Digging into the why
One thing I enjoyed was Dwayne letting us know multiple times that the Sun's could make history by winning 11 whole games.

Maybe the club should be worried about its direction and he is playing the same game as Trac.
Pretty standard lineSeems fair enough.
Imagine the mad Monday having missed their finals aspirations but won 11 games.One thing I enjoyed was Dwayne letting us know multiple times that the Sun's could make history by winning 11 whole games.
I can’t even tell whether Derm says anything sensible anymore - who knows? Maybe he does? - but I have to get up and calmly leave the room every time he uses his “explaining voice”.It will be a good day when Dwayne Russell and Derm hang up the mic’s. Listening to them both during the same game is torture.
He’ll roll out his advice for key forwards every call and his value goes backwards from there. Another past player that doesn’t keep up or understand the interpretation of the rules which helps no one.I can’t even tell whether Derm says anything sensible anymore - who knows? Maybe he does? - but I have to get up and calmly leave the room every time he uses his “explaining voice”.
Today I missed the greater portion of the game for that reason. The explaining voice was in full glory
Absolutely terrible. Both are fn hopeless. Derm in particular gets so much wrong now.It will be a good day when Dwayne Russell and Derm hang up the mic’s. Listening to them both during the same game is torture.
I suggest watching the second half. 1st quarter was not AFL standard for sure.Alright finally home, hope you were all nice to Dancing Potato while I was gone.
It's clear now that our inability to score coincides with me watching games
Question for the learned scholars – is it a full replay worthy game, full second half, or Kayo Mini?
If anyone has ever doubted the existence of mansplaining, they just need to listen to Dermie.I can’t even tell whether Derm says anything sensible anymore - who knows? Maybe he does? - but I have to get up and calmly leave the room every time he uses his “explaining voice”.

He started carrying on about some famous artist at one point when Turner kicked a goal.If anyone has ever doubted the existence of mansplaining, they just need to listen to Dermie.
He has these moments where he starts speaking in those slow, fragmented sentences as though he assumes everyone is hanging off is every word in awe.
Depends on how much time you have on your hands really. We looked good in the second half but likewise the Suns looked dreadful. And that of course could have been because we made them look dreadful, but it was hard to tell. For a supporter it just had a dead rubber feel to it.Alright finally home, hope you were all nice to Dancing Potato while I was gone.

Ended up watching the first half highlights, then the full second half. Agree that Viney was immense, Langdon and Turner good too. Midfield looked much better (less predictable without Oliver, though Gold Coast were hot garbage too, so hard to read too much into it).Depends on how much time you have on your hands really.

On second thoughts, definitely watch the lot. Viney played an incredible game and there’s a decent chance it’s the second last time we get to see him in red and blue.
I liked Jared rivers being randomly evoked. I liked Rivers.Ended up watching the first half highlights, then the full second half. Agree that Viney was immense, Langdon and Turner good too.

Was a somewhat odd post-game interview from Viney, did enjoy him referring to 'Jared Rivers' though.
Personally got the sense that he's been told to straight bat the questions by his manager. Reckon the North offer is just going to be leverage to extend his contract with us.I liked Jared rivers being randomly evoked. I liked Rivers.
The post game interview made me think Viney plans to ask for a trade - I can’t think of another reason for his being uncharacteristically cryptic.
Yeah, I've been more in the camp of expecting him to stay, but that was hardly convincing. It read (to me at least) that he's going to request a trade if we don't come to the table with a nice extension offer (which he probably expects us to do).I liked Jared rivers being randomly evoked.

Yes this is possible. Viney is no Max Gawn with the media so any of those direct questions are going to draw something pretty clunky.Personally got the sense that he's been told to straight bat the questions by his manager.

Can't in all honesty say that I hope he leaves, but I also hope we don't get spooked into extending him for multiple years on big money. Was awesome today, but is still nearing the end of his effectiveness as a full-time mid at AFL level, imo.
Yep. I hate the idea of him in another jumper but he is nearly 31 with a body under midfield punishment for a long time now, and he doesn’t have the versatility to play out the back end of his career in a different role.Yeah, I've been more in the camp of expecting him to stay, but that was hardly convincing.
