Team Song

(Tune of the Richmond theme song)

Oh, we are from Mexico!
Where the sun burns bright and scorches all!,

And all the people say,
We will win every time,
Our legacy is prime,
And if we sense defeat then we will pounce and fight,

Oh we are from Mexico!
And we love our nachos and tacos!

We're slow and we're old,
Still full of gold,

We are from Mexi....
Green, White and Red,

We are from Mexico!!

That's a nice looking logo you have there maca ;)

Thanks CF ;)
About to put my guernseys up now.
Thanks to C4, Appreciate it heaps :) Great work mate.

[Maca24]

So my guernseys are complete! (Thanks heaps for your help C4)

With our home strip, we have kept true to the colours of our beloved Mexico (Red, White, Green) and added a sun in the middle. Very  happy with the teams strip and I believe the fans are as well. Simple and Patriotic :)

Our away strip is very flashy, with a larger sun coming from the bottom half of the guernsey.
We are stoked with both guernseys and expect to see plenty of victories in both of these jumpers! ;)

PS. Also pleased to announce Cain Velasquez as the clubs No.1 Ticket Holder!
No doubt we will see Cain at nearly all of our home matches :)

[CrowsFan]

Yeah well Junior Dos Santos is my number 1 ticket holder and we all know who is better :P

Club Recruiting

Well we have picks 7, 30, 43 and 66 in the National Draft.

Pick 7 - young ruckman Billy Longer. We hope Billy can replace Sandilands as Number 1 ruck when he retires. We expect big things from Longer, and will develop him as best we can. Ruck stocks are set now with Sandi, Maric and Longer.

Pick 30 - Key Backman Henry Schade joins the Mexico Suns from the GC Suns! Schade plays a similar game to collingwoods Ben Reid. Lets hope Schade can rack up some disposals and do the club proud.

Pick 43 - Midfielder Daniel Pearce is now a member of the lineup. He is a skillful small who can play a number of positions. Pearce should get some games along the way and we hope he develops nicely.

Pick 66 - Mature Ruckman/Forward James Sellar is our final pick in the national draft. We are hoping James can have an early impact as a former first round draft pick. The 22 year old will be our Mr.Fix it.


Rookie Preseason Draft:

Picks: 11, 26, 47, 62

Pick 11 - Darren Pfeiffer joins the Suns as our first pick in the rookie draft! We are very excited about his acquisition.

Pick 26 - Mark Baguley Is now a Sun after impressing us as a mature age draftee. Mark has great skills and will be a solid rebounding defender for our club.

Pick 47- Malcolm Lynch is an electric small forward who we are delighted to have on our list, providing us with more forward cover.

Pick 62 - Late pick Matthew Lodge has the opportunity to prove himself at Mexico. The Half Back improves our defensive line.

[Maca24]

Preseason matches have been organised for the Mexico Suns.

In week 1 we will be playing the New Delhi Tigers.
In week 2 we will be playing the Cairo Sands.

We are eager to show fans how much of a force our club is, and we are expecting nothing less than 2 convincing wins!

[ossie85]

Fairly hot trio you've got going there!

[Maca24]

With only 4 selections left in the drafting process we have decided to reflect on our list in case a trade period emerges.

Positional Changes:
Garrick Ibbotson - Mid > Def
James Sellar - Fwd/Ruck > Def/Ruck
Darren Pfeiffer - Mid > Mid/Fwd
Daniel Talia - Fwd/Def > Def
Steven Salopek - Mid/Def > Mid
Jarrad Boumann - Fwd > Def
Dylan Addison - Mid > Def

Overall I'm happy with the positional changes.. especially Ibbotson >:D

I now have many defenders, and not so many forwards. Not a huge problem, but if a period emerges I will be looking to trade a Forward into my team in return for a Defender.
