The Suns are a pointless ego trip for AFL HQ. Never played finals, can't keep players, losing culture, no supporters. The outlook is grim. The NRL struggle to keep the titans viable so what makes the AFL think they can make a go of the Suns.

This ends in one of two ways. The Tasmanian Suns or disbandment

Logical choices Better days but I doubt it will happen. The AFL have poured so much $$ into them already, I doubt they could stand the loss of face in capitulating and admitting a huge failure.

Imagine if all that money had been pumped into Tasmanian footy in the first place  !

    I have a bit of a man crush on Touk Miller. He has an all round game. Never stops running, tackles all day and no one breaks his tackles and his disposal and decision making is first class. I’d love him in the red and blue

    The name the Tasmanian Suns would be so ironic it could only happen in Tasmania.

    I like it.

    Port Adelaide true to form smashing up on a weak side. Flat track bullies. And Suns are playing badly enough to be a danger game for us when we meet.

    Agree. An under rated player for sure

    I hope we're putting in the ground work with Ben King's manager as well.

    Everything that can be tried has been tried. Draft picks and coaches have come and gone. Can’t keep throwing good money after bad. I reckon once the current HQ administration are gone the decision will be made.

    gold coast has long been a graveyard for professional sports clubs

    Exactly. I've been up here since 91 (ex Vic) and not one sporting club has survived for any decent length of time. It's such a transient community on GC with many ex Vics but support their own teams and not many actual Qld GC supporters. I've been at Metricom a few times and it feels like a local game of footy where you could park your car by the fence if allowed. They are doomed.

    Attrition starting to hit some of our rivals big names. Robbie Gray and Mitch Duncan look like they will be out for a while with knee injuries. Hope our boys stay safe.

    You’re absolutely right BBO. And, in the meantime, we have to endure putrid, irrelevant tripe. 
    It really is ego, with the added bonus for Execs of sunning themselves whilst bathing in their own wankery.

    It’s a boys club. How else can you explain why and how a bull crapper like Lethlean can parachute across to the Saints.

    Ollie Wines. 43 possessions.  8 marks. 6 tackles. 700 metres gained. Clearly BOG. Had good pace on the outside run. Won plenty of contested footy. Along with Bont, Oliver & Parish, he’d be another getting close to Brownlow favouritism.

    Geez, Joel Selwood’s a dirty player. He’ll get off with a fine but I think the penalty should be harsher. There’s no question of intent vs lack of intent. It’s 100% intentional and it’s dirty, underhanded tactics that we don’t need to see. 
    And I don’t think it’s a good thing for little kids who play footy to see. They emulate their heroes, and like it or not (for me it’s a not) he is a hero to lil Cats fans.

    Fine for both incidents but for me this is why they should make 2 reprimanding incidents equal a one week suspension. It kept happening with big name stars like Gary Ablett jnr and Tom Lynch where they’d get fine after fine for small dirty little things but never enough suspension in isolation. But if you keep doing it, it should result in a suspension. I know that they had this with the points system but that system got overly complicated with points and early pleas getting 25% discount. 

    Selwood is a great player but like almost every great player he has a little dirty streak to him. Judd was the same.

    But Wayne Carey really likes him! Says he’s the best captain in the game.

    To be fair, judging by the way he feels about himself, Wayne’s not a very good judge of character.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
