To be fair, we were excrement in 2013 and won a Premiership in 2021. Would anyone have said at any time before 2017 that we would win a premiership that soon?

We were pretty good from 2017 despite missing finals and very rough around the edges but the list was building.   I just don't see the Suns list in that mould.

Like to be proven wrong though as they have stuck fat with their coach unlike others 'traditional' clubs in Victoria in disarray.

    Gotta hand it to them for hanging on. We were in that boat for so long.. wasn’t until our board recruited Roos and soon after Vince (who in my view) single-handedly brought back self confidence and pride in the red and blue when it was needed most. From there, the rest is history.

    I feel like Suns need a circuit breaker like that to progress.. but for now, I think they’ll continue to languish.

    Predicting a premiership window is about as reliable and picking one of these.

    The expert tipsters on that show always seemed to be able to predict which window. Maybe they chose the wrong vocation?

    Meanwhile ... the Suns aren't that far off it. They play good footy in patches, and have all the pieces, but they lose matches by dropping their bundle at some point in a match, when the tide is going against them. They pick up their socks but by the time they do, they're too far behind.

    They then proceed to do that for enough matches in a row to drop off the pace and it's season over. A Scott, Clarkson, Hardwick, or Goodwin would have them in the 8 overnight.

    I'm quite bullish on the Suns' prospects from here. Notwithstanding Rankine leaving, they seem to have staunched the bleeding of players and they've now got a solid core, with a number of high quality players, upon which to take the next step.

    I take your point on the Suns.  With at least two final 8 teams from this year falling out of the 8 (as occurs every year) ,  2 spots will be up for grabs in 2023.  

    The Blues MUST be one of them, and as you say why can't the Suns be the other. That would be a credit to them management -wise if they could do it.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
