5) Armo - he is now our best mid
4) Macca - dominant big man on ground
3) NDS - got the hard balls and usem them intelligently
2) Milera - thought he played a ripper both attacking and defensive
1) Wright - One of the better first game performances i've ever seen.

There's two things that have to happen for us to have a chance of victory: First, we need to at least break even in the midfield. Last time they cut us open with their midfield spread. GC did this to us last week too, and we've been shizen at clearances for years, so this is the main area of concern...

I reckon SW had a bad night in the coaches box. Some very questionable midfield moves, including Milera in the center square bounce!?

I take it you enjoy being bent over and shamed.

Ok, ok, he was BOG, but lets not be licking his asshole now, shall we?

I actually thought our forward line functioned quite well tonight, we had more scoring shots and kicked a crapload of points. Our defence looked poor like last year, but the biggest shock was in the midfield, where we were bent over and spanked. That's where the game was lost, make no mistake. A gam...

Painful though it is to admit after a pre-season that had me hyped, it may well be that 2013 needs to be our 'down' year, rather than just miss out on the 8 like last year. Just one year down the bottom, maybe two, then back up like a rocket.

What the f*** was with that 100 m penalty in the 3rd quarter? I knew if it was close the AFL would give them everything possible. Ok now I'll say it. Ablett is f****** little mercenary who's sold his soul for 30 pieces of silver. He is a C$NT!!! It's not that the AFL is corrupt, it's simply that we...

I'm surprised people don't really rate Hayes' game. I thought he was best afield for us. Again. Gotta say I'm bordering on disgusted at Dal Santo's effort though. He should be by far and away our best mid, and a genuine matchwinner, but at no stage in the precedings tonight did he even slightly impo...

You are all a pack of pathetic people! People are calling for the coaches head, the players heads, calling the season is over. Before this game everyone was saying that everyone was underrating us! Make no mistake that the Suns are only going to keep getting better. And Ablett is an absolute gun! Y...

Anything less than a 5-goal win would be a disaster.

It's a good thing that journo's are free to find things out and publish them. Can you imagine if all we ever read was exactly what the AFL wanted us to read? Making up stories as a journo and publishing them as fact, now, thats a low act, but has caro done this?

I know he's tall, but would Lee be a chance for that spot? I hear he's above average for ground work for a big guy.

Milera actually marks above his weight, ive noted. Unusually strong mark for a skinny frame.

Mind you Peter Hudson corrected Lockett's kicking style in 20 minutes at half time in tha t famous game against Carlton, so given a couple of weeks Lee could improve this. I've never heard about that. Was it the game at mooorabin in '88 or '89 where locket won the game with a goal near the death an...

He's taken a step forward from last year and is now in front of koz... but that doesn't make him a real weapon yet. The only way he'll ever approach any kind of legitimate A-grade status imo is if he does what Fraser did and stacks on 10-15kg over the coming years and becomes a gorilla FF. He looks ...

I just watched the james hird presser as i scrawl through the footy news on sunday morning in the hopes of seeing him squirm which i enjoy, and when asked about brendon goddard his ears perked up and he began glowing in reference to "not only the marvelous footballer, which we knew we were gett...

Talent wise, are we a stronger unit than last year? There's nothing to suggest we are. Oh but there is... -Hickey, Lee and TDL for starters -A fit Schneider, Gwilt and Stanley (hopefully) second - A solid pre-season for saad, milera, newnes third - And finally... this is the first pre-season since ...

That particular game really sticks out in the memory, doesn't it? There was no systematic corruption behind in, but by the end of the game the umpires were actually barracking for collingwood. They saw collingwood as the "good guys", and us the "bad guys." It was a disgusting dis...

He is a very good player but... he was 4th for disposals last year but was isn't the AA squad, don't think many would have him in their best 20 players in the comp? Despite his massive numbers, I don't think he influences matches like many who accumulate less touches. Disagree. They pretty much hav...
