Season overview
The Suns have been one of the competition's biggest improvers in the opening part of 2022. After a slow start, going down to the Giants in Round 1, the Suns kicked into gear with a come-from-behind win against the Eagles. Their Round 3 match was postponed due to AFL health and safety protocols but they picked up where they left off in Round 4 overcoming the Tigers in a five-point thriller. The Suns have stepped it up massively from 2021 where they didnโt win a game for the entire season. With young gun and 2021 #1 draft pick, Charlie Rowbottom, bringing energy, excitement, and footy smarts, she continues to prove exactly why she was worth the top pick. The emergence of Tara Bohanna is starting to become a huge threat to the opposition defence. As head coach Cameron Joyce navigates his first season in charge he has done a fantastic job to keep his side in touch with the top six and well within finals contention.
Grade: B+
Considering the remainder of the Suns fixture and the fact that they still have an extra match under their belt, the Suns can start dreaming about a finals debut.
