Essentially we've got one Suns fan saying they've seen improvements this preseason when compared to last year and would like to discuss it, then we've got several other Suns fans saying the observations aren't worth considering so stfu. I've never understood why people come onto a forum just to state that they don't want to discuss whatever topic it is that someone else wants to discuss. It's baffling.I don't think you're being "shot down"........he/she just has a different opinion to your own....and fwiw, I don't think it means a helluva lot either...but I like your positivity on all things Suns...
We all know there's a difference between preseason matches and regular season matches but that doesn't mean preseason observations are worthless. We now have evidence to legitimately discuss Luko's potential as a key forward, Rory's potential comeback, the midfield potential of Rowell/Anderson/Miller with Witts in the ruck and that's just a few topics that we could discuss from the preseason.
I think the majority of footy fans are pessimists by nature which makes it tough for people like The Victorian and myself because we come on here to lift spirits and try to discuss positives but are just met with negativity more often than not. Sure, some people will look at a post like The Victorian's above where he stated that he is expecting finals for us this season and will be ready to shoot it down as unrealistic but the alternative approach is very negative IMO. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting we should fall into the trap of putting too much emphasis on preseason results and becoming 'March Premiers' in our own minds but there is still merit in discussing what we've seen over the last two weeks.
We're not a bad side and we do have elite talent that is capable of achieving great things. Maybe we can discuss it every now and again...
