36 tackles after hardly laying one v Collingwood

[Andyy]

Worst performance for the year comfortably

[Buddysucks]

Stop the clock, Nank took a contested mark!

Worst performance for the year comfortably

I disagree. Efforts been there just no skill and outclassed. We need to get to the point where our major ball winners have skill and class. Lalor, Hotton, Smillie have all displayed that at the level below, hopefully it’s them. But that’s gonna take time
Banks has shown a bit this year but no room for both him and short.

Brown needs to find more of the ball

Guys like mansell are just such battlers. Gives his all but he’s just battler, no class

This version of mansell is basically Castagna

Mansell finally kicks one with one minute to go.

23 - 101

U18 is more than a level below

[mightytiges]

Sums up our day. Out again on the wing and the handball (Sonsie) is poor at his teammate's feet which brings the Suns in and we lose the ball.

Gold Coast     4.1      6.5    11.9     16.11-107

Goal: Armstrong, Mansell


Hard to find any positives. Happy to see Hotton's cameo in the midfield in the second half but even he missed a gettable shot.

[eliminator]

Positive Armstrong got through the game.

[Simonator]

Hotton looked more comfortable too. That’s all I’ve got

Just knew it was going to be a shocker when we didn't get a free early in the 1st when umpire 37 who was less than 10 metres away didn't pay a free when I think it was Faull copped a foot to the back of the head while on the ground. Ump 37 just stood there like a statue while the controlling umpire came in form 15 metres away and said ball up

Umpiring was pathetic

Yeah they really evened up the ledge after sticking the knife in during the first quarter.

I'm not surprised by the late blow out but actually thought they fought hard to stay competitive for 2.5+ quarters, despite being so inaccurate in front of goal.

Another game into the kids . Long season. All teams - even top 8 teams are having mulligans this time of year.
Just hope Jonty isn’t too bad and he’s back for pre season. He’s been awesome.
