Game Day AFL R2 vs Gold Coast @ Metricon 5:40pm AWST 13 June 2020

[Chris_6678]

Just realised D Swallow is out for round 2.

Really we should be pumping them big time, our % is 150 so we should be aiming to get that high early.

I thought ice is good for injuries?

Didn’t realise he had any cattle

He didn't do the slide

How do you guys play in wet weather?

There's a 70% chance of rain forecasted for Saturday night at Metricon.

Horribly.

Horribly.

We did win that slog against Hawthorn at the MCG last year. Hopefully Kelly helps us too, with a bit more inside grunt.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

There’s a scratch match on Saturday between the two clubs.

Assuming Allen for Hickey is the only change, the following players should be available for us:
Watson, Edwards, Cole (if his thumb has healed)
Johnson, Schofield, Rotham
Treacy, Ainsworth, Foley
Jones, Vardy, Reid
Williams, Waterman, Jamieson
Hickey, Brayshaw, XON

Boy that midfield seems light on

KPP is stacked though, some depth at HB and HF too. We know where to focus our efforts in upcoming drafts and trades. Fortunately there are always plenty of depth midfielders available, gun mids - not so much. Makes the Kelly trade all the more important.

Yet lost to Brisbane convincingly in the dewy conditions and stopped in our tracks against Tigers when the rain came.

I think we are getting better at playing in the rain, but I'd stop short of saying it suits us. I don't think GC are the sort of side who will bully us in the wet though, so it doesn't concern me in this case. It's a good practice run for Lions.

Terribly. Put 70% of your life savings on a GC win.

 

[ShaunWCEFC]

Horribly.

Eagles are 9 wins & 7 losses in the wet under Simpson.

I don't put much stock in that Brisbane game, we had a lot of underdone players who couldn't handle the conditions (some said in the media afterwards that they were throwing up a 3/4 time). Brisbane had also been talking during pre-season about how they were really gearing up to beat the reigning premier in rnd 1, so they definitely jumped us.

Richmond is a good reminder. We were unbeatable until that rain came down. A real sliding doors moment - win and we finish 4th, Richmond 5th. Makes me so angry just thinking about it!

 

[Billy ray]

60mm at my place in last 24 hours. And still she comes down

 

[ep2018]

Richmond game we stopped in the 2nd and the rain came in the 3rd. Rain or not we should be winning this game.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

*en pumped!

hopefully we win this well

I was at the Richmond game, don't get to many games so it was going to be a treat. We jumped them ok but of course they came back. The rain was a factor, but the moment things started to go downhill was when we lost Hutch to an injury.

Weird thing I just noticed: We haven't played the Suns twice in a season since 2014, and each single encounter since has been in the first half of the season.

Teams out this arvy?

I'd say it's traditional, but (to use a cliche) we're in unprecedented times.

Haggers did his scheduled run on "JK is injured" this morning. Normalcy is resuming.

Jaggers has been prefect on our injuries quite often in the last few years. What did he say?

Same thing as usual. JK is sore / pulled up sore from training.
