These are the things the former Richmond coach must do to fix the Suns ... and drag people through the gates.
The former Richmond master coach has had plenty of time to draft his plans while roaming through Europe with his partner, Alex. Here are five things he might have jotted down in his travel journal – things he needs to address to make the AFL expansion team, which has never played a final, a success.What do the Suns stand for? They’ve been in the competition for a decade, but from one week to the next, you’d have to flip a coin to predict which version of the team was going to turn up.
If bringing intensity to every contest is the first non-negotiable, that should help protect the Suns defensively, but if this club is to survive in the long term, it needs more members, and Heritage Bank Stadium needs bums on seats. So they need to be attractive to watch. Hopefully, fans can look forward to an update on the helter-skelter, barely controlled chaos Hardwick turned into a winning formula at the Tigers.
In addition, they currently hold pick four or five in the draft, depending on their ladder finish, but they’re open to trading it to accumulate the points required to secure a brace of highly rated academy juniors,The Suns had a luckier than usual run with injuries in 2023, and that protected a very raw lower half of the list from exposure.
