I can’t stand the [censored]!  I’ll stick to Tigers

Gold Coast Suns should be ashamed of themselves. Big Richmond injuries, a must win game to stay in touch and they dish up this tripe. Good thing they re-appointed Fat Boy Slim instead of Clarkson.

They've had a very fortuitous season IMO.

Beat Essendon by 11, Carlton by 4, Hawthorn by 4, GWS by 11, GC by 5 and now North by 7.

5-0 in that run could so easily have been 3-2 or worse, which would have them back in the pack and/or out of the 8.

To their credit they held on in all of those games, but generally speaking when a side does this well in close games they eventually regress back to the "norm", which is to not win 100% of them. Could happen this year with their moderately difficult run home, or otherwise we might find that next year they drop off in ladder position as you can't expect to continually win these close games.

On the percentage ladder they are 12th. Tells you everything about how lucky they’ve been in a season where 2 of the teams have essentially been byes.

Gold Coast chucked it in now.

I've been hearing all season about how Witts is the favourite to replace Gawn as AA ruckman.  He's done absolutely nothing tonight.  A few dinky little handballs.  Tigers 4 goals from stoppage out of 10. Other than being big and getting his hand to it a bit he's pretty useless.  Gawn is in no danger from him. Richmond will win this by 10 goals plus the way they're going.

I've been hearing that Collingwood are sniffing around a certain hyphen type name from a side who played them recently, which couldn't happen could it.

all of a sudden the Suns have sparked into life. I didn't see this coming

Assuming you mean Horne Francis I'm sure there's a number of clubs.

If Jackson goes West I'd be content with HF and a top 10 pick.

My instant reaction was ‘why would Alex Neal-Bullen want to play at Collingwood?’

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Seriously, players shouldn’t get match payments if they miss shots that easy.

[BDA 22,759]

grand stand finish. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Wow wee

[gs77 4,254]

Super pleased to say that did not age well.  Well done Suns!!

[BDA 22,759]

Came from the clouds. this could be a club defining win for the Suns. 

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,399]

Probably the best guy to have a shot after the siren. Classic finish 

[gs77 4,254]

Wouldn't mind seeing the suns make the 8. Mainly because it'd likely be at the expense of a Tigers or Dogs or similar
