Brock and Blues go down to Suns

Featured Replies

I thought Judd had changed the culture all on his own?

Brock-you drank too much of your own bathwater son.

The flag favourites are gone.

Time to raid their stocks .

Thats right one the good thing to come from Teams like Coll,Ess,Carl losing is that they will need to make list changes end of year.

So more mids on the market for us.

 

But, i thought the Blues were going to "be dangerous" in the finals.....bahahhahahah

 

Hope the new coach cleans out the recruiting department.


carlton have called a presser for 11am tommorow i wonder what 4

that can only mean one thing i reckon (ala pt adelaide ? )

Where are all the "Judd is a great leader" threads now?? Judd is a mercenary (but a good footballer) that cars about Judd and Judd only.

Oversaw a drug fuelled regime at West COke, had a 17yo Levi Casaboult tiled to him on the end of year cruise and git so sick had to call his Dad to collect him, Watched but did nothing as an alcohol fuelled Fevola went on a rampage at the Brownlow..

And who could forget Rd 22, 2007. Third wooden spoon in a row, third number 1 draft pick in a row....for what??

Ha ha ha ha ha h ah ah ah ahah aha ha ah ahaha ah

I love it,

 

I have to admit last evening was one of the best I can recall for a long time. While all you Southern folk had to be content with enjoying last night's demise from your couches, I had the distinct honour and pleasure of witnessing the event first-hand from the Stand at Metricon Stadium.

When a group of us gathered at Emerald Lakes for a pleasant pre-game meal, we had no inkling of what was to unfurl once we had strolled across the road to the ground.

First goal to the Suns. The locals were happy.

Second goal to the Suns. The locals were very happy.

Third goal to the Suns. The locals were looking at each other with quizzical looks.

Fourth goal to the Suns. The smiles were getting bigger.

Fifth goal to the Suns. The locals could get used to this!

Sixth (unanswered) goal. The natives were getting restless. Could the blue-baggers be kept to a goal-less Quarter? Alas, not to be.

Quarter time. A few minutes to take in what had just happened. It was great. SIX goals to 2!! But, surely it couldn't continue! Could it..??

Second Quarter. The Blues came out breathing fire. A quick goal, and the locals were starting to twitch a little in their seats.

BUT, then the Suns fought back. Another FIVE goals to one!!

Half time was a very happy time for the long-suffering locals. ELEVEN goals to just four!! WE could only imagine what was going on in the Carlton rooms. Would have loved to have witnessed it!

Sure enough, the third quarter came, and the Blues started to look like maybe they oughta do something about resurrecting their season. As the quarter wore on, the locals became more and more nervous.

Three Quarter time, and just 12 points in it. Not looking good. The delerium of the locals was starting to fade. The large percentage of the crown who were blue-bagger supporters had found their voice. Not pretty!

So, the final quarter began with trepidation in the camp. Was there ANY hope of the young Suns, missing a heap of their best players from the line-up, possibly stemming the tide and hold off a rampant Carlton team who's season (and their coaches job) were clearly on the line. Just a 12 point margin, and a full quarter to go. Oh Dear! Could we bear to watch. Was carnage about to be unleashed on our poor, local heroes? Should we leave now, and spare ourselves the humiliation of daring to believe the impossible? Was there ANY hope of the Suns getting their second ever home victory? Dared we to dream?

The final quarter was great! The Suns stuck to their task, as the arm wrestle ensued. No matter what Carlton tried, the Suns managed to stick with them.

Late in the quarter. 28 minutes on the clock. Still a 2 goal ball game. The ball was deep inside Carlton's forward line. All the quarters had been long -- around 30 minutes. Still possibly a couple of minutes to go. Plenty of time for Carlton, if they were good enough.

Then, the siren sounded, long and loud. (Is there any better sound in the world, when your team has its nose in front...??)

Euphoria swept the stands!

The Suns had done themselves proud! They had stuck at it for 4 quarters, and reaped the rewards.

And, Carlton? Ah, how sweet it was to see that dejected mob remove themselves from the Arena! Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch!

And, then, I began to dream. If the Suns could do it against a team who HAD to win to make the finals, maybe, just MAYBE my beloved Dees could also do it against the Crows. Do it for Greeny.

Then, on our way out of the ground, we heard still more sweet news. The Pies had been devoured by some hungry Eagles out West!

Sometimes, footy is a VERY nice game!

Bring on the Crows. I'm excited!!

They will say" The coach has the full support of the Board"

And we all know what that means!!


In all this its discussed as though the Blues lost it.. Lets give some credit here the SUns WON it !! and good for them. I see GC as soirt of legitimate. Whereas I see GWS as an abomination and a vessel of all things wrong

p.s I hate carlton though

have a soft spot for gold coast unlike gws.. but well done to them and good to see matty warnock doing well aswell!

well done suns

Its not like the Suns had their best team in either, had a lot of the good players missing last night.....

Two goals to their main 2 forwards from how many shots??....Cloke and Malthouse to the boos for sure....


Where are all the "Judd is a great leader" threads now?? Judd is a mercenary (but a good footballer) that cars about Judd and Judd only.

Ha ha ha ha ha h ah ah ah ahah aha ha ah ahaha ah

I love it,

Not that we like to take pleasure in the misfortunes of others........

much.

I think you might find The Suns stopped tanking, just as long as they can't pass us on the ladder.

I was refering to Carlton...

Where is Dr Who when you really really need him?

Yes-he was like a meteor wasn't he. Burning up across the sky and bringing light to the world.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
