your dead rightI agree he’s a really good player but his tackling sucks and I just can’t have the club leader being poor at it.
I’ll never stop harping on about tackling. When I visually see us sticking tackles I know we are on that day and will beat our opposition.
It’s my personal KPI.
A constant frustration for Suns fans and footy pundits this year was Gold Coast’s inefficiency forward of centre. They ranked last in the competition for kick inside 50 retention percentage, while they were also bottom three for scores per inside 50 percentage and forward 50 groundball differential.
Hi everyone, I come in peace. I honestly want the Suns to succeed so that the game grows in Queensland.What they need
Some class with ball in-hand. The Suns didn’t have one player inside the top 40 rated kicks (based on kick rating) across the competition.
Hi everyone, I come in peace. I honestly want the Suns to succeed so that the game grows in Queensland.
Relating to the quotes above, it struck me, isn't this something Lukosius could provide? He's supposed to be an excellent field kick. I imagine there's a reason why Hardwick isn't putting him on the wing to deliver the ball inside 50?
Yeah, high half forward/wing like last year when he played well. Some people say he does not have a tank for it but I am not convinced that's correct.Hi everyone, I come in peace. I honestly want the Suns to succeed so that the game grows in Queensland.

Fingers crossed both Noah and Collo get the recognition they deserve come Thursday night. Both are worthy of the blazer.Noah Anderson

The Suns’ contested bull is the top-ranked player in the AFL Player Ratings not in the squad - and he’s not exactly low, sitting 11th overall!
In that all-encompassing metric Rowell sits ahead of midfielders like Hayden Young, Adam TreloarPLAYERCARDSTART26Hayden Young

The former No.1 pick was third in the AFL for contested possessions (322), fifth for clearances (163) and No.1 for pressure acts (30.7 per game). But it’s perhaps his lack of versatility that cost him, with Rowell a dominant contested player but not shining so brightly away from the hustle and bustle.
Sam Flanders
What a breakout season this Suns star had.
Sam Flanders is the number three ranked medium defender in the AFL Playing Ratings this season, ahead of the likes of Dan Houston, Max Holmes, Bailey DalePLAYERCARDSTART5Dan Houston

Flanders averaged 30.9 disposals this season – ranked equal second in the competition – and was a key architect for Damien Hardwick’s Gold Coast side this year.
Often you don't see guys get accolades until the year following a great season.I thought Noah had a better year last year.
Good to see his floor is the AA squad
He’ll poll well in the Brownlow, all home games
changes the whole complexion of our team AND ability to implement a fast attacking rebounding game plan, neither of those two will be happy kicking it long down the line, they both always look to take the game onNoble and Rioli will really boost our HB run.
Move Weller permanently to a Wing.
