Review Round 4 vs Melbourne @ The MCG - Sun 4 April 3:15pm

[Mini GF]

I wont declare it, its for mr bods but this weekend game is pivotal for many reasons

It’s not one Billy Ray. We aren’t under the pump at this stage.
The focus will need to be it being away, it being at the MCG and individuals covering for Trac and Humpa.

I'm curious - are Mini GFs only ever declared in moments of desperation when GC teams are trying to keep their season alive or can they be declared when we're playing important matches like ones that put us in a good position to finish top 4?

Will be interesting to see who marks Kossie Pickett
His last 3 quarters today was consistent with advanced alien tech
Presumably Rioli

he’s been doing the same thing as petracca. Starting the cba then just drifting forward. Didnt see the game but 23 centre bounce attendances which is vast majority.

So combo of Powell into Rioli/uwland.

Communication between mids and defenders will need to be high..it was clear that a few teams were going to do that with their guns (k. Pickett, heeney etc.. already doing it last year).

Good thing that we’ve been training that setup over summer.. hopefully we’ve been training how to stop them.

No hard and fast rules but I lean toward the keeping the season alive, towards the end of the season I’d consider the top 4 and/or top 2 matches.
Can’t be overdoing it in calling games “Mini GF’s” or then it becomes farcical and I’d be ridiculed.

Is Gulbin up?

 

[Brenton87]

I want to beat teams at their best not have to rely on injuries or poor form

Is this proactive PR for when Jed doesn't get picked.
In saying that, wouldn't mind seeing Gulbin get a game.
I think he's shown a bit.

Rowell test.

 

[eppo67]

Rowell test.

For what it's worth l'm told he's highly likely

 

[Southern Sun]

For what it's worth l'm told he's highly likely

As if Rowell wouldn't pass a test

 

[KaySwizzle]

But Rowell in, even on modified minutes, would be a big uptick in our team.

Comes in for Humphrey, with some rejigging of the team basically.

I’m happy to give him an extra week if needed though. Still don’t really understand what his injury was…

I would say Rowell replaces Petracca and Farrar replaces Humphrey. Whiting think Gulbin could get opportunity.

The club said broken finger, had to use pins and screws to put it together (so probably not a simple break). Last week they said it's healed (bones) just need to restore mobility.

 

[Southern Sun]

My 2 cents,

Rowell> petracca
Walter > Humphrey

Maybe gulbin or Patterson > uwland, not fussed if they stick with uwland though.

Graham to take Humphrey cba's.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

I don’t want to rush Rowell but he’s an automatic 3 votes every game he plays

Should be able to catch daicos

Never been happier to be wrong about something. The Bull is back

 

[Jirik13]

On average Suns are 1 year younger and 14 less games.

 

[Young_Guns]

He’s back! How good.

Absolutely no idea who gets the nod between Walter, Farrar, Gulbin.

Fear the Red Bull!

8 on Interchange
In - Davies, Jeffrey, Rogers
Out - Adams

2 from Walter, Z Uwland, Farrar, Gulbin to miss out.

My guess Walter, Gulbin will miss out. Not confident, haha.

 

[Young_Guns]

GOLD COAST

In: M.Rowell, J.Walter, L.Gulbin
Out: B.Humphrey (suspension), C.Petracca (hamstring), A.Davies (omitted)

Wow I know he was playing Rowell’s role but didn’t think Al would be left out after all the positivity about his performance.

Hopefully Gulbin can shine.

lol you’ve had a shocker. Props to having a crack at trying to pick it though

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

cya Davies!!!

 

[Southern Sun]

Wow I thought Davies had been very good the last couple games. Graham to play more mid maybe.

 

[Jirik13]

I sure did not expect it, haha.

Exited how we will set up and how Walter and Gulbin will go. Surely we will see Read on the wing more.

Hey, maybe Walter will play in the middle like in VFL late in the game, haha.
