I can't comment about the poor forward entries and conversions but I have been growing concerned about the Dees Ruck contests where there are clearly no rules. It seems that one of the opposition coaches key strategies is to monster Gawn and Grundy because there will be no frees paid. I...

Comments above for what it is worth.

I am not an Eagles supporter but I am growing more dismayed by some the calls to sack Simpson or drop key players. 1) I am not sure that any coach could quickly improve the onfield efforts that were on display against the Swans. I did see Cornes examples of the lack of tackling effort of several...

To start something just for the Suns moderator, I have been a Suns member since their establishment so I trust the comments that follow isn't considered trolling the Suns. I cannot understand how the reports of Bowes being owed $850k next year (and potentially the following year) is something...

Just joined!

I am stunned by some of the free kicks given and not given but the 50 metre abuse penalties were beyond a joke! Petracca looked like he shook his head - 50 metres and goal. Perhaps Gil can get the umpires to crack down on players spitting water on the ground - as a post COVID protocol or farting...

Offsiders used to be a weekend highlight for me as I listened and watched Barrie Cassidy and then Gerard Whately bring their passion and knowledge to the fore. I now find it very hard to watch, Kelly Underwood really doesn't have the same gravitas and while there are some excellent guests...

I previously lived in Newcastle and coached under age AFL there too. There is a strong AFL base there but not sure a step straight into AFL is the way to go as I think both Tasmania and Northern Territory are well in front in terms of talent. It is quite a time since I was living in Newcastle...

Just how good is it to see the Suns throwing Casboult a lifeline! After choosing not to play 2 metre Peter, giving him away and then playing 2021 without a ruck - inspirational stuff. I suppose it only makes sense when the D team kept dropping Lyons because 'he didn't run both ways' and then...

I like what you posted and I think the inclusion of Brown changes the way that the forward line plays including changing the opposition matchups.

I would be happy to cut Dew the same sort of slack as Clarkson at the Hawks when he has coached as many finals and premierships

And Melbourne didn't go and get more Goodwin mates they got Williams. A strategy the Suns could consider.

A rough patch - when apart from Rounds 1-5 in any season has there not been a Suns rough patch?
