Chatting with my son interstate who is a typical Bombers supporter and I said I would make the following changes - some of which will be greeted with a howl. Cut - Hunter, Schache, Smith Retired - Brown Trade - May, Tomlinson, Hore, Neal-Bullen. May is the controversial one but I have watched...

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?

Sadly looks so much like a regular Suns game - 2 players attacking and 6+ watching. If Buckley is gone, Teague is under so much pressure and both teams are above the Suns, why is Dew still there? Past time to go and take Tippett and the other mates with him. Bring in a coach with a game plan...

Surely it time for Dew to go! I could give chapter and verse about who he has got to the Suns who he has let go, including getting his mates around him but the clearest indicator is Rowell. I think Rowell is probably one of the smartest and best players the Suns have got and at the start of the...

I am really wondering just how much difference Choc Williams has made. Watched when the team came back into the rooms and he hugged almost every player and was genuinely excited for each of them. He seems to have become part of the soul of the place.

I really do try and avoid reading and certainly watching anything that Barrett does but I saw his Sliding Doors on afl.com.au today and had to comment. He made the comment about Jacob Edwards being taken by the Roos and said "they should play him immediately, after their bye, against GWS. And...

Not sure that I agree with "hardly made a mistake all night." I thought it was a really impressive display that cut the heart out of the Dogs and never let them play their game. Salem after missing a game I thought was below his best but to win the way they dd without his steadiness was impressive.

The umpires making the right calls sounds like something new for season 2021 - perhaps it is worth giving it a try!

Obviously someone who takes the time to post: "LOL on que out of their holes crawl the pathetic, downhill skiing, bandwagon Melbourne supporters. Can't wait for that 90 point Preliminary Final loss" and ignore the content of the post!

Always shows character when you attack the poster rather than address the post. I grew up in Melbourne following the Dees well before the establishment of the Suns. I moved to Queensland and later I became an inaugural member of the Suns. That said it doesn't mean that the Dew decisions are...

I could not agree more with the comments about how well the Crows played and also with this being the third game where the result was changed by an appalling umpiring call.

Lyon continues to reinforce Dews judgement in getting rid of him for nothing. Plus another good game from Wright today - 13 kicks, 2 handballs, 10 marks and 3 goals. Watched the Suns game and no clear game plan, no passion, no clear coaching - if the Pies weren't going so badly surely Dew...

I see that coach Dew was saying today that the Suns would be going to the mid season draft looking for a tall forward and a ruckman. It seems that Peter Wright played his best game for Essendon on Anzac Day. Not best on ground but 16 disposals, 10 marks, 11 hit outs, 6 tackles, 8 score...

I cannot believe how poorly coached the GC are. Whatever Dew said at quarter time to change what they were doing in the first quarter I don't know. Then in the last quarter I lost count of how many time GC kept going down the line to where O'Brien was after GC lost Witts. Getting rid of 2 metre...

Liked - The whole Collingwood team and how they respected Treloar and sent the clear message that what the club had said about Treloar was not the players view. Hated - The ill informed flogs from alleged experts about how Collingwood should have been harder and more aggressive toward Treloar...

I was out and didn't get to watch the game until half time. When I did I wondered how the Dees had got to where they were at half time. I watched the first half later and was still puzzled by the whole game performance. Apart from Oliver I thought our mids had a day off. Was really surprised...
