Gold Coast - Have they turned the corner?

[NetworkNerd]

Big win today.... At home

Can all be undone next week if they lose to North... away

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Yes, yes they have. The old Suns would have wilted in the face of that comeback.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Insane amount of talent on their list, if its all developed well they should be a force in the next few years.

 

[NetworkNerd]

If they can beat West Coast and Richmond away and not lose at home.. that will put them on 13 wins and possibly 7th-8th spot.

But their next 3 home games are against good opposition so not certain wins.

Suns haven't beaten Port since McKenna was coaching against Primus at Football Park, back when the tarps were out in force.
Would be a statement if they broke that hoodoo next week, especially with Day and Miller out.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Not so much turning a corner, more working their way through a maze.

Gold Coast play like Geelong 2007/2008 at home... Up until now that is.....

Looks like Dimma has found the formula for winning away.

Has the AFL community mistakenly forgotten about the Suns?

They look like they are up a level in fitness but need to see against better opponents.

 

[RUNVS]

Well they are better than West Coast at the very least.

 

[Billy ray]

Lets not start pumping ourselves up quite yet

Seem to start well most years.

Doesn’t really count

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Melbourne in two weeks will be a good test. I'm not expecting them to win that game but I'd like to see them be competitive.

Three away wins in a row now:

Def. Essendon @ Marvel by 1 point
Def. Richmond @ MCG by 28 points
Def. West Coast @ Optus by 87 points (club record)

I want to see how we go against the Dees at the MCG in a fortnight from now before I start to really buy into the idea of turning the corner.

 

[kreglze]

Dees at the G will be a big test. Actually having competent half backs now is big for us. Love Secco but he was never the answer back there.

 

[Osho]

We need more evidence. The Eagles were atrocious.

 

[Fire]

Has the AFL community mistakenly forgotten about the Suns?

No not forgotten, just not bothered. They have never made the finals or really ever come close, despite some false starts. Its up to them to capture everyone's attention now.

 

[Freomaniac]

Take any away win you can get. LoL

I would take any away win my team gets lol

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Yeah

 

[RUNVS]

I don't think they are in flag contention yet, but I think they will be comfortably between 3rd and 6th this year.

 

[kickazz]

They look good, but often start years well. Check in at half way through the season

Did what good sides do to lowly teams in rounds 1 & 2, first big test against a rapidly improving and similarly placed Adelaide. Even if the result went against them they won plenty of admirers.

Kangaros (gather round, Adelaide), Tigers (Marvel) should btake care of business with Swans (home) in round 7 and Lions (away) in round 8 the real proving grounds for these not so young suns
