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> -

Crows wrap up the round smashing St Kilda.<br><br>
Bumps us to at least 7. Maybe 6 if that was enough of a percentage boost.</p></blockquote>
<br>
So I lied. We stay in 8th. Misread WCE's %.<br><br>
GWS WCE and Crows all on 28. On 133.3% 133% and now 127.1% respectively.
