Review Round 8 vs Sydney, SCG, Saturday 7th May, 1:45pm AEST

[thewizardmelon]

I know most here appear to be a super negative and pessimistic bunch, but I’ve got a good feeling about this side.

Today was a really strong team performance - Swallow, Izak, Witts, Ballard all excellent. Even as frustrating as they were, players like Chol were still instrumental.

GO SUNS!

 

[thewizardmelon]

Witts was enormous. Absolutely enormous.

Great to get the win with Touk getting tagged so heavily out of it. Anderson missing as well.

At least our defence got a work-out in the last five minutes. Might help them get some form back. Rory's influence really enabled Ballard to float and do his thing. Budarick & Farrar also great stand-outs.

Ballard had one of his best games I’ve seen. Budders was great too, slotted back in well.

Buddas rust is gone

Gee Levi had a quiet game but huge in the last few minutes. Great win Suns .

Having Thompson in the team made me really nervous, but my god how good does Ballard look when he’s freed up

I thought budders was really good today.
Farrah was great. Really thought the backline turned it around from last week..

 

[Scotty_222]

Also, can we play in the blue jerseys more offer?

was great today, Fararr has good awareness ( not a strong trait at our club) and Ben followed up his recent good form

Weller is a frustrating player as is Fiorini. Dumb errors just kill us.

Had a laugh at that Big Red Machine

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Nice result

The game plan looked good because Sydney were super lazy and missed all their corridor kicks

Now if we can get a surprise result against freo

I’m confident we can take down dogs in those scrappy conditions if they don’t have any key backs

Hawks and north in NT …. Surely

That was the plan, so glad it came up good

 

[KingCoasters]

Unfortunately, Davies is just a long way off right now. Needs to go back to the twos and work on his disposal

Hopefully a straight swap with constable

Constable v brodie next week

 

[Jirik13]

Love constant sh**ting on team, coach and players after every mistake during the game by most people here and then we beat a team on their home ground which some commentators have as one of flag favourites.


Most players delivered today unlike previous games where we had too many passengers. Farrar had some unbelievable moments in the last quarter. Budarick is back. Witts is a warrior. Rankine in VFL - haha.

Thompson survived!

Enjoy the win.

Jack Bowes maybe?

Yep can’t win either way

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Jack Bowes maybe?

Probably a Luko swap

 

[RowellAnderson12]

lmao my sydney mate texting me saying "suns will win, we are shit"

cmon mate don't give me hope

Ended up being right

 

[Iva Bigun]

Funny to see SUNS banging the drum on TV after the siren, was also good to see the boys go over and thank the supporters

 

[eighties]

Farrar was epic!!

 

[Jirik13]

Farrar was epic!!

Yeah, he was unbelievable in the last quarter. Some players really stepped up when the game was on the line in crucial moments. We absolutely dominated the last quarter despite struggling to score.

 

[Borough Blood]

What does feel like being able to pencil in a W every time you see “Sat 1.45pm SCG” in the fixture? FFS.

Well played.

 

[Party Gull]

Couldn't watch the game but was watching the scores. Nice work Suns! Will have to watch the replay.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Budarick really showed his wares today.
For a guy that’s only 175cm he gets out worked against bigger players (ie that will Hayward

But he did a pretty good job intercepting and giving some run from the back.

Happy for him as I thought he was really poor last week and was really wondering if he was too small to play against anyone but the smallest of small forwards.
