Suns in the Media - Part I

[SandyToes]

good stat Bods, didn't know that and I bet most people don't

As the Coach said
Having GWS and Suns in the comp added $50M to the broadcasting rights alone
That's 5 million a year on a 5 year deal

 

[OB11]

Because no one cares about them, like literally no one.

Both got shit stadium deals at Marvel, and given the AFL now owns Marvel they are making it up to those clubs with increased distributions.

I think that's what happens but I'm not sure

I ****ing love how open minded Stuey is. Such a winner at heart.

This be very good.

Amazon producers will be given unprecedented access to the players, which will take viewers inside training sessions, team meetings and even inside their homes.
Camera crews will be given access to club representatives two to three times per week, with filming starting at the end of March.

For expansion clubs GWS and Gold Coast, both of whom are based in traditionally non-football heartland, the documentaries are an opportunity to showcase the growing culture at their clubs.

Day has taken it upon himself to become more of a leader among a forward contingent stacked full of young talent including Alex Sexton, Ben Ainsworth, Darcy Macpherson, Izak Rankine, Josh Corbett, Peter Wright, Sean Lemmens, Ben King, Nick Holman and Malcolm Rosas.
“I’m excited and I feel like I can have a big influence on the group if I can stay healthy and really drive the group forward,” Day said.
“We are pretty young up the front but I feel like we can do some damage.
“We are not your households names, not many people would know about us but looking forward to it.”

Brandon Ellis is locked in for five years at Gold Coast but doesn’t believe he will need them all to help turn the Suns into an AFL force.
The Suns prized recruit and two-time Richmond premiership player has finished his first summer with his new team and as he prepares to launch into the 2020 premiership season, Ellis is bullish about what the reigning wooden spooners can do.
“We are really young as a list and there is so much top-end talent that really hasn’t been seen yet or reached their full potential,” Ellis said.
“Once we start getting some games into them and some games together each week the better we will be.
“That is what they have struggled with throughout their time in the AFL, having that continuity.
“People are continually getting up and leaving to go home or elsewhere.
“But we have signed around 25 of our young guns and they will be the future of this footy club.
“The next few years will be very exciting and promising.”

When we start winning some games this will definitely be a destination club,” Ellis said.
“I was very lucky to play with Richmond for the last eight years and been pretty successful down there.
“What better way to come up here to a club that has been struggling the last couple of years to take them off the bottom and build something special.”

So what would be better for Ellis? Winning two flags with a powerhouse or taking a team from the bottom to the top of the ladder to win a premiership?
“Ask me that after we win a flag up here,” Ellis said.
Ellis is hoping to make a big impact on the Suns playing group but believes the development will be two-fold, with the added responsibility of being a leader to young players a potential catalyst to his own growth as a player.
“If you have that leadership role and young guys look up to you, it holds you to account and makes you want to be a better person and teammate,” Ellis said.

If i could have any player from any team to join the suns.

Marcus Bontempelli would be my first pick. Strong, tall, agile can kick goals with good leadership... Something Noah Anderson has alot in common. Hopefully we develop our own Bont..... because Jack Scrimshaw didn't work out. Will brodie suppose to also be in the patrick cripps mould too.
