I think the front on contact or arm hold in the initial marking contest were worse.

Suns have had so much dominance in their half, but their delivery I50 is dog shit.
St Kilda haven't actually been that bad this year, they've just done a reverse Port by losing the close ones. Lost 6 games by under 2 goals, whilst winning only 3. Hopefully they can catch the lions by surprise at Marvel.
I think you're right. Minimal top end. It's really just Merrett and 1/10 games Stringer actually tries in. So many beige 100 game journeymen that keep them competitive but are zero chance of winning anything.
They really need to rebuild properly.
It's fine as long as we show up too.
Just fold Gold Coast

Only one thing for it, overtake Brisbanes % to get into top 2
Useless GC. I had to turn the match off it was so infuriating watching them butcher so many forward entries and shots. With a sprinkle of dodgy pro-Brisbane umpiring to go with it. I bet GC lose away to WC and Richmond and finish below the Pies.

Lol **** off Gold Coast letting Brisbane increase their percentage. Anyone know how much we need to beat WCE by to overtake them?
Their percentage is bottom 4 and I think tells a true story. I would say you got it pretty close.
around 70 points...I think....

Brisbane had no backline....And the Suns still couldn't get it done. Absolutely disgraceful.
Their percentage has been rubbish all year tbh. I don't think that always tells the whole story though. I'd less want to play Hawthorn than probably 7-8 teams that have a better percentage tbh.

Brisbane will probably make another GF or at least get pretty close. Not too sure why people expected a different result.

Yeah not saying the Lions aren't good but given their outs the Suns shouldn't have been blown away.
Just poor. Their players aren't right between the ears.

St. Kilda may knock them off mind you...
Suns and Bombers both have massive demons between ears.
It will be interesting to see how long/if Dimma has what it takes to get an interstate side going. I reckon he might have underestimated the job he took between the travel and the culture of failure.
The silver spoon doesn't help them when the going gets tough.
Agree it's mainly mental. Everything they've achieved (i.e. not much) has been gift wrapped and they still aren't as good as teams that are fully at the mercy of the draft system.
Most Victorian clubs are pathetic in that regard when playing non-Victorian opposition tbh.
It's almost like they think their team has a bye unless playing a team from the same city. If any non-Victorian teams' supporters had the same attitude they'd fold within a season yet Victorian fans some the nerve to call Freo and Port "minnows" when they average 40+ thousand at each game and have one home derby all year. Absolute hypocrites.
