Thanks tony74.
Richmond drops games they should win. We don't want the same tag.
Need to defuse any thoughts of any imaginary travel hoodoo :shock: :x

That little voice in the head saying "oh no, an interstate game!" must be silenced.

Who's the sports psychologist? Mark Spargo?
Hope he has some valuable input

Suns were pretty good today and are overdue for a win. No doubt that message will be drummed in to the players very hard this week.

Last night is last week.

The gains made from the win against the Cats will be wasted if the boys don't back it up this week. Need to apply that pressure consistently.

Ablett got 40 today?
We did well on Danger and Duckwood, we should keep baldy in check.
Just need to bring it.

Eagles go well at Subi, but only won one away.
We don't want to be the Etihad bullies

I saw the Suns play Richmond at the MCG a couple of weeks ago and they were pretty good. Should have won. We''ll need to be on our game from the outset

Our boys seem to get homesick from the time they leave Tullamarine, which is a concern

Forget about the trips to Adelaide and Perth.

Our boys only need to look back to the corresponding game last year to draw some confidence ImageImage

Ah yes, that rings a bell now. I confess to being too lazy to look it up

Gold Coast have been getting their injured players back and they are a lot stronger than a few weeks ago and their ladder position.
We need to bring our best pressure game.

Am glad to hear that tony74. The red alert lights are flashing, not to mention Suns looked good against Hawthorn, and G.Ablett looked close to the best he's looked for a long time. All up spells danger game.

The last two games of 2013 and the first two of 2014 were all wins.

But in a single season, Round 18-20 2011. The last three of a six game winning streak.

Well what the heck is wrong Tony ?

Enough of all the spin and bulls*** excuses.

WE ARE MENTALLY SOFT INTERSTATE!

I'm hoping we get 7 intestate games next year. The boys need to toughen up.

Send them to friggin Kokoda or something. That's tougher than the Gold Coast against a team that has lost 9 in a row I assume?

What a joke

If that's the case, there is finals type intensity. Was that witnessed?

2 things
Players and coaches weren't prepared

The away thing is now in the psyche of the club... Getting rid of it will take as long as Riewoldts yips... The media will have a field day.

Credibility
Not yet, not at all... Disappointing!

If it was the most important game of the season and we failed miserably then some senior players have to go. A statement needs to be made. Three times interstate now. Acres, Lonie and Minchington can't be the scapegoats after this. If they are I'll be pissed. Lyon dropped Milne and Dal Santo its Richos turns now

That ranks as one of our worst efforts all season.
So glad we set ourselves for this!

We fair dinkum made the Suns look like the Harlem Globetrotters.
