Did anyone watch the Raiders Broncos game? Sounded like it had everything in it. Penalty after the final whistle to take it to extra time.

I missed the last 10 mins but all the media was saying there was minimal contact but the pretty boy Reece went down like he’d been hit by a train. He did turn the game though after spending 10 mins in the bin for a head but.

Suns lions was a bit of a damp squib, for a neutral like me

Sigh, had been looking forward to that one

It sure was. Quite a few players just didn’t get into the game for whatever reason. Oh well onwards & upwards.

No complaints from me. Easier than I thought it would be. Bring on Collingwood.

Suns have done well this season, first finals series and winning their first one away to Freo. I think they’d be happy overall and will be a big threat in the next few seasons.

I know I’ll be disappointed tomorrow when the Raiders beat the Broncos so I’ll enjoy this one.

Really enjoying this Storm v Bulldogs final, though there have been a LOT of injuries during the game

That was a good game wasn’t it. From a neutrals POV who dislikes both sides I couldn’t help but have a chuckle but felt sorry for Toby Sexton & the way he’s been treated by the club. He’s twice the player that Gould thinks Galvin is. And now they dropped Reed Mahoney last night. Joke of a club.

Are you going, SB?

No, my son tried to get txt but missed out.

Neale being out is a massive loss on top of the already big list of injuries. I really don’t know how this will go. They’ve got some top young talent like the Ashcrofts and Will has shown he’s capable of stepping up on the big occasions and the experience of Zorko in a game like this will definitely help.

The suns have had some big wins to finish the season and have some momentum and have nothing to lose with a top coach. I expect a very fired up and aggressive approach from both teams considering the rivalry already there and this being a final. Exciting game.

Yeah Neale & Hipwood are big losses & im hoping we can keep Zorko & co quiet too. We’d not won against Freo in Perth till last weekend I believe so it’s a season of 1sts.

The Suns have a really bad record up in Brisbane but they have a fair few season ending injuries so you never know, this could be our turn. Tickets sold out in an hour.

On at 1030am here in Dublin - score! Awesome that it’s not an afternoon game (awesome for me at least)

[SB]

The Q battle looks like being a blockbuster this weekend. We flogged the Lions not too long ago so I know on our day we can do it.

The suns game wasn’t on TV here but I was watching the score online. I’m actually happy they won even as a lions fan. What a game it’s going to be on Saturday. I wish I was there for it.

The lions are in a bit trouble though, looks like the injuries have caught up with them and even if they did beat the suns I can’t see them winning the next two at the MCG.

Do you think Hardwick will win them a tittle in the next few years? They seem to have plenty of young players to build a team around and have a pretty good academy they are benefiting from right now. You could see both the Suns and Lions being at the top for a few years now. The hate I see online for the lions getting academy picks and benefiting from the father son picks is funny coming from the Victorian teams.

What a great weekend for both Gold Coast teams. Titans winning after trailing 28-12 at HT to score 24 unanswered points 2nd half & the mighty Suns win by 1 point away from home.
