I almost tried to fight them 15k on 1 in the bus line
Would have put up more of a fight than Tsitas
The club incidence of ACL injuries in the AFL has been consistent over the past decade with just under one (0.8) injury per club per season.
Not shocked really, Gutless of them.I had one try to fight me near the bus line - had his wife and two kids (under 10)with him to.
Backed up pretty quick when I said let’s go, haha

Playing 2 debutantes really surprised me.Still fuming we let that slip.
Unfortunately though I think we lost that one before the ball was bounced.
Massive Saturday night game, finals on the line, and Dew brings in two debutants who were not banging the door down in the VFL and who he clearly didn’t trust? We were essentially playing two down on the bench from the start.
Once again we got carved up on the outside because we are cramming midfielders on the wing who can’t hold their width and get sucked in at all times. Lost count of the amount of times Josh Daicos was just chilling out there with no one within 10m of him.
Our forwards let the ball out of the forward line far too easy.
And we desperately need Thompson back (which is a concern given he is made of glass). The defence is just at sea with Graham in his place.
Anyway, rant over.
Rankine is nearing Harley as the most exciting player I have watched play for the Suns.
Agree - I thought before the game we only needed two 'mossies' in the fleet and that would be Rosas and Rankine. Made no sense then and makes even less sense now. Poor selection helped lose this one - which we could have and should have won. Sharp, Corbett, Hollands, Constable, Burgess - even Sexton - all would have been better picks. Tsitas not given any significant on ground time also made no sense - why bring in an untried player and then sit him on the pine.I fear you’re dead on here I’ve liked everything I’ve seen on him from the twos in the last two years and weird selection considering we have both ranks and rosas in
I’m fearing a bad not up to this level game but we have been pretty next man up this year so hopefully he gives it a good crack
Sharp & Holland’s stiff to not get this nod
Totally agree. I forgot in my last post to highlight again how 'panicked' Collins is when Caleb's down back. Rory Thompson had to come in but again Dew makes the wrong call. Graham should not be in next week's team - along with a number of others. If he's so keen on 'tsting' new guys in important games - let's see what Hollands, Constable, Sharp and a guy called Lukosius can deliver. I'm stunned that Jack wasn't called up when they replaced Burgess. Poor coaching....Still fuming we let that slip.

After being out a month plus on a wet ground that in two games have taken about 4 limbs from players?Totally agree.

...and yet he's playing today on a wet ground with probably a lesser safe condition?After being out a month plus on a wet ground that in two games have taken about 4 limbs from players?
Not a ******* chance
I love your positivity. For a few weeks there I felt the same, but this latest spate of serious injuries has potentially put us back a significant number of steps. The injuries to 5-6 of our best 22 have shown that our depth isn’t yet good enough to cover those losses. With our best team in we are a potential top8 team. Lose players of the calibre we recently have and we’re nothing more than a mid-table side. Some of our back ups haven’t shown anything yet to suggest they’re up to it. The recruiting team still has some serious work to do. It’s not like we’re getting players like Weller and Buddhas back anytime soon. Who knows how King, Powell etc. will come back. Rory T. is our only other decent KPD and his body is unreliable. We need more speed and depth in the mids.It sucks caring so much we have lots to look forward to though. We are on the up and are looking the best we have in our short history, next year is go time.
They clearly wanted to go small and high pressure in the forward line.Playing 2 debutantes really surprised me.
I would be filthy if I were Constable or Hollands.
If Thompson was anywhere near fit he should have played for structure.
If Tsitas doesn't get dropped you know the selection committee has lost the plot.
As a neutral I thought you guys were robbed and I feel for you. At the 1:33 marks of the last qtr no 33 from Collingwood did a classic slide and moments before that he took the tackler on at half back and dropped it and it was called play on. Either the umps are blatant cheats or they are grossly incompetent with a strong vic bias.Bad luck that was a text book rigging - the goal they kicked to win the game was free free mark kick goal without GC touching the ball. Then with a couple minutes to go there should have been a free at half forward for contact below the knees then Collingwood get a free and they spend another couple minutes forward.
Saying that if you kicked straighter you win.
You should have won last week too but for a couple individual acts by our players, and a few terrible errors from yours, the result would have been differ
In fact they should use that bit of vision to explain what the rule is and what you shouldn't do, because it was a classic leg breaking slide.As a neutral I thought you guys were robbed and I feel for you.

Sliding rule explained
the commentators are visibly scared of criticizing the umps under any circumstances. the afl directive to commentators is 'if you dare criticize the umpires then you will never commentate afl again'.In fact they should use that bit of vision to explain what the rule is and what you shouldn't do, because it was a classic leg breaking slide.
The commentators went quiet around then as well and made no mention of it.
