Suns - Is it finally the year?

Post by Fred »

How good was the game last night against Hawthorn. Went out to a big lead however Hawks reeled this in and even hot the front going into last quarter. As has been the case this year - and signalling their improvement - the Suns fought back and took the lead and held on to win. This was similar to last week against the Dogs - well up then Dogs came within a few points only for suns to fight back and take the win. Sitting in the 8 at this stage. - having played one less game then all others in the 8 - one would think this season is when they Suns make the eight. This should theoretically see a rise in crowds at home you would think - however gold coast is a funny place when it comes to sporting teams - so will wait and see. Next game is St Kilda i think - usually not a high drawing crowd team - but think a crowd of 16-18 thousand would be a good result. Anyway - Suns finally playing good footy - still a little inconsistency re: loss to Richmond - so will see if this can be maintained - still lots of room for improvement I think too - particularly in the forward line - If Jed Walter gets anywhere near his potential, that of a power forward who can turn a game of his own boot and ability - I say look out. Could be a home final this year which would be a massive boost for the Suns presence on the Gold Coast.

Yes- they’ve come a long way. I think a major turning point was the new facilities they got following the commonwealth games.
