What year will the Suns play finals?

[Dazb86]

The Suns officially started in 2011 and haven't had the best run of it since then with bad coach choices, bad captain choices, bad code swapping player choices and just all round a pretty terribly run club. The giants have shown them the blueprint of how to run a successful start up club and the Lions have shown them how to be successful in Queensland.

What year do you think they will finally crack the top 8?

I've said this every year since 2021, but this year

 

[5 Bucks]

Brisbane
Geelong
Carlton
GWS
Melbourne
Sydney
Hawthorn
Collingwood

Fremantle
Bulldogs
Port
Crom

All better than GC so it would be a miracle if they made finals in 2025

GC will play finals this year.

Got a feeling Dimma is going to work his magic in 2025 and take the club to its first finals appearance now that he's started to mould the list the way he wants it, as opposed to inheriting a list 12 months ago that he didn't have enough time/information to shape. An example is getting rid of Lukosius because he presumably didn't think he suited his game style and bringing in Rioli who he knows does suit his game style.

You could already see signs of what's to come last year when the home record improved dramatically and had it not been for a mental crux on the road as well as being committed to playing the kids (e.g. continually selecting an underperforming 18yo Walter over a decently performing Day/Casboult), then Dimma very likely would have taken the club to the finals in his first season as coach.

Having said that, I have been fooled before so I'll never be super confident until it happens.
