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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
