MATCH REVIEW
SUNS 17.12.114 defeat LIONS 14.16.100
Multiple Goals SUNS ; Lynch 5 Dixon 3 LIONS Taylor 3 Mc Guane 3 McStay 2
Best SUNS Hall (BOG) Lynch Matera Martin SUNS ; Martin Rockliff Zorko Hanley
Today’s game would go a long way in determining the wooden spoon winner and which team would receive the number one draft pick.
The first quarter started with little defensive pressure. The Suns got out early with cleaner disposal and finishing. The Lions worked their way back with a greater work rate and held a slim lead at quarter time.
The Suns got a “Rocket” from coach Eade and scored the first of the second quarter. It was goal for goal as the game became more watchable but neither side could exert control. The Suns led by a point at Half Time.
Goal for goal continued in the third quarter. An exciting game emerged with the Suns kicking seven for the quarter and setting up a win.
As the game went on the Suns moved the ball in a more fluent manner. They continually scored goals on transition from a Lions turnover.
A good win in the finish for the Suns and bragging rights go down to the Gold Coast.
Aaron Hall was best afield. Playing through the midfield he had his best game as far as disposals go. Tom Lynch completely controlled the forward line and the Lions had no one capable of holding him. Brandon Matera and Jack Martin were two youngsters that the Suns would be happy with their development.
For the Lions Stefan Martin was the best ruckman on the ground, Whilst Rockliff, Zorko and Hanley moved the ball through the midfield well but often let themselves down with the final kick.
The Suns record their 3rd win of the year and consign the Lions to the bottom of the ladder. The Lions may have a better chance of victory next week when they host Carlton.
Overall good signs for the Suns and when they add their best four midfielders, who were all injured , they will hopefully improve as expected next year.

Adrian Dodoro should remember when Brendon Goddard crossed to Essendon, it cost them nothing and the Saints got a measly pick13 for compensation. After all Goddard was a no1 draft pick. Carlisle is worth around pick 15 not 5.
Saints struggle to satisfy AFL Bombers
