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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
