This is really good. Very encouraging.
All you can't want for as a supporter is that the team/Club is heading in the right direction.
I never felt that with Dew unfortunately.
I definitely feel that with Hardwick.

As frustrating as it was with the lack of plan from dimma to stop the Lions, I did enjoy the fact that he threw the magnets around mid game. So many times dew would roll out with the same line-up when it clearly wasn't working was hard to watch. You can see that dimma wants to try a few different things before working out what is his best line-up.
Sorry but where was the open letterOpen letter to fans from Dimma after Sunday
I’ve never seen that before
Loving this guy

A message from the coach:
The game is relatively simple, if you get a front half game and we get it played the way we want it to be played it’s okay. Unfortunately we didn’t get the front half game today so we had to move the footy from the back half which we definitely didn’t do well at all.
Footy is an arm wrestle, we made adjustments to counter their movement but from changing how we wanted to play behind the ball, meant we couldn’t get our offensive game going.
The reality of where we’re at is there’s going to be ups and downs and we’re under no illusion to that. Brisbane have had a shaky start but they’re a quality club who played in a Grand Final last year - we know there’s a gap between us and those top sides so it’s about taking lessons from these losses.
It was a tough night no doubt about it SUNS fans but we move forward and look to bounce back against the Roos

Club statement Wil Powell
The Gold Coast SUNS can confirm that defender Wil Powell has admitted to using a homophobic slur towards a Brisbane Lions player during Sunday’s match at the Gabba.
Absolutely horrible from a lot of peoples favourite player.Club statement Wil Powell

Not to defend his actions in any way, but clearly a lot of those players were very frustrated with their performance.
It looks like Wil also self reported this incident as well.
Hopefully this puts a full stop on players using abusive language on the field.

Wil is a lovely kid, he’s made a mistake in a time where virtue signalling rules over common sense, he would have received less penalty and retribution if he elbowed the guy in the head.
AFL inconsistency is frustrating. Compare with Clarko, Finlayson. Next player will get 7 weeks.

By no means condoning and has no place in the game or society, but I imagine it would've made the ruling a hell of a lot easier by the fact Wil's a sun. Maybe that's my bias idk

Got no issue with the suspension length, players need to be better, no need for that crap.
Very disappointing from Wil, has been my favourite player for a couple of seasons so feel let down by it.

Rightly or wrongly, he's clearly being made an example of by the AFL. The Finlayson suspension was handed down less than a month ago and I think the length of time between incidents would have motivated the AFL to come down harder on Wil. They want this kind of behaviour completely eradicated from the game and they'll probably come down even harder on the next player that does it.
It was just a really dumb decision from Wil to go there. Do the crime, do the time.

Maybe they should employ this wisdom to head high hits as well. Might finally crack down on concussions

Agree it's dumb, stupid and all that but my point is the time doesn't fit the crime.
And can someone explain to me how it's a 'homophobic slur' when the player it's directed towards is not offendered by the comment on the basis of his sexuality.
If the player is gay 3 weeks plus no problem.
I'm assuming he isn't so how is the comment homophobic?

I'm not sure what word was used. I'm assuming it was the f word, like Finlayson. The word has historically been used to denigrate gay people and its use is problematic as it infers that there is something wrong with being gay. It doesn't really matter what the sexuality of the person it is addressed to. It would be like calling a white person the n word.
All high profile businesses are gutless these days, easy virtue signal points for the AFL leadership
