The ABC have been randomly bringing it with their footy writing recently. Read a great piece on the Crows' downfall there last week too. I don't think I'd ever even seen a extended piece of footy writing on there before then.

I didn't realise they write such readable articles. The analysis is great, something lacking in the HUN and The Age and other media.

Alex Keath rated highly demonstrating an ability to do both as required.

So Roughie gets to more contests but Zaine wins more? Is that how it reads?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I think you got that backwards. Correct me if I'm wrong but Roughead is higher on the plot meaning he win or draws a higher number of contests and slightly further left of Cordy meaning he gets less intercept possessions/spoils (minor amount)

Re: Gold Coast Suns Viability - How Long Have They Got?
The Suns are a rabble and are currently over 100 points down after kicking 2 points since quarter time.
Let's face it, this is not good for footy to have such an uncompetitive team, even though they have been given the cream of the crop over the past ten years.
AFL, time to rethink the whole experiment.

I missed the first 3 quarters but I assume it was an atrocity. Why'd they have to turn their toes up against the Demons of all sides?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Gold Coast Suns Viability - How Long Have They Got?
Funny thing was, their first quarter was, for the most part, really competitive and their tackling was giving them a real chance. The last few minutes of that first quarter were a warning sign and they never showed up again after that.

I saw at one point the inside 50s were something like 60-15.

Re: Gold Coast Suns Viability - How Long Have They Got?
They've been quite impressive this year and have now signed up Stuart Dew for 2 more seasons
THE SHADOW over Stuart Dew's future has been lifted, with the Gold Coast coach inking a new two-year contract that keeps him at the Suns until at least the end of 2024.
Dew has been at the centre of speculation surrounding his job since late last year, but the club has seen enough to rubber-stamp him as its main man.
Speaking exclusively to AFL.com.au, Dew said he kept things simple as scrutiny over his position swirled, and the spectre of Alastair Clarkson loomed.
"It sounds pretty boring, but I've asked myself 'what am I here to do and what do people need from me?' and I've tried to deliver that," Dew said.
