Review Round 21 vs Richmond @ People First Stadium - Sat 2 August 4:10pm

[Yellow Feathers]

We are playing finals.

 

[Mini GF]

I hate Richmond so much
This is the greatest night of my life

 

[SaadyArmy]

Powell just rested last 5 minutes?

and what’s the go with Flanders?

 

[Big Red Machine]

Can we celebrate now Big Red Machine

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

Powell just rested last 5 minutes?

and what’s the go with Flanders?

Flanders pulled up really bad. Just before the tigers second goal for anyone trying to find it

You hear Lynchy react without anyone saying much on the broadcast

Was pointing at his chest when he came off

Seeing Prestia run around trying to be a cheap stumpy imitation of Rowelly is just magnificent

 

[TheGoldPersons]

Is there more than about 6 people who care?

Gotta be smarter if you want the build the fanbase, it only hurts both teams

 

[Southern Sun]

Powell looked to be in a bit of a collision when backing into a contest late.
Flanders looked ginger all game but his back went on him late. Wouldn't be surprised if they give Flanders a rest, he bounced back really well after the bye and maybe a freshen up he can do it again. Graham for Flanders next week, hopefully Powell is ok.

 

[Big Red Machine]

and what’s the go with Flanders?

Powelly came off with blood on his hand

Not sure if he got stood on or if it was coming from somewhere else

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Powell was a ripper today for a skinny kid to take the game on like Rowell does, it was good to watch

Next man up mentality with Rioli out

 

[TheGoldPersons]

There was no mention of Flanders in press conference

 

[KaySwizzle]

To be honest, it was a pretty boring game with minimal atmosphere. But that’s what I wanted: a chill (was probably too chilly for my taste though), never in doubt evening where we boost our percentage and control most of the game.

Farrar and Long are a great combo. Read is getting his minutes up into the 70s which is a big jump from earlier in the season. Humphrey is marking everything. Collins is back to reading the ball perfectly. Powell finally has a role. And we were leading a bit more and marking the ball inside 50.

And the pink looked great. Really wanted a scarf, but I’ll settle for a few tees and a hat.

Not much to complain about. Hope no injures from it (sucks about Graham though). Rosas, Swallow, and maybe Lombard or Rogers are ready to step up if needed though after their VFL game.

 

[Supersuns]

Crowd was very disappointing for a big Victorian club and decent time slot.

Moment from the Bench: Powelly yelling at Touk from the bench to "Use Humper" and not even 5 seconds later; Hump is taking a contested i50 mark

That Richmond bandwagon has fallen apart

 

[TheGoldPersons]

Noticed King has been playing up higher too and not just sticking to the goal square

 

[davidgoes4wce]

If Gold Coast get a Top 4 finish, would they prefer an away final in QLD or to travel away at the MCG/Adelaide Oval?


I feel like a path to the prelim final/grand final is best served by playing an away final against Brisbane. And based on the last showing, Suns should have no fear of Brisbane.

Its like the coaching group reads bigfooty to get solid ideas

My prediction would be 5th and a home elimination final against Fremantle.

 

[TheGoldPersons]

And Rowell's form has been unbelievable since he re-signed

Agreed, Rowell and Anderson are honestly amazing

4th spot is more lucrative than 5th though.

You always chase the double chance if you get it. Suns v Giants will be a huge fixture.

Carlton and Port have pretty much put the cue in the rack, are winnable away games. It is looking at the moment the bare minimum is a home final somewhere in the Finals (5th , 6th or a Top 4)

I reckon the Suns should be aiming higher.

Was half watching/half working but King looked awesome from what I seen. Some big 100m chases, big contested mark, leading up as you say. Very impressive

I still can’t bring myself to even say fi…

That Richmond bandwagon has fallen apart

They were so obnoxiously mouthy as recently as 10 mins before the Noah goal after the siren game but the majority are not true fans, they are bandwagoners as you have said and have creepy back under the rock.

Yeah we should be aiming for higher for sure that's just my prediction
