Bright future ahead for the Suns but inexperience cost them

The game didn’t pan out the way that they wanted it to but there were glimmers of hope from their young guns.  

Jacqui Yorston and veteran defender Leah Kaslar in particular were shining lights in an otherwise disappointing performance. 

To make the finals in their first season is a credit to them when not many people could have predicted this outcome for the expansion team.

Unfortunately for the Suns, it was their inexperience that was the killer of their bid for the prelims.

Allowing the Dockers to use the overlap handball especially in the forward half allowed them to hit the Suns where it hurt and score heavily. Sabreena Duffy certainly capitalised on these opportunities, kicking another three goals, as did Gemma Houghton kicking two.
