I think it's safe to say I did not believe in either the Crows or Dockers causing upsets!
Almost time to retract my comment - see how we go Monday |

This.
It has been a problem for a very long time but has been especially bad in the past few years. We desperately need a forward line coach that can develop and implement structures like JL did for our back line. Until this happens we will be at the mercy of luck on the day.

Need to win at all cost
Play the best team available
Remember Clinton Young in 2014
"Clinton Young missed a golden chance to put the Magpies in front late when he dropped a simple chest mark 30 metres out with just two minutes left to play."
The Suns played most of the final quarter with no-one on the bench but held on for a gutsy 11.14 (80) to 10.15 (75) victory in front of a Metricon Stadium record crowd of 24,032

| We don't need a forward line coach. We need a forward line unless the forward line coach wants to don a pair of football shoes and help out the team. |

Yes, I remembered this at the moment Mihocek did the same thing against Brisbane, with the same result. |

Fair to say many didn't but we would likely still have been in 8th and in control of our destiny, unless Melbourne belted Freo by, say, 55 points

Weird that Gold Coast still have one game to go until they play us, whereas the Brisbane match already feels like ancient history. I guess we can't really complain about recovery time this time around.

We have a 10 day break and they have 5, so no

| As much as percentage is irrelevant, I would love for us to win a game playing decent footy with a confidence boosting win. |

We haven't had a nice 8-10 goal win in ages. Would love to see a massive goal-fest just to get our team up to scratch again.

I think 2019 is a better indicator of their potential, not sure I would use 2020 as a yardstick of anything
Durability is also a factor which is why I ranked the players by output not averages. It's no good averaging 5 goals a game if you miss half the season (Joe Daniher says Hi) |
I'll also add that Checkers does one thing better than most of the others - he makes the people around him better.
He's been gold for us.

I'm watching the Suns play the Lions tonight. If we can't beat this rabble we don't deserve to be in the finals. They're awful.

Absolutely. Just pathetic. I'm amazed Brisbane aren't beating them by more, because Gold Coast have been Adelaide-like (as they were before last fortnight, at any rate).
