100%. the mute button is your friend On a positive note I think Jonesey has acquitted himself very well so far and Nathan Buckley is very insightful about the game. Solid additions to the commentariat

Freo putrid

one of the worst umpiring decisions you'll ever see. Never in a million years was that a dump tackle. hopefully won;t impact the result

This game is poor quality fare

Dogga has shown zero signs that he is not happy or wants to leave. There has been not a murmur from his management team or any ambiguous comments implying he might want to leave which you usually here if a player isn't happy. His parents were even talking about moving over here. The whole go home factor is overblown. Aside from Tim Kelly (who let it be known for a least a year he wanted to go home) there have been few examples of players leaving that clubs wanted to keep.

I didn’t look at those stats, my comments were purely observational. It just seemed to me the Suns forwards were able to mark the ball in good positions.

The 3 week break is not ideal particularly as Brisbane have tuned up with a simple win against the pies today. Brisbane are the reigning premiers and are now match fit and rested. It's going to be a very tough game for us next week

Gold Coast played well last night. They had a plan for us, avoiding the Langdon wing, creating marking contests, no easy marks to be had at all for us, hard at it around the ball, defensively solid although our delivery to our forwards was sloppy Miller is A-grade, Chol was a handful, Rowell is tough as. With Rankine to come back in I reckon they’ll win a fair few games this year We badly need Lever back in the team. We’re conceding too many inside 50 marks and scoring chances. With more composure the Suns could have been closer and made it a nervy last quarter. We will lose sooner rather than later if we meet an accurate opponent. We have to get Rick back in to marshal that defence Bowey was exceptional. Other than 1 errant handball in midfield his disposal was flawless. He has that rare quality of always appearing to have plenty of time. Positions himself perfectly, reads the play so well. Dogga is a beast. He’s now clunking marks that he was dropping last year. Sign him up now. Kozzie never gives his opponents a second of peace. Always hunting and harrying. Took his 2 goals well. He’s going to have a monster game soon. It’s brewing Trac was BOG. Played his typical brutish game We got the win while playing without some key defenders. We’ll put the points in the bank and move on P.S. Metricon is a lovely stadium. Pity none of the locals have any interest in heading along to see their team. Dees supporters outnumbered the Suns fans 60:40 I reckon.

Not at our best but got the job done. Bank the win and move on

More like 300

Bureau of meteorology got it wrong tonight. Beautiful night here

Dees fans out in force tonight. I reckon the crowd is 50/50

What a goal kozzie

No help from the umps tonight

Bowey excellent

Thank you north

We badly miss jake lever

Superb kick Ben brown

Badly needed

Suns are up and about. We’re in a game here

Big crowd not

Sunny here at the moment. Hopefully the rain holds off.

Better system AND better players. No club have a trio of defenders that come close to our defensive triumvirate of May, Lever and Salem

I’m looking forward to my first trip to Metricon and first flight since the before times It’s a danger game only in so far as every game is a danger game if we’re not switched on and focused. But this is the new Dees. We will be switched on and focused Dees by 5 goals

None of the 4 he kicked tonight were easy. Straight and true We may never see the likes again. well done Buddy
