Good to get some midfield reinforcements back.

Going to be tough again - Gold Coast have been good against the expansion sides this year and have finished games quite strongly.

But with a Gold Coast fan melting on the main board about the fixturing costing them finals, it would be hilarious if they lost to us. Lets make it happen.

Yeah hopefully we get over the line here. If we get the four points what's the bet the AFL uses it against us to deny an early priority pick.

Van Dyk a bit of a loss. Good to see Richards at FF, hopefully rotating with Friend. Until Friend's fitness picks up, and she seems like a strong mark and kick, knows how to lead, having her roaming the F50 would be ideal.

I'd like to see Friend playing a bit higher with G deep. Friend is such a nice kick (which we dont have many of) that we need to be getting the ball into her hands and having her be the kick inside 50.

I think having both Richards and Xenos up forward makes us a bit more dangerous than we were at the start of the season.

 

[George]

Can we finally win one today

 

[Munga]

Can we finally win one today

But seriously. Suns seem a bit tougher than the Giants, but I'd like to think that we'll be even better than our last match too. And Geelong might be tougher afterwards. We have to nab one, today is the day.

 

[George]

Xenos with the 1st

 

[George]

Looks like we're up for it today. Exon goals, 12-1 lead.

 

[George]

We've kicked the first three! McDonald with the goal.

18-1!

 

[jwikked]

The Gold Coast guernsey looks amazing, what a great color scheme.

 

[Munga]

It seemed to click for us part way through the GWS match, and now we're going on with it. Great pressure and ball use. Hopefully Watt is ok otherwise we're one down

 

[George]

26-8 at the half, we are doing really well. Just hope we can keep it going in the 2nd half.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Afternoon all....


How goods this!

 

[George]

Stopped to a walk this quarter

 

[George]

Guttridge with a much needed goal

 

[Saint_Dos]

Stopped to a walk this quarter

Yep lost all run. KMac providing a bit here and there though.

 

[George]

We're in a good position here, up 16 at 3qtr time.

I'd expect the girls to give it their all in the last, knowing what happened last week and also trying to get their first win of the year.

Come on girls

 

[Munga]

We have the shepherds and blocks working well. We do looks a little out of puff, some of the Suns do too. Need first two goals and that should be it

 

[Yawkey way]

Dare I hope we go on to a win, after last week I’m just not game.

 

[BrutThough]

Gold Coast have come from behind a few times this year. This is far from over.

Fingers crossed we have enough juice left in the tank to get the win!

 

[BrutThough]

Not the start to that quarter we wanted.

 

[BrutThough]

Shierlaw had to kick that
