Reading that history we really should think about changing our name to the Gold Coke Suns and chase the Sinaloa Cartel as a major sponsor. Then any critics might mysteriously disappear only to be found months later missing their heads. One way to stop the constant self-inflicted ridicule?

 

[The Kings Ransom]

made a list of some controversial decisions & events over the years. let me know if i've missed any!

2011

• made gary ablett jnr captain (led from the front on field, but probably pushed into the role as we had no one else)

• harley bennell dropped for disciplinary reasons multiple times throughout season
• campbell brown removed from leadership group after being detailed after bar fight in thailand (3 other players involved)

How far down the rabbit hole do we go?
My worst was trading pick 4 to Melbourne for pick 8 and taking Ah Chee over Clayton(The good Clayton..not our resident idiot list manager at the time)

[Ben Drever]

harley Bennell that kid had it all
At his feet
About the last time I really enjoyed watching the suns tbh * 6+ years has gone quick
Still Remember he had about 30 touches and 6 goals against the cats

 

[exile]

add it to the list !!!

added them both. they were two fairly bad ones, i could add a bunch of s**t trades we've done, but a lot is subjective and happens to a lot of clubs.
if anyone has any other off field or general s**t things that have happened to us i'll keep adding to it.

an overpay at the time, but we got ballard with that trade too. too soon to judge!

 

[Lord_Flashheart]

This looks like a good idea for a new thread.

An unflattering history of the Fold Coke Suns.

You legend touk

 

[SandyToes]

I would be quite interested to have some finer detail on the "special relationships" we hear Dew develops with the players
I think we can safely assume Lyons Ah Chee Wright Brodie and Greenwood are not 5 of them
Lets hope its King Lukosius Rankine Rowell and Anderson
I'm not holding my breath

Good choice, Dew. I would go with second five too.

To be fair I'd take Anderson over the whole first 5

From what I understand King and Dew in particular are very close.

Does anyone know if the club does player sponsorship?

 

[SUNS]

Does anyone know if the club does player sponsorship?

Yes they generally do!

 

[nutstar]

Does anyone know if the club does player sponsorship?

On numerous occasions we’ve tried to pull together to have the board sponsor a player.. generally not enough interest or money to sponsor anyone.

In saying that… I’m down for $200 if we can pull together a player sponsorship.

I ended up emailing the club and they don’t currently offer player sponsorships.

 

[thewizardmelon]

I’d be down to help if the club decided to start up player sponsorships again.
