Review AFL R3 vs Adelaide @Metricon 1:05pm Sunday 21st June

[Gorringe Can Suck One]

I'm wary but not nervous. I think the circumstances around the win vs West coast and the win vs Sydney are fundamentally different now that I trust the group to back up more than we did for that Carlton game

Sloane just had a corky, right? 8 day break, he'll be fine. Kelly might miss with the concussion.

Unless you have a corky like Howe had last year, which he was out for 8 weeks haha.

Sloan had a high grade contusion according to Crows and did not finish the game. Not saying he will not play and his corkie is the same but do you remember Ainsworth, Hanley and St. Kilda Geary corkies?

If you are fit and you are best 22 then bloody well play.
It’s only a winter sport. We have only 15 games left.
If we are out of contention for the finals later on in the year then sure put players away, get their surgeries done and experiment by playing the youngsters and fringe players then as you have the carrot of a nice draft pick if our ladder position slides.
If Ellis is fit play him.
Rankine/Thompson are another story as they need some genuine practice and confidence building so they can then play First Grade feeling ready to rock and roll like we do at Cooly Rocks.

stop making me feel homesick

Me too............

No changes , Swallow can come in later for young players when their form drop or injured players. A fresh Swallow will be a bonus if GC somehow make it to top 8 and play final.

We definitely need to keep him fresh at this point of the season - how many games has he played in the last 3 months?

 

[Mini GF]

GorringeSucks/Choppers I apologise

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Pretty confident, Suns 40+ , Anderson Rising star nom

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

Harbrow playing a different role this year? Seems to not be rebounding

Was also playing on the ultra-dangerous Liam Ryan, so probably just more defensive game from him.

If that happens, I don’t know what I will do. Had too many red last Saturday. If we won twice in a row.

Last year we were in a similar situation after the win from Carlton all the hype then a disappointing loss to Adelaide.

Something about the weekend felt far more mature, I don't think there'll be a similar result this time.

I wanna go Sunday pleeeeeeeease

Agree. Those games last year just scraped over the line, but this was one very different. Not just the scoreline, but the manner of how they played.

Wish I could make it. Hopefully have a chance when the lads play in Melbourne later in the year if they give an opening to opposition support.

There is talk of 10,000 allowed by round 5 in Victoria

I'm confident that your mob will overcome the hoodoo and finally beat - and convincingly - the Crows this weekend. Would love to get tix but presumably the 2000 will go solely to Suns' members/partners/etc.?

 

[Billy ray]

any one got an email from the club yet re tickets???

Will be a very small percentage allowed for Crows - maybe for player family members or that sort of stuff.

50-100 supposedly

In the Mix.

Skipper David Swallow will be available again after serving his one-game suspension and should come back into the side for the match against Adelaide on Sunday at Metricon Stadium.

Brandon Ellis will be striving to prove his fitness this week after managing a calf injury over the last few weeks and could add some more run to the side.

There were a number of standouts in the scratch match against West Coast who could also come into consideration for Round 3.

Will Brodie was one of Gold Coast’s best in the midfield and was named as an emergency for last week’s match.

Peter Wright is another in the conversation after performing strongly up forward against the Eagles’ reserves.

Defender Jack Hombsch was unlucky to miss out in Round 2 and could come into the senior selection frame to bolster the defensive unit.

Draftee Sam Flanders has been knocking on the door with superb pre-season form and played well in the scratch match, but could have had a bigger impact on the game.

Second-year forward Josh Corbett also impressed in the forward line with a handful of goals.

In the Mix: Round 3

It will be a tough call for the selection committee this week to make changes to the team after the comprehensive victory over West Coast in Round 2.

Corbett is an interesting proposition.

Gives us something different we don't have as a lead up mid-sized forward.

In drier conditions depending on the match up, he may come into the fold.
