Ablett is their Mumford. Look how much taller we stand with mummy on the field.

Makes you wonder how/when he tore it. All he seemed to do was run in and kick a goal.
Yeah, look tears in the meniscus can occur and you don't really notice it. Then you go a do something innocuous and all of a sudden you feel it. Chances are he damaged it in an earlier contest, then it became evident when running in to kick the goal. That is why he looked so confused when it happened. The severity and nature of the tear will dictate how they repair it and the recover time.

No. He doesn't come back until he's 120% unbroken!

You're seriously telling a female to calm down?
You're brave
As much as I'd LOVE to see my boy again I remember what happened to Rockliff at the Lions and would rather err on the side of caution - especially as we're stilla chance at finals.

Im married to a woman who is 9 months pregnant. You dont scare me!
Yeah i do see the point though. With our luck lately he would probably break an ankle on a blade of grass at metricon.

If he breaks so much as a fingernail I'm dobbing you in to your wife
I've never liked the Metripong surface. Been on it a few times and always feels heavy underfoot.
Shiel is a big loss for the run in for finals but it will mean opportunities for others in the squad, would be happy for whoever gets a run, Kelly or Barrett and maybe Ahern or Lamb for the sub role? Bugg could be an outside chance to tag Ablett
Great to have Tomlinson back in allows an extra mid to be picked as he can cove ruck/forward/tall defender
Picking a very close game even with the Suns missing several of their top players and the other issues with the club. I see the key to this game is shutting down Ablett as they don't have the class around him to win without a significant contribution. Cogs and Bugg to keep him quiet and Palmer brings his accurate boots

Agreed, say it's Kelly or WHE in for Dylan, it's not a 100% loss, maybe an 20% loss on one player in one position.

This is a huge chance for Steele to take on more responsibility. If treloar is truly intending to leave then drop him to te neafl and give Barrett a call up

How about Tobes being more in the guts than floating forward and either Kelly or WHE doing Tobes' job.
Also, why don't we put Tommo on Ablett. See if he can shut down another legend.

Phillips could come in for downie. Cogs to run with GAJ. Kelly to come in for Shiel and Barrett to start as sub.
Tomlinson can play on Lynch, Corr on Day. Save Patful for the Cats.
Let Griff play most of his time off half back. With him and Heater down there one of them can play spare and rebound.

Loved watching Griff off half back, then again I think anyone who plays defense is awesome. Hopefully re-energizes him and gives his career the boost it needed.

Yeah... Tough one.. Hampton did well as sub. So not entirely sure. Whitfield had 16 touches.
See how we pull up injury wise.

First post guys
....Long time reader of this and the main board and member since 2012 so thought its time to pull my finger out and contribute an opinion . For this week Kellys obviously a definite to come in.Agree that Whitfield could be dropped for him as his numbers are down and he looked bit out of sorts against Saints.If Barrett doesnt get a gig this weekend its hard to see him getting a game unless more mids get injured.Not sure hes Afl standard yet though.Phillips for Lobbe although Stewart suits the team better structurally.Its hard to see GCS being able to match our mids .Had really low stats last week (Cairns heat a factor?)Cogs to try to limit Ablett....Just one comment about Patton.He looked to move well but looked huge in the legs.With the amount of running required today its going to be interesting how he he readapts back into playing.Hopefully he becomes the colossus we hoped he would become.

Gold Coast were terrible last week up here and would of lost to a junior team.
Can see your forwards and centre line being to strong in this.
