[Sweet Seventeen]

Considering how brutal the game last week was I’m surprised he’s the only one not picked due to soreness.

Agree, could be a late out of course. Doc maybe.

Them …

King and Sexton in for them who have given us headaches in the past. Must win this

Must win every game that we play in for the rest of the season from here....nothing changes

 

[carlton_99]

King, Sexton, Budarick and Fiorini are all upgrades on their outs. Gonna be a tough match on their home deck.

Danger game?

I'm assuming that it will be tougher than the last time we played them....Carlton by 35

 

[Aphrodite]

JSOS sub perhaps.

Maybe

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Yeah but if Motlop kicks say 4 goals hard to see him getting replaced.

Good problems to have

 

[ESKIE]

no walk in the gold coast park this one,

us by a couple of goals (but the pumped crazy lid off esky thinks 5 goals)

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Hope Doch plays

 

[marcmurphy3]

Doch still in is massive. With Walsh and Cerra not back we have nobody to replace him. Would have had to spin Cunners, Fog (who is also out) or even Fish through there more.

I feel we are a bit tall with the 4 bigs but Harry needs to be in and this week against Witts isn't the week to drop Pitto. If it doesn't go great I could see us bringing SOS in for Pitt next week. Then we go with whatever combination looks better for finals.

Fog out another good test for us. His defensive work has been immense but provides little offensively. If we can maintain our pressure with Owies and Mots he can stay out. Both provide more offensively. If not whichever one has a quiet game can go out for Fog.

Curnow needs to be sub considering we've gone taller.

All helping us workout our best combination come finals.

 

[F_therest]

Fog has been good at pinch hitting in the midfield and attending some centre bounces.

Who do we think will step in for him in that role?

 

[Worm4]

King, Sexton, Budarick and Fiorini are all upgrades on their outs. Gonna be a tough match on their home deck.

We are ranked number 1 defensively for a reason.
Sun's will be lucky to kick 10 goals at most.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Harry just makes us better.
Carna Blues.

in with his usual late year appearance to try and see if he can garner interest from any rival clubs

 

[GeorgieBoyBlue2]

A tall for a small???
Pitto, TDK and McKay in the same team again even though we have enough evidence it doesn't work.
We found a winning formula but on the verge of securing a finals berth the selectors have gone and re invented the wheel when the wheel wasn't broken..... Are any of those 3 going to apply pressure or tackle like Fog??? NFW!!
JSOS would be a much better in.... his last game he was BOG but oh no the bloke with the bigger pay packet has to come in as us big heads can't have egg on our faces!! Absolute dickheads!!

This made my head hurt

 

[WyntersGame_]

Didn't think I'd being saying this at the start of the year but Fogarty is a loss

To me the fact JSOS is in the emergencies makes me think they are keeping pressure on Pitto to perform.

JSOS came back fireing last time so I think Pitto is the likely out if he is to come in.

Overall I'm happy enough. Would have preferred JSOS in if he was fit but I'm not going to complain

Cunners/Fish

50 games for Cuners is awesome. Never thought we’d see the day.

20 + 3 to win us the game

Game plan can’t stay static for too long…opposition teams work out tactics to counter very quickly. Gentle evolution and utilisation of different options will stand us in good stead (even if it doesn’t necessarily come off this week)

 

[Benaly28]

Very strong suns side.

Sub gonna be a big call….If we lose a small early and Jack the sub it’s all of a sudden makes us tall…he can pinch hit across all lines so you could make a case for him

Ed probably still gets the nod
