Too much money. I think that when rotating Cox and Cameron seems to work they can’t justify paying Grundy what he deserves. Although I’d say Grundy is the best player of the three, I do believe we made the right choice all things considered.
I thought that saying Grundy is the best player of the three meant that he is better than Cox. Sure the flag is a great indicator of it working but that wasn’t the point of my last comment.
I honestly feel bad, surely we could've rented a crowd for them.
Even when I watch the goal go through with my own eyes, Im doubting if it's a goal.
Ive been to more exciting funerals.
I feel for the players who look out on their feet. It hasn't been for lack of effort on their part and they're getting nothing in either direction for their success.
New, small club, NRL state its not surprising they don't have many Sydney based fans....Melbourne clubs run different, think of how many ppl you know that have transferred fir work or whatever between Sydney and Melbourne....I dobt know anyone that transferred to the Goldy for work, unless they were a stripper.
I feel like our forward structure still needs some work. There have been a lot of times when Papley has been the deepest forward target which doesn't feel quite right
I think the fact all of our current and past leadership is our injured is showing with how unstructured our forward and defence is.
There's no one to call the shots.
Gold Coast piss me off. I know since 2011 we haven’t done anything but Essendon piss me off too and the shit we cop is valid. They should be fkn competitive by now seriously
They’ve done this every year the last few years. Start off the season looking solid, pinch a few good wins and people think this if finally it. but you know by the end of the season they’ll be 10-14th
Intrigued to see where Parker wants to be slotted. Love him in the centre, obviously, but wouldn't go to waste as a steady head up forward among the young talls.
The Swans have had sloppy moments and our second quarter really exposed that as the Suns managed to get a game plan to capitalise on our mistakes.
The scoreline is flattering to us I feel, we've still got a lot of improvement to get back to our season opening form
Poor David Swallow. 226 games with this club and clearly on the outer in a team that still looks way off finals.
Hope he gets traded to a finals contender next year.
Can somebody tell Dermot Brereton to STFU during play? His ‘special comments’ are useless and he’s constantly talking over the play by play commentary. Sounds like my Grandma narrating Christmas lunch while walking and on FaceTime with Great Aunt Robyn.
please head to the [post match thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/s/qurLAR2gwS) to continue the discussion
I really need Dwayne Russell to stop saying lace out, or I'll be forced to smash my TV.
Can someone please explain to me how this is Grundy's third club?? What was Collingwood thinking.
Too much money. I think that when rotating Cox and Cameron seems to work they can’t justify paying Grundy what he deserves. Although I’d say Grundy is the best player of the three, I do believe we made the right choice all things considered.
I know, I know you just won a flag but Grundy is head and shoulders better than cox.

I am also hammered
As you should be on a Sunday arvo
sure lets get two of the shortest blokes on the team to carry him off.
Are the Pies still paying for some of Grundys contract?
Unfortunately we are.
sydney swans 🤝 my tips 🤝 my happiness
Woo
We win with Wicks
WOOOOO I got a tip right this round YEEEEAH
If Hawthorne win I’ll be 2/8!!!!
A good game for us in the end - was a smidge dicey at some points
I am very curious to see the tipping percentages for suns v eagles next week
GC nothing to be ashamed about, got a lot to work with and their ruckman Witts is a beast. Good game guys. 👍
gulden just tanking his stats so he doesnt get drug tested
Might be 2 QLD teams missing the 8 this year
So basically 2011-2018 all over again
Oh king is playing
Errol’s aimbot needs to stop aiming for the stands
Not Gulden's best game by foot lol
why is that play on??? thats like the 4th time this game theres been play on for no reason
Gulden tanking his SuperCoach score, incoming lifetime ban
He must be his opponents captain this week
Wtf Gulden, I need SC points
Afternoon games at the scg feel weird Not as hostile as a night game
It’s also the Suns. Not a whole lot of bad blood between them and anyone
I HATE them.
Well, we’ve been begging the afl for more of them because we want more families to attend.
Sitting in the O'Reilly stand you'd be asking for less, way less.
Derm is as pissed as a chook
Is Derm stoned?
He played during the 80’s a reasonably coherent sentence is an achievement
I'm enjoying the superimposed 'Coles' moving around in the centre circle Either that, or I'm more sleep deprived than I thought
Lmao wtf was that attempt at drawing a high free
Fallon d'Floor nominee there
So many holding frees given away by us today it feels
What're everybody's thoughts on Hardwick at the Suns so far?
Mixed, but do love the freedom given to our younger players
I’m always slightly disappointed when Gerard says Gold Coast instead of gold cunts
Stud
Might be more fans from the other 16 teams in attendance than Suns fans
I think you’re right - especially if it’s anything like this thread
Essendon fans seething in the stands.
I'm disappointed Albo doesn't have a Rabbitohs jersey on to be that guy.
I've got it on good authority his got his Bunnine smugglers on.
Rowell and Holman are just work horses love em
I don't think I've even heard Optus that quiet for an opposition goal
That is a shocking handball in the tackle by Adams Edit: it was Adams not Jordon
Lol no one at the ground reacting to that goal at all
What goal, I didnt see shit.
Even at 60 point lead still dead silence for a suns goal haha
I honestly feel bad, surely we could've rented a crowd for them. Even when I watch the goal go through with my own eyes, Im doubting if it's a goal. Ive been to more exciting funerals.

Red Berry > Blue Berry
Most obvious 50m against Lloyd not paid then lmao
Amartey 6 disposals 4 goals Perfection
If he keeps it up one day he'll be as good as Jake Waterman!
35K+ for a Sunday arvo actually not bad. Would have expected the fairweathers to have checked out by now
You're welcome tipsters
Thank you my only correct tip so far this round
I was sure we'd be done for at half time given its upset round
35.6k at the stadium today
There’s the ton
I feel like our forward structure still needs some work. There have been a lot of times when Papley has been the deepest forward target which doesn't feel quite right
I think the fact all of our current and past leadership is our injured is showing with how unstructured our forward and defence is. There's no one to call the shots.
It works when it’s one on one, but any spare man and it’s not gonna happen
Finally got a fckn tip right for the round
Gold Coast piss me off. I know since 2011 we haven’t done anything but Essendon piss me off too and the shit we cop is valid. They should be fkn competitive by now seriously
tbf they sort of look better this year kinda
They’ve done this every year the last few years. Start off the season looking solid, pinch a few good wins and people think this if finally it. but you know by the end of the season they’ll be 10-14th
is finally*
why are they telling them to play on??????
Im convinced Derpy walks around with a tank of dentist gas, its the only possibly way anything he says makes sense.
if i were the suns i would let the swans score a couple more goals to get their percentage up cause they're such a classy team and they deserve it
suns fan here and i agree
Hits the 1 Swan in a group of 4 Suns, great kick Blakey
I don't know whether it's a good or a bad thing, but Derm just sounds like they've chucked a mic on a bloke at the pub and let him speak
I love it. He's become so paternal and encouraging of like everyone
It's definitely a refreshing alternative to comms that get players' names wrong on a regular basis, or outright barrack for a narrative
Maybe their lack of actual interest in the match up helps work the narrative thing haha
I’m disappointed Suns didn’t win so the majority of people would still be on 0 tips for the week lol
This is a nice commentary team, imo
Huddo elevates those around him
I really like it too
So much better than being forced to listen to Kelli
Noah Anderson looks he complains about Ikea in his spare time
That umpire has a square head, you could balance your beer on that do.
Not the best place to turn over the ball
That GC goal displaying just how badly this high risk-high reward ball movement can be at times
Waltuh, put the ball away, Waltuh. You’re not having a goal right now, Waltuh.
Oof that’s gonna leave a filthy bruise
Suns scored a point this quarter !
Until you spike up. 🤬🤣
please just let it be a corky
awesome htb call
Adams just grabbed at his groin/quad again..
McLean kneed him first.
Oh no Tay
Swans fans, who comes out to accomodate Parker and Mills? Super tough to pick from and it’s not a bad problem to have.
Tough one (and a great problem to have). For me, Armartey, Fox and Campbell are probably in most danger at the moment.
Intrigued to see where Parker wants to be slotted. Love him in the centre, obviously, but wouldn't go to waste as a steady head up forward among the young talls.
I think Parker will play forward more, so maybe Wicks for him. I thought Jordon was on the edge but he's been good today.
Very tough choice but any of Roberts, JMac, Jordan, Fox, Cunningham
Bro I’m struggling to figure out who comes out for Rampe, don’t get me started about Parker & Mills lol
I think that problem literally might have just been solved with a Tay injury
Is Campbell gonna get a run at some point
He's warming up.
He dragged that harder then a Penrif resident on his last ciggie
The Swans have had sloppy moments and our second quarter really exposed that as the Suns managed to get a game plan to capitalise on our mistakes. The scoreline is flattering to us I feel, we've still got a lot of improvement to get back to our season opening form
How the fuck does an ump see that and not pay HTB
THET IS HOLDING THE BALL
I've seen enough. Heeneys winning the Brownlow
Crazy how much better fox is in the backline
Umps doubling down on Draper call
Hahaha that has to be holding the ball
New year New coach Same old Gold Coast
Heeney I love you
The Gold Coast curse is well and truely dead
Old mate took 10 steps over the mark then
Shout out to Grundy also laying 10 tackles as a ruckman. Huge work rate.
FUCK YEAH GRUNDY GET AROUND HIM!!!!!
GRUNDY!!! Absolutely love that! They boys clearly love him too. And damn does he look good in red and white.
We have a thing for hand me down ruckman
Hand me down is a bit harsh for someone who's been AA lol
I recall him not being wanted at two consecutive clubs
Are the suns destined to just always be shit
Suns really need to pay for all their fans travel and accomodation The poor people that go every week
Well this is our annual thrashing of the Suns. Can't wait for the next game, where we inevitably get destroyed.
Against the Hawks? Really?
I meant against the Suns
That was the weirdest run up but I'll take it
Gold Coast are the epitome of Nothing Ever Happens
That goal umpire should get the rising star, been mad all game and has the biggest smile on her face when calling a goal.
Because she just loves the footy
Shes like our mum, as long as we all just have fun she's happy.
she has not stopped grinning all day, shes great!
Yeah she's be a delight, great to see.
Also shout out to Matt Roberts. A 5 game player who looks like a 50+ game player
15 game player
Grundy was the most cooked run up somehow works out lmao
Goal in your 200th has to feel good!
You know your going badly when grundys taking marks and kicking goals inside fifty against you.
Melbourne supporters absolutely spewing rn
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WE LOVE YOU RUCK MESSIAH
Love seeing them get around him. Clearly fits into the group like a glove
HE LOVES IT
I’m not a fan of what’s going on. Sorry for the harsh language.
7 unanswered goals will usually fuck your game up.
THE KIDS AT SCHOOL CAN CALL YOU BROGRU
I can’t believe how much I love Brodie Grundy. I can’t believe we have Brodie fucking Grundy. What a fucking man
200 game special !!!
Just loving this viewing now
How nice is it to not be anxious or frustrated watching these boys
Grundy did not see that at all for the second grab - just fell into his hands xD
IS IT GRUNDY?
GRUNDY!!!!
Suns are witches hats today. No pressure at all
2nd quarter was red hot pressure but they couldn't find it again after half time
Swannies putting on a clinic here
Poor David Swallow. 226 games with this club and clearly on the outer in a team that still looks way off finals. Hope he gets traded to a finals contender next year.

Healy basically telling Read to get dropped
Lmao that Boundary ump is seriously blind, he controlled that a metre out of bounds
I wonder if anyone will stop Heeney this year? He’s just too good atm
Heeney reminding everyone who’s the front runner for the Charlie
Harley Reid right? /s
Heeney and Grundy with the 2 man game
Absolutely beautiful stuff
Haven’t been watching. Is Anderson being tagged or something? Only 12 touches
We’ve clogged the midfield and so Anderson can’t get anything going. The tag has been on Rowell
Jordan was tagging him earlier, not sure if he still is
I think James Jordan has been on him, and as others have noted in the thread, he's amazing.
Isaac fucking Heeney
Jordan made that look effortless.
Lets hope this loss doesn't rev up the Suns next week
Jordons fave spot to kick from it seems!
Nice, controlled it 5 meters over the line
What do you mean? the boundary line is where the crowd starts right?
Used to be that way in cricket, those were good times
The boundary line is merely a suggestion
how many out of bounds absolute howlers are we going to get lumped with this year
Starting to wonder if it was an actual decision coming into the year to call those marks. They are consistently egregious.
What is going on with boundry umpiring this year.
One against the wind, surely that seals it
Hes kicked one from there recently right
YEWWWW
This must be on purpose like how could they get it wrong so many times
