If will Graham is ready I'd probably just go Graham for Lombard and holman moves to sub.

I think after that win against lions we need to keep Davies. He is exactly what we need in the midfield to help Rowell and Anderson. That big bodied mid to crash and bash.
I think in the future when touk and Graham come back in this side is going to look scary
B- Uwland Andrew Adams
Noble Collins Powell
C- Weller Davies fiorini
F- Miller Flanders Humphrey
Long King Farrar
R- Witts Rowell Anderson
I- Ainsworth Budarick Graham Read
Ins- Miller, Graham
Out- Holman, Lombard

Was just thinking about the two sell outs in a row and what's possible in this game. Richmond have a big supporter base, but they're obviously not going well this season so you wouldn't expect a huge number of Tigers fans to show up. We'll have to do the heavy lifting in that regard and this game specifically is probably a really good gauge of momentum and growth in terms of community interest in what we're doing. If we can pull around 20k again then that would be a fantastic result for us.
I had a few separate chats to some people at the game yesterday because I hadn't seen them before and and it turns out that three of them (two guys and a female) were GC locals and this QClash was their first ever AFL game that they've attended. One of the guys had already bought a Suns hat and I convinced the woman that it was a great idea to buy a pink hoodie. The third guy wasn't budging on buying some merch, but I thought 2 out of 3 in their first game wasn't bad haha.
From my perspective, it felt like a lot of new Gold Coasters were at the game yesterday and they were happy to get behind us/buy our merch to show support. This is exactly what Dimma was talking about after the Collingwood game when he said he hoped the GC community would recognise what we're doing here and jump on board. Hosting another home game next week has come at the perfect time to continue building momentum and convincing more locals to attend games / start supporting the club. Let's go!

I'd be happy with that. Lombard probably needs to build a bit more through the VFL and Graham is a must when he's available because I feel he's potentially going to be a game changer for us in September (if we make it). Give Graham a few weeks to build some form and he'll potentially be firing come September.
The playersBetter bring the effort and love of our city to this clash.
Anything less than that is gross disrespect.

Gotta squeeze Dan Rioli back in too for the Prelim
Assuming the Pink guernseys might be coming out this week.

(Talking about Rocket, not the Fish btw)

We are 50% in this guernsey. So there is a 50% chance we beat Richmond this week!

I was a Rocket fan.He just didn't have the backing or the cattle.I'm pretty sure when he left in 2017 he said we were 8 years away from success.He knows his footy.
For years people have been making this one same mistake when following teams in pink kits.

Flying up for this one, looking forward to the game. Assuming everyone is fit, you just roll that team out again, only change is perhaps switching Holman and Lombard so Lombard is getting some game time instead of just sub.

Will Graham a strong chance to come back
Good game for him to get his feel back hopefully
Not sure playing VFL is going to be any use
As much as I would hate honestly because I think his getting better every playing seniors I think he would take budaricks spot. Makes it good for our team but would be unlucky since I think his been doing wellGotta squeeze Dan Rioli back in too for the Prelim
If that is the case, Holman comes out for Graham.
Question will be do you run Graham out cold, or work his way into the team as the sub like Hayden Young has at Freo.
