I honestly wouldn’t be super surprised if we see a few more of this type of one-colour design in the coming years. Even as alts or away strips - some of them in the previous post ⬆️ look great. Tradition be damned, stripes, hoops, and sashes are boring as hell

Red on red is hot 🔥 like a sun!

I tell you why I like it. We are 100% not doing anything like any of the other teams, unique. Up close the red on red looks hot – jury’s out on field, but couldn’t care less about tv if we’re swarming red jumpers forward. We own red. In a competitive market, branding to outright own a colour is...

Just put it on and win games. I’m convinced that if a group of supporters can rally behind brown and yellow stripes, we’ll survive with whatever logo and colours we choose… if we’re winning. *for what it’s worth, the jumper mockup looks kind of retro to me. I don’t mind it, nostalgia’s cool

I’m not sure why there’s angst about Rioli, or angst in general about trade values as they are happening. The known superstar trade so rarely happens – much more frequently the Rioli level player moves around. The value in him doesn’t lie (in any way) in what he was able to do for Richmond, but...

This is exactly right. He could potentially sit in our forward line and be a real concern outside of our bigs/talls – which we've never really had (Rankine only briefly). The finals presence, plus 30-ish dangerous goals is an absolute win while kids like Rogers, Humphrey and Lombard get better...

I think you definitely have to be okay with pick six going as part of the Rioli deal now, even if Martin is technically free. It's fine by me, the two of them are a mighty attractive package.

I think the whole '80% of the premiership list is here' stuff was at the very least directionally true. It may not be spot on, but.... if the Suns were to use 30 players through the season next year, with seven being 'new' it probably seems about right. Granted, within that seven there'd need to...

What you're describing is cap management over a period of years (which every single club is actively doing). It's simply not a squeeze when Lukosius can stay right now if he wants to. But you're entitled to your own definitions if it makes you feel nice.

Not cap space, overpaid/underperforming player. Two very different things.

Don’t thinks it’s a salary cap squeeze like many suggested, rather an individual player not playing to the level of his contract. Different things

Nope, nothing in print, no media speculation. Just heard from a friend of a friend of Jake’s (not Josh). I still have them down there, so take or for what it’s worth - something or nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nope, because as is typical with you, you mention nothing about your own (very big) blind spot. And it's a doozy, because both Rachelle and Soligo are pissed at your club – the people that don't accept that are special. They may very well be at the club next year, but their long term future at...

That you're being as 'naive' as you accuse others of being. Granted, it would take some level of self-awareness to make that connection.

Similar to the Rachelle narrative coming from the Crows? I've heard that Josh (and also Jake) are particularly incensed at Josh's treatment from the club.

The club looks pretty bad right now though. Maybe worse than ever.

Haha, that’s me! And yet, I still can’t imagine he’d choose to go to a club with years of trash to come, when the one down the road could realistically get him a cup. #rozeeforthewin

I can’t imagine he goes anywhere but port. Forget all that romantic ‘supported the crows since he was kid’ BS. He’s played in a rubbish team for enough years, why choose to go to another rubbish team? And one that looks reasonably good odds to sack a coach sometime soon. Captain Pal Rozee must...

Trading Luko is fraught with danger IMO. He’s part of that group that (maybe) against all odds have bought in to the club culture. It would seem some key friendships have helped that. I’d much prefer see Dimma work with him for another year – one year is not a heap of time – and try to maximise...

Humphrey reminds me so much of Dangerfield early at Adelaide. Back before the Suns, when I had a thing for the Crows, it was super frustrating to see him pick up between 10-16 disposals and almost dominate games – right through his second, third and fourth seasons. He exploded the year after...

I don't get the Ballard negativity, he's been great for a number of years. He's having a down year, but anything could be happening behind closed doors – injury niggles, struggles adapting to mac's rapid ascension, personal problems etc. It's no culture at all to jump off of players so quickly...

Not so sure. Don't forget he tackled 15 times on the weekend, it might just balance out for him.

I think Swallow is unintentionally locking down the sub role for the foreseeable future

Wonder if Sam Day might have turned into a better player if he didn't have to weather 10+ years of subpar delivery into the forward line. Wouldn't be the only player we didn't develop properly, but he didn't look completely out of place yesterday when there was a better structure around forward...

You're a bit of a goose, do you want a high five or a hug? Or are you going to start apologising for any times you've been wrong? With Dew we were always going to give him an extended run and if/when that failed it HAD to be for a highly credentialed coach – one of which became available in 2022...

Whether or not Jack is happier in defence, I bet Hardwick is pretty happy with the idea the ball was used by him 22 times. And that he is also a risk of sneaking far enough forward to kick a goal or two makes him pretty useful to a coach. A lot of talk on here last year about letting players...

Berry 1.1

Anyone jumping off of Ben King now is just being silly. The guy spent the last few weeks of last season injured and just came into competitive training a couple weeks ago. Not good tonight, but geez!

Certainly, Hardwick would want very, very much to lure a big-ish name here. But I also imagine he'll discover exactly how difficult that has been historically for us, and how difficult it still is. If he does succeed in bringing some sort of impressive player up here, I'm sure we all...

It feels like gameday, the same people that get all catastrophic 3 minutes into the first quarter are already twitchy at Dimma's appointments.
