need to step it up though sheesh.

No way we drop young players Rankine, Budarick, Anderson, Flanders, Powell, King, Ballard unless medical/performance team says so. We need to put as many games into them as soon as possible. Last year people wanted to drop Luko, King, this year only recently Anderson, Powell, King. Now Rankine. No way. All are unbelievable talent. Yes, they will make plenty of mistakes, have down games, run out of legs but they are our future and all will be killing it soon as Luko, Anderson, Ballard and Powell already did tonight. The focus is building team towards 2022.

That 2nd QTR performance was a beauty to watch minus conversion.

Collins is my warrior tonight. It would be so easy to hit Lynch back but he kept it together.

Very very very good points. Games into young players are so important especially when they will be in our best 22 to contend for finals and flags in the future. The more games into these blokes sooner the better.

Realistically we probably won't make finals this year but next week we should be expecting to make the Finals so if we can get these games into these players (AFL games not scratch matches) then it will only help us in the long term!

 

[Maroon Monsoon]

Bloody tough loss, if that greenwood kick had gone through i reckon you would have held on. Play with the same intensity next Friday and i reckon you curb stomp the blues

You guys are really building to something, and such a likeable young group of players! Really happy for you, reckon you'll be making some real noise in the finals next year

 

[Big Red Machine]

I miss Stephen May...

Because he would have decked Lynch and I would have loved every single second of it

Luckily Collins is a better man
