But Goodwin also gave more Suns players votes…

Football actions should not warrant suspension, regardless of outcome. This was a football action and does not warrant suspicion. It’s unfortunate Ballard was hurt (multiple times throughout the match…), but he was not concussed and will play again next week. It’s a contact sport and players will get hurt from time to time. JVR went for the ball and could have actually cleaned up Ballard if he went the man or went with his other arm etc. He did his best to play the game fairly and avoid seriously injuring his opponent. Suspension should only be for non football actions of malice really. Would be a shame for young JVR to be suspended for trying to play the game. If the appeal is unsuccessful, I hope it doesn’t affect his confidence and I hope he doesn’t change his game at all.

Pretty accurate votes, though Oliver didn’t have the best game and was well held in the first half. Thought Trac was better personally. Hard to argue with the votes though. We had few players who starred and we were lucky to win. Their midfield destroyed us and Anderson taught our mids a lesson in work rate and class. He’s a ripper and he should’ve been ours!

We’re loading. Don’t stress. Worked fine for us last year ;)

FFS MELBOURNE WAKE UP YOU LAZY FOOLS

Our midfield has been pitiful tonight. Suns kids showing us up in effort and toughness.

Getting SMACKED at the contest. Dig in and we’ll cruise away in the second half. Fritta needs to hit the scoreboard and keep his streak alive.

Promising young kid. He was the reason we were trying to trade up the draft. Strongly built inside mid with good forward craft. Similar to Trac actually but less polished by foot when on the outside. If we don’t package up our picks come draft time, I’d be all for trading our first rounder for him (as in take Freos pick 5ish to draft and trade out pick 18ish for him). Getting a pick 6 who we were keen on for that would be a steal.

You might want to load up on booze or something. It’s going to be a very ugly poor quality game! 😆

That goal kicking accuracy is a big improvement from last year. It's a key reason why we belted some teams like the Swans by 50+, and it's actually the main reason we beat the Tigers too as they beat us everywhere except the scoreboard due to inaccuracy. Hats off the Choco Williams for his work on our goal and field kicking accuracy and the players for working hard on this important aspect of the game. Our accuracy holds us in good stead to knock over Collingwood IMO.

Awesome news! We love you Kozzie! So exciting to see what he’ll produce over the next four years. He already has a huge impact on games and still has more growth left in his game. Also, cop that Kane Cornes you muppet!

Adelaide lost that match. Collingwood didn’t win. If the Crows kicked even 50% accuracy they win. Bad kicking is bad football. The Pies are a good team but they’re not unstoppable. Generate scoring shots and don’t stuff up too many of them and you beat them. Crows should’ve beat them by 4-5 goals today. Guess who the most accurate team in the league is this year… Yep. The Dees. We show up, bring the intensity, play our brand of footy and we’ll beat the Pies.

They just traded the farm for Taranto and Hopper thinking they were still in premiership contention. They traded two first rounders, a second rounder and a future first! By my calculations they’re currently set to hand GWS pick 3 and won’t have a first round pick themselves until 2025 draft! Era is over and they’re going to languish down the bottom longer than usual because they got no draft capital now and the new Tassie team will get concessions in a few years when they finally get picks again. It’s going to be an ugly time for Richmond. They did get to enjoy three flags though so big success.

Dealer? That’s being generous. Looks more like the addict with a rotted brain needing us fix. 100% fake tough guy. Nothing surer than Maynard coming in and attacking an unsuspecting opponent.

I thought the selection committee was poor with rewarding form last year. Chin was dominant in the VFL and was having back to back 30 disposals and/or multiple goal games. He should’ve been given games at AFL level last year and had every right to be annoyed at wasting his career in the VFL. He was beyond that level. He’s been given opportunity this year at AFL level and flourished. He’s always been able to find ball, but his finishing skills around goal have been the most impressive part of his season for me. He’s kicked some absolute ripper snaps that are up there with Kozzies magic. I’m so happy he’s been able to cement his spot in the team. Well deserved and means he won’t leave for opportunity either. Well done Chin and keep it up. Here’s hoping you can add an AFL premiership to your VFL one!

Percentage!!!

Coughed up 3 goals in the last 4 minutes. Disappointing ending. Great win regardless. Well done boys!

How good is this! After we lost to this rubbish club so many times, we’re finally giving it back to them. Break them!

This is great! Keep up the momentum boys. Build the percentage with 100+ win please!

This should be a percentage building win but we generally get dragged down to a lower standard when playing poor teams and rarely thump them. Should be a comfortable win nonetheless. Hoping to see a few players like May, Petty and Kozzie return to form after a poor few games.

Great stuff from the club and looks like Dolly had the time of her life!

Good on Nibbler and the club. From being told to look around to valuable role player. He’s the definition of resilience and perseverance. Glad he’s hitting the scoreboard again this year. His best seasons were 2018 and 2021 where he hit the scoreboard as well as providing link up run.

Huge out. He’s been one of the best mids in the league that past 12 months or so. We should have more of an advantage around the contest.

BBrown is having back issues and coming back via VFL to ease him back in and prove his fitness. It’s a shame as he was in great form before getting injured. I don’t expect BBrown or TMac to be in the team next year and wouldn’t be surprised if either retired at the end of the year despite being contracted for one more year. They’ve both been good players over the journey, but their bodies are packing up and neither can stay out in the park or maintain form once they make it out there.

I thought Chandler was injured? Surely on a 5 day turn around they don’t risk him and give Laurie a chance against a bottom four team!
