List Mgmt. Where are they now? (ex suns)

Hindsight is always a gotcha, but Bluey was extremely highly rated going into our inaugural year. Plus it was an era where Coaches were getting gigs without a lot of experience. See: Voss.

Not a lot of people thought that Bluey to Coach us was a bad move at the time IIRC. Though it did have some detractors, see SandyToes.

Only ten years later if you saw a Coach go into a job with virtually zero experience it would definitely raise eyebrows. Only one I can think of who could tick that box is Sam Mitchell, but even he's smart enough to say 'not for another few years'.

It was a lot for a new untried coach to take on to start up a brand new club with pretty much everyone learning on the job..

although one of the most experienced people beating their chest in helping set up the club slowly and quietly slithered out and away back to Adelaide and has never really copped any backlash

you almost cringe at every step and appointments of the initial set up and to think this was supposed to be a professional team starting up

What I did get wrong was predicting Ablett being captain would be the making of him and catapult him to a new level
I guess there's a reason a strong traditional club like Geelong told him it would never happen for him there

That’s one thing I miss.. an attacking brand of football with young player playing on instinct

Those early years with our continual attack on the ball gained us a lot of credibility and warmth in the local community

Not to mention 100 point beltings.

But look at 2013/2014 apart from injury and got smacked on turnovers a bit due to not heavy defence but was exciting play you could see something building..

And yet it all fell apart when one player got injured

Not at 2s level. Didn't win a single game in 2014.

1s were good though, so long as they stayed healthy. Hard to know how good they were though with GAJ being so good and Harley riding shotgun.

Neafl team has been an issue pretty much since day 1
Even giants,swans,lions with injuries have managed to still be competitive in the neafl whereas the suns load up with 17 year olds.. josh Fraser was never a good coach either tbh

Im really happy for Harley, I hope he plays well. One of the nicest people I've met

Yeah, good luck to him. It's always nice to hear players getting a new chance, especially when their body has not been kind to them over the years.

Outstanding for Harley! Helps that he can play exclusively as a forward. Really looking forward to watching him.

 

[SnusCG]

Would take Bennell back in a heartbeat. Was the most talented player I’ve seen in Suns colours.

 

[SandyToes]

Still my favourite player
Well done Wheels

 

[Cochblocked]

First person Harley hugged after hearing the news was Steven May

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Hopefully kills it on the weekend and gets melbourne the win

 

[TheSunGod]

Stoked for Harley. Hope he smashes it. Will watch with interest.

Who’s watching BB?

I am actually warming to Gorringe

Nah gorringe is a world class *******.

 

[Big Red Machine]

Don't fall into his self deprecating trap

Remember all the off-seasons that he looked like Thor and was going to set the world on fire and then ended up playing like Loki and only just set the club on fire.

Stoked for Harley. Hope he smashes it. Will watch with interest.

Absolutely! A-Grade redemption story playing out before our eyes, Nothing but the best wishes for Wheels.
