Pick 1 here we come

I'm sure that after Essendon's inspiring win over us, they'll continue on their merry way and handle the Suns with relative ease.

I can see Essendon's heavy hitters in McKay, Gresham, Wright and Tsatas being too overwhelming for the Suns to handle.

Depressing reading that, im sure you felt even worse writing it up.

On the contrary, I absolutely enjoyed watching Essendon players who haven't done a thing in more than 12 months all of a sudden play like All Australians all on the one day.

Even worse watching it live and listening to those smug tricks grow another leg in confidence.

I hope in 2 weeks time I hope we don't fall into the trap as we did in Gather round.

Richmond haven't won a game this year and are on a soon to be after this weekend 11 game losing streak.

It was just payback for when we were in their position in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and quickly snuffed out any hype surrounding them by beating them despite being outsiders. I think they were undefeated in 2012 when we beat them.

2013.... scene missing.

Fair call. (they were 8-1 against us coming into the 2012 game but point taken)

We had no business beating them in 2012 and 2014.

Deathriding the Suns this week be like:

10.1 goals suggest it isn't sustainable but the Dons are up at the major break

Gold Coast 8.10.58
Essendon 10.1.61

i'm out an about but just saw the score

bombers a chance

a third loss on the spin for the Suns would be great

I think the best case scenario is playing out currently. Suns aren't the dominant force we thought they were and could hopefully slip into the 5 to 8 range come finals time, which will potentially net us a Pick in the 11-15 range. Heck if they by chance lost a wildcard game that could be Pick 9 or 10. Just hope they don't gain momentum and go on a run.

If the Suns held Humphrey hostage, we'd still net two decent young players again at the worse. Or could trade up for a high pick?

The spooky thought that we fixed Essendon and broke Gold Coast.

Anyone else remember the good old days, as far back as the Daniher era, where teams were constantly changing their overall form, from good to bad or back again, after playing the Demons? Back when we were the top ranked Victorian side and the only ones deemed a credible finals threat?

Meanwhile, how embarrassing that a team which can field an entire starting 18 from the first round of the draft, with a triple-premiership coach in charge, is struggling to look like serious contenders?

Hopefully it is back to leaking talent in all directions for the Suns. Sorry, SUNS. Is ol' Humpy going to be a new Steven May?

Hawx v Suns next week in Tassie, tough match up
