AFL 2016

<p>It was a matter of time. You only had to see the amount of draft picks GWS got so they've got talented young players and the way the game is being played this year, with the experience they've accumulated it isn't that surprising tbh.</p>
-
I watched the 2nd half of that GWS game and their pace and athleticism made the Hawks look ordinary. Great game from them. <br><br>
Another loss to Richmond and Dockers, brings a smile every time. <br><br>
Saints played well, but the Dee's defence was simply atrocious. It was easy pickings at times for the Saints forwards. I lost count of the 2 on 1's that the Saints had in our forward 50. -

You Melbourne ACTC? My apologies I thought you were a St Kilda supporter. Dnno why. -
No you're right I'm a Saints supporter That last sentence is a little confusing as I should've said "we had in our forward 50". <br><br>
Don't mind the Demons though. I think they have a few good young players that will be stars. -
Patty Dangerfield is a Deans-esque Adelaide sleeper agent.

Tigers beat the Swans
-
The Lions are the worst team in the comp. Just awful. I agree with whoever said Queensland can't support 2 teams
-
Umps obviously want the Hawks to win for Roughie

<p>Its interesting comparing GWS to GCS , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Both clubs were handed everything to them with draft picks , GWS seemed to do a lot better with theirs though , im not sure if it was luck , better kids available at the time, or management , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The other major beneficiary out of all that that gets overlooked were Hawthorn , while all the best kids in the land went to 2 clubs and not being spread around as usual , it stalled other clubs catching up to them </p> -
Culture and injuries killed the suns
-
Do you reckon the Suns can sustain a foothold on the GC? Sure there are a lot of Vics moved there but are they going to trade their allegiances from their own clubs?<br><br>
Thinking "aloud" as I type I suppose it does mean that the Vics that are there will go to see the visiting team and slowly come to support the Suns as their second team. -
<p>The Afl will help them the best they can , believing once on field success comes, the rest should fall into place </p>
<p> </p>
<p>They have some good kids already , keep finishing low, you get more , eventually the list should be so strong where the right coach can take hold and make a move , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The AFl are prepared for it to be a long term plan if it has to be , they said that at the beginning , and it looks like it will be </p> -
<p>As far as supporters go, that can take time , like you said AFL supporters are a loyal bunch , they dont change teams , supporters for life most of them </p>

<p>It wouldn't be the first football team to fail on the Gold Coast.</p>
