2015 pre-season thread.

Harbrow must be one of the most underrated players in the competition.

This was a pretty cool survey on Reddit where each club supporter was asked where they expected to finish on the ladder at the end of the 2015 H&A season, and it was averaged out. Note: the question wasn't 'where will other clubs place', only 'where will YOUR club place'.

The averaged response for SUNS fans on Reddit was 6.67.

So if the SUNS finish either 6th or 7th, we'll technically match expectations.

i like how they rate may in the top shelf. i would quietly put thompson in there as well

Rory is very under rated. People already forgetting how good he was in 2013 unijured

This broke down while I was at work at Ayers Rock airport. Was stuck out there overnight haha

Fair bit of tall talent sitting in the grandstand with little niggles - May, Thompson, Day and Dixon. All coming along well.

So potentially 7 of our players could line up for the Indigenous All-Stars next weekend. Maysie you would think is unlikely and Harley has already been ruled out, but hopefully we see a few of the boys get a run.

It's getting pretty bad when afl.com.au can't spell Seanie Lemmens' name correctly

Gold Coast: Jarrod Harbrow, Jack Martin, Brandon Matera, Steven May, Jarrod Garlett, Sean Lemmons, Timmy Sumner

 

[Sunny_]

Maysie would be a long shot.

 

[Great 2008]

G'day Suns. Looking for your SC/DT thread had a question re Jack Martin. Has he recovered from injury? Is he likely to get the vest?

 

[Ben Drever]

The only vest martin will be wearing this year will be 1 that reads ELITE!

He's had a fantastic pre-season and been best on during the intra-clubs. Set to dominate.

Lol just put him in my forward line.

Schade article:

Without Rory and Maysie playing, surely he gets an extended run in the NAB?

 

[exile]

speaking of those two ^

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/that-time-of-year-again-rate-your-top-10-key-defenders.1088079

only 1 mention for maysie in this thread. none for rory. think they're all forgetting who were both in the top 5 for spoils last season.

Let them underestimate us, I say. Our defense is top notch, regardless of what Bigfooty thinks

Throw in Jack Leslie as well

Stack of players missing, but Tom Lynch carving up at the Suns match simulation. Three goals in 10mins.

@AFL_mikewhiting Any other stand outs mate? Terrible to hear so many missing!

Michael Whiting ‏@AFL_mikewhiting 5m5 minutes agoGold Coast, Queensland
@BigFootySUNS usual suspects - Harley, Malceski, Rischa. Liked a couple of Sexton's touches. Few missing with indigenous game + 6-8 injured

 

[Ben Drever]

May and thompson out injured.. Who the hell would be Lynch..?
Schade? Leslie?

Yep and yep. Not exactly AA competition he's going up there.

Good questions to Rocket on the website in todays presser. Key things I took from it:

Gorringe learning to play a Westhoff sort of role. Been training with the mids playing on a wing. Maybe third tall on either end as well as ruck.
Day training in the back 6.
May and Rory expected to be right for NAB 2.
Sexton and Saad impressed at intra-club.

Very interesting news about Gorringe and Day!

Biggest thing I noticed was that I could actually heart he questions from the reporters. I think that's the first time in any presser where the questions have been loud and clear. They're usually muffled or aren't picked up by the mic whatsoever - good stuff GCFC Digital !

Rocket seemed to be right at home in that video - loved every moment and answered the questions well. Impressed.
