Game Day 2024 Scratch Match #1 vs Brisbane @ Brighton Homes Arena, Thu Feb 22 5:00pm AEST

[GC2015]

Just 10 days to go until we get our first taste of Dimma's coaching!

We know neither King or Walter will play in this one and Weller is still recovering. Seems like everyone else is potentially available (correct me if I'm wrong).

We've heard the stories of tinkering over the preseason like Sexton playing in the backline and Long training forward so it should be really interesting to see how it all comes together. It's going to be clunky, we know that, but the strategy/gameplan should be more obvious this year. Personally I can't wait to see how Rogers and Read go. Hopefully Graham gets a run too.

What are you most interested to see in this game?

The game will be shown live on both Fox Footy and Kayo for those who aren't aware.

For me I want to see the fast moving hard running football we have heard so much about over the off season. I want to see who thrives under this new approach

Going to game. Just want them to stay healthy. It's just first prac. I expect sloppy game, plenty of players to rotate. VFL prac is played at 2pm. It will intersting to see how many players will play in that game. Looking forward to seeing what shape they are in. Can we see some aspects of new plan.

Looking to see where players are playing tbh. I want to see what Sexton off a HB looks like.

Would love some feedback on our young defenders, Jeffrey, Uwland, Budarick, W. Graham, Clohesy if you can. Thank you

 

[Supersuns]

Very keen to see if Uwland has made the step forward he should

BRISBANE LIONS v GOLD COAST SUNS

Thursday, February 22, 5pm (AEDT) at Brighton Homes Arena


(6 x 20 minute periods + time on)


Suns’ burning question: How quickly can Dimma make his mark?

Damien Hardwick’s high-profile move to the Suns has arguably created more hope for the club than ever before in its history. With the club looking to make finals for the first time since entering the AFL in 2011, next Thursday’s clash with Brisbane is technically the start of the Hardwick era, making Gold Coast one of the most fascinating teams to watch in match simulation. While we can only read so much into practice games, we’ll get an impression of how much of an impact the three-time premiership coach has made during his short time at the club — from the style and intensity the Suns play, to how committed players are to their roles — whether new or refined.

First test for bold trade and draft calls as footy’s finally back: Every club’s Burning Q

Can you not get the games over there mate?

 

[Choppers]

Can you not get the games over there mate?

If they're on Fox Footy I should be able, but their website is showing only the Pre-season games starting on 27th.......not showing any of the prior match sims...

Just five days to go now until we have our first look at Dimma's gameplan. We know Lachie Neale is going to play in this one so it'll be a really good test for our players against genuine high end opposition. How quickly can we adapt to the new style and will it work against the best teams in the league?

I searched for Gold Coast on Kayo and the game is showing up.

I don't have Kayo only the "watchAFL" site for overseas viewers which uses Foxfooty...

 

[kreglze]

All scratchies will be played on Kayo I think. Starts with Richmond and Melbourne tomorrow.

 

[ajhgcs]

I'm sure that they'll be on fox footy. Clicking onto the game on kayo brings up the fox footy logo.

 

[Choppers]

Correct......it's on over here now on "watchAFL"
Cheers

 

[Southern Sun]

Powell to miss Thursday trial with the birth of his child. Maybe Jeffery gets his chance to impress.

 

[sunsofanarchy]

Where is his commitment? Worrying signs

 

[Young_Guns]

So this is 5 AEST, not AEDT like the article above says right?

Hoping to finish early and head down as well if the whole squad is rotating through the 6 quarters.

 

[Supersuns]

Harry Sullivan, Leo Lombard, Zai Millane, Ben O’Brien and Nick Frances are all going to play with the main squad. Good to see our young academy kids getting a go.

You would think it would be A team first half, B team second half with a few mixed through the two.

 

[kreglze]

Pretty strong team we are rolling out.

Squad Announcement: Match Simulation v Brisbane Lions

The Gold Coast SUNS will have a near full-strength squad suiting up against the Brisbane Lions in a match simulation at Brighton Homes Arena tomorrow night.

Fiorini and Faulkhead battling it out for the other wing spot according to today’s Courier Mail preview. Good to hear Faulkhead there abouts now.
