No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XXX

TBH The Suns really do have some good youngsters and if they manage to keep them all they have the potential to be a really good team for years to come.

Feeder club

 

[_RT_]

It’s a viscious circle though, not sure a battling club has the time to rebuild in this traditional fashion. They’re so many pieces to building a successful club, mgmt off field, qty senior coach , qty leaders, qty list management . Sadly for nm they rate poorly in all of these areas . Good luck to them

They might be rated poorly in those areas, but it wasn't that long ago that we were rated poorly in those same areas, but we stuck to the plan and slowly but surely built into the club we've become today. As I said the key for North is to stick to the plan they've put in place and not get spooked or rushed into trying to take shortcuts to get their quicker.

Last draft was a solid start, they'll get another couple of top 20 kids in this years draft, including first pick at this stage. Don't need to do anything stupid like throwing big money at a marquee player, but get some solid role players in who can fit in with the kids they have and build from there. IMO if their fans can see there is a definite plan in place they'll stick by them.

Pleasant surprise this game. Bit of push and shove at qtr time. Better than the absolute sh*te lol Norf produced earlier.

lolnorf were only 6 points down at roughly the 10min mark of the 2nd quarter hahhahah and still managed to lose by 128

Somber thoughts for the crows.
Took the suns 10yrs to get where they're now.
Competitive.

 

[VB_longneck]

Nah we’re North’s grand final, they play crap against everyone else, then they play above their grade level against us.

if we play them at the G we will win by 250

if we play em at shitihad we will win by 25

 

[biaseddustyfan]

commentators act like collins is a top defender of the comp just coz he punched a wall after playing us last year

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Never change Norf. Was gonna skip footy today but glad I checked in.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Papenhpauzen has got 4 tries in 5 minutes for the storm, broncos were leading 6-0 and in the space of 5 minutes are 24-6 down

Not quite right on this journey , the first thing we got right was off field building the biz toward becoming a financial powerhouse , list management, coaching appointment and on field leadership was to follow . Has been a bloody long time since we were deficient in all areas

 

[k31th]

these two sides look pretty evenly matched

 

[Rayzorwire]

Markov surely must have a niggle to have the lowest TOG of any Sun.

the Tom Mitchell of defenders? I don't get his appeal. Get's a heap and butchers it or does some gutless dinky kick. Not a play maker.

is a very good player. Does all the hard 1% percentagers. Could easily have left the Crows but stayed. Good clubman.

 

[The Mighty]

Good outcome of this game is that Dogs are going to be officially anointed favourites for the premiership. Hopefully media hype and focus will go on them and we will fly under the radar

Yep Doggies, Port and Geesook can carry the media favoritism for the year and thats fine by me.

 

[The Mighty]

Is Rory Laird the Tom Mitchell of defenders? I don't get his appeal. Get's a heap and butchers it or does some gutless dinky kick. Not a play maker.

He's like the Crows answer to Lord Dark Helmet at the Dogs .........

 

[SunshineBoy]

what a pair of legs

 

[Downtown06]

Rory Sloane is a very good player. Does all the hard 1% percentagers. Could easily have left the Crows but stayed. Good clubman.

Loved him in the doco as well... seems like that doco did wanders for Adelaide but not for the giants

 

[k31th]

what a pair of legs

no surprises there's a good set of pins out

 

[VB_longneck]

is tony mguiness playing ?

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

["The Roar Is Back"]

is tony mguiness playing ?

ump - "if you exaggerate it makes it very hard for us to make a decision"

doesn't stop you maggots giving duckwood free after free after free after free after free after free

 

[Tiges1229]

if we play them at the G we will win by 250

if we play em at shitihad we will win by 25

remember when Norf fans said they were having a reset lol Fmd more like a nuclear bomb set

 

[k31th]

fold coast back in front :O

 

[TigerTime88]

after watching the Amazon doco. Future coach in waiting. Would compare him to Lenny Hayes as a player, just in a poor team most of his career outside of 2017.
