I did love Graham taking two bounces. The third pushed it, but gotta admire his will to break tackles and try and do something. Same can be said for Rowell. Sometimes it just doesn’t come off, but can’t deny the will to lift the team.Rowell has been incredible that last 2 weeks, back to his early season form. You have to think he was playing sore there for a while.
I love mac Andrew down back but 7 goal in his first 2 games forward is this permanent now? Scary to think that he has so much improvement to come.
Will Graham is going to be a star of the comp, tough, quick, clean.
Be patient with walter there is star qualities there, 2 goals 7 touches 47% game time isn't a bad return, was just starting to feel it before getting subbed off.
Some lesser likes stood up, budarick and holman were good and lemmens shut out Gresham and put his body on the line a few times.
The timing is right for a mac Andrew contract extension.
Is there room for 3 though?Budarick played last nightLemmens was good enough I feel to hold his place as a lockdown defender. But Uwland has gone past him by a long way. Still, maybe there is room for two actual small defenders on our team? Didn’t seem to hurt our rebound too much for most of the night.
I don’t think Budders is a lockdown, but maybe he is. And yeah, probably. Lemmens isn’t afraid to put his body on the line, same with Uwland.Is there room for 3 though?Budarick played last night
quick points
Mac pushing the bombers player with 2mins left and seeing King run over and pull him away showed great leadership and want to win, turning point as a club imo.
better team with Budarick in it. Have and always will say it, maybe swapping time on the wing with a weller/powell/davies next year i like it a lot.
Davies is a gun, just play him. kid could be anything with 20 games into him.
Also LOL at the bombers fan who mentioned andrews was a spud hahaha!
Although l understand what he's saying re Lukocious l disagree with that. So does everyone else out of form get a 'circuit breaker' weekend off.Well spoken from Dimma. Like how he explained it. Only knock is Dimma cost us a potential vfl top 4 and avoiding the wildcard game ahah (especially since we played one short anyway)
But I’ll take a Mac win after the siren as payoff
We beat Carlton in 2012Does anyone know if we've ever won a round 22 game?
I have never thought Lemmens is of AFL quality he just doesn't understand the game or read the play and instead just bashes and crashes Pretty sure that would have been his last AFL game for usI did love Graham taking two bounces. The third pushed it, but gotta admire his will to break tackles and try and do something. Same can be said for Rowell. Sometimes it just doesn’t come off, but can’t deny the will to lift the team.

Budders was back to his cool, composed self with great disposalquick points

This is a good point. Especially as most of the key players in the team are young. The midfield of Rowell, Ando, and Ned going up against more experienced players most weeks is significant. Can't live on potential forever I know but there is still a lot to come from these guys.It won't get spoken about much, but the team that broke the away curse tonight was ridiculously young. The 14 Suns players aged 24 or younger tonight - Ben King (24), Will Powell (24), Matt Rowell (23), Noah Anderson (23), Sam Flanders (23), Connor Budarick (23), Aled Davies (22), Bodhi Uwland (21), Sam Clohesy (21), Mac Andrew (20), Bailey Humphrey (19), Jed Walter (19), Will Graham (19) & Jake Rogers (19).
Also, Dimma has officially broken his Marvel coaching curse now. Massive.
Although l understand what he's saying re Lukocious l disagree with that. So does everyone else out of form get a 'circuit breaker' weekend off.
The best circuit breaker for him would have been to lace up at Windy Hill in front of 500 people, get roughed up by some plumbers and PE teachers and work through his issues IMO.

Concur......only watched the 2nd half but thought Long did some good things too.Rowell has been incredible that last 2 weeks, back to his early season form. You have to think he was playing sore there for a while.

In fairness they do know a lot about spuds.Also LOL at the bombers fan who mentioned andrews was a spud hahaha!
No current season stats available
i thought you were a bombers supporter with that DPStill on a bit of a high from that kick last night, which is incredible considering the state of despair I was in this time yesterday for our season.
Obviously Mac will be elite anywhere on the ground, but I don’t think you can move him out of the second ruck/kpf role now. 7 goals in 6 quarters with almost 0 forwardcraft, the sky is the limit.
Also really enjoying the growth of King around the ground. Really starting to get up the ground and clunk a few and get involved while using his wheels and footskills to burn his opponent. If he can keep doing that while kicking 3 goals, we are in a real good position.
Best I’ve seen Matty Rowell move in some time, although Essendon’s contested pressure is as bad as ours. Loved seeing him burst away from stoppages, he seemed as shocked as anyone with how much space he had (that bounce). Davies also cracking in seemed to give him a bit more freedoms to get outside.
Ben Long is possibly our most improved player even with the improvement of Bob and Mac. Some of his marking at half-forward made us at least 3 goals better off. To me, he is playing the role we want and expect of Luko as almost a third tall target and link up player, with the added bonus of elite pressure and bone-rattling tackles.
And finally, he didn’t get much of it, but I think there will be a spot for Jakey Rogers as we continue to work on our forward entries. Had a real almost game with a few fumbles, but needs the experience. That play where he had King standing in the square calling for it on his head while Jake was waiting for him to lead at him into the paddock in the pocket was an example of where we can improve. Forwards have to identify that when he gets it in those spots, they have to get on their bike to use the space and trust he will him them on the chest. Same as Luko when/if he comes back.
