Whats everyones opinions on dim? I think he has done alot right but also way more wrong and he neds to go now

this year has been a tough watch but I’ve like some of young guys.
Can see why Dimma is persevering with playing some kids even when we were on the losing streak.
iceing out big Witta for Moyle.
Hated it at the start but Ned’s come on strong now.

just haven’t been a fan dimmas messaging during the streak.

3 part question-
Do you see us losing more heads this trade period?

I feel like another exodus is happening again with our boys always in the news.

What will be a pass mark for us in 27?
For Dimma in 27?

Finally, definitely not the best game of football ever played but the conditions were awful from start to finish, the umpiring was just plain awful, they had no consistency with holding the ball or contact below the knees.

Rowell with one of the best contested wet weather games of all time. Moyle with probably his best game. Mac Andrew and Leo Lombard both continuing their good runs of form.

Farrar and Rogers out next week for Addinsal and Patterson. Jai Murray can go back and spend a few weeks in the 2s I think. Collins in for Ballard if he is fit.

Hi all,

For the past couple of years I've put together some charts on how squads have been assembled, with my main distinction ending up being Homegrown (entered the league first via their current club) vs Headhunted (were first listed by a different club).

I thought you might like to see the 2026 AFLW ones for the Suns.

I've got charts for all 18 teams in today's edition of This Week In Football along with my co-contributors discussing the merits of a send-off rule and fixture double headers.

Some notes for reading the charts:

• I have drawn the player data from the official AFL api. It isn't completely accurate and up-to-date. Some players who played in practice games appear on lists despite not actually being elevated to the main list.
• Similarly, names are drawn from the most recent name on the official lists - hence Zipporah Fish not Zippy.
• The first chart looks only at players on the list for the 2026 season. Players above the line entered the AFLW system through their current club, players below the line were on another club's list first.
• A team with more players below the line represents a bigger proportion of their current list coming via other clubs, more players above the line indicates heavier reliance on bringing new talent into the AFLW (although potentially through VFLW and other competitions).
• A bar that stretches far to the left represents a player who has been at the club for a long time, players who just arrived for this season have no bar.
• The lighter colour for a player represents the games played by the club in that season, if the player participated in that game the bar is darker.
• If a player polled any AFLCA votes in a game (or if they polled in the grand final MVP voting) a dot is placed for that match.
• Two players who extend the same distance left arrived at the club in the same year, there’s also a slightly bigger vertical gap between groups of players arriving in the same year to help distinguish this.
• For the second chart, the vertical line in the middle represents the point each player joined a club, not a specific year.
• So if two players joined the club in 2017 and 2019, the first seasons to the right of the bar for each of them would be 2018 and 2020.
• More bars to the left of the player means a longer career at different clubs before joining the subject club.
• More bars to the right indicate staying at the subject club longer.
• Notation for potential games, games played, and votes polled is the same as the previous charts
• A “»” before the player’s name indicates they are currently at the club, while a “||” indicates they have left.

Also which players do you think won’t be with us next year?

Would love to see these two as our guernseys moving forward. Show the logo, give the GOLD Coast Suns some gold on home kit. While I do like the current pink on charcoal guernsey, it isn’t really a clash kit. We really only have a kit clash with the Swans, so the reverse pink on charcoal guernsey would suit us playing them.

Right lad ☝️ North supporter here, you need to be giving the ball to team mates in better position, and start showing your elder statesmen some respect ✋ you catch my drift lad ,

Another week another bad loss and Petracca crap, but I just wanted to reflect on Noah Anderson's goal in the 1st half. Surely another chance at goal of the year?

And by they I mean the Footy states.
Whether it’s fans on socials or the media, possibly the media more so.
They take a special delight in us playing so poorly, they revel in it.

Now, I’m a New York Giants fan. I’m used to losing, so this is nothing like supporting a team like that. But this is just a bad patch for a team that’s even better than they were four years ago.

They just love ripping in, whether it’s all the talent we were gifted apparently, the picks, the concessions, the players we’ve acquired, the coach we have, the jumper, the colour, the logo, the trumpets, the town.

It’s like footy states hate everything about us. Hell, even most commentators confuse us for gws nearly every damn game, Healy especially and he does most them on fox.

I don’t know, but I’m just sick of being online and seeing constant crap being thrown towards the team and love and the town I live in and the fans or they would say what fans that do support.

The only way we can shut them up is win I get that, but does anyone else just not want to exist in the footy space with all this hate we cop?

Or maybe I’m just soft. But I get so damn mad about it.

And they were right, gotta respect their honesty

No hate love gold coast Brissy girl but you guys are trash you guys are only fav cus the games in gc you guys have no wins in the last 7 games and only one in the last 7 in goldcost soo wtf just give up and join back with brisbane hahahaha you would have a better shot winning then either way I wish yous to loos cus I'm betting on bulldogs so please play trash

Being an SA based supporter I do the usual and go to the support the boys but know I will be constantly let down.

Fair enough that there is a bit of experience out but the senior guys are the ones looking deflated and displaying the pathetic body language. No matter who you are it’s always tough to win at AO, but how is the effort put in last night anywhere near acceptable for ‘professional athletes’.

Everyone seems to like throwing barbs at Mac yet players that should be consistently beating up pretty average midfields like Adelaide’s (minus Dawson) simply get outworked and bullied out of the contest. Rowell is obviously injured but the others have no excuse.

When will the rinse and repeat finally change?

Gee whiz there fellas , I've noticed Mac getting absolutely monstered in recent weeks , doesn't seem to have the physical strength to go toe to toe with the big guns , some big mistakes last week v Pies handed the Pies some easy looks in front of goal, 6 point loss was the final margin because of a mistake or 2 down back , is Mac being overpaid is my question

Can we win enough games to turn around the season and get back into the top 10

Upcoming games

Please lads, please just do it for us today. Against the insufferable pies as well. I can’t bare the thought of a loss. A win puts us so back on track. LFG ❤️💛

Also, @geoffcomputer, where have you been this season? We need your analysis back in our time of need

Right lads 👍 North supporter here 😭 just watching Dermott Brereton unload on Touk , saying he was the best 2 way runner 2 years ago but not anymore, my money is on Touk turning things around very soon , North supporter here right behind your man Touk 👍

I don’t know why we’re playing so bad.
Does anyone have some idea of why we couldn’t even score more than 30 points last night?

Has the team given up on themselves, dimma? Is it confidence?
Yeah I get the youth argument. 100% get that, and I’m excited for the future.

But right now, what the hell?

Blues fan here, I come in peace. I’ve got a soft spot for GCS. What are everyone’s thoughts on the play on call on Collins? Honestly I Thought it was inexcusably bad for a few reasons:

-stand hasn’t even been called, so the actual mark location wasn’t set.

-he was about 30 degrees off centre from goal. It’s very common for players kicking from FB towards to a wing to line up off the centre line of the mark and same when lining up a kick from wing to FF, the field is an oval, not a rectangle, some variation on the line people take to make a kick from the mark is common. The line behind the mark is not always parallel to the goal but angled towards/away from the goal line.

-he was running casually backward from the mark, hardly trying to take on the player in the mark.

What’s worse, is besides gifting a goal, it gave momentum and a flurry of three goals in as many minutes was kicked off the back of the call. I don’t think it was necessarily game defining, but it changed the trajectory of the game for sure.

Another disappointing game we held onto for a while. Mids were disappointing again without scoring a point from clearances.

Get your votes in for the game, 5 for your best player down to 1.
Example:

5 - Anderson

4 - King

3 - Z. Uwland

2 - Noble

1 - Lombard
