Prediction Changes for Rd 3 vs Brisbane

[Carbine Chaos]

Out - Ah Chee

In - Ainsworth ( handball, clearances )

Ainsworth will help in clearances , Kelly could be allowed to rest forward . We gotta try !! Night game also so slippery conditions will suit .

Throw Duggan into the middle, Watson down back, before ever giving Ainsworth a game thanks.

 

[Dark Sharks]

I'd get Fraser back on the list and throw him in the middle before Ainsworth at this point.

[Wild Kelly]

With the Crumbles having ongoing problems in the ruck department i.e. Darcy injury prone and Lobbe's preference to play forward, I wonder if there is an opportunity to trade a premiership ruckman or Hickey to them at year's end for an early second round pick......
We will still be left with Nic, Williams, one of Hickey or Vardy and a project ruckman in Jamieson.

 

[EagleMutt]

Pretty sure cameron didn't fly over to the hub so doubt he be playing for at least a month

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Gov gets a week. Not for the push into the fence but for a strike on Sexton.

Schoey or Rotham in for him then, I don’t really mind which. Schofield in to play on Hipwood with Barrass to play Gov’s role would be better in the short term, but it’s a good opportunity to get a game in for Rotham.

What did Sexton get?

 

[Mattman93]

When was the strike?

 

[FreeTK]

When was the strike?

Straight after Sexton ran in to him.

Gov gets up and remonstrates. Including landing one on his chin (looks like a jumper punch).

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

What did Sexton get?

Sexton got a fine. Gov got a separate fine for pushing Sexton into the fence.

 

[Barrybran]

Confirmed one week for striking. I missed it as well. He's probably lucky to not get a week for the push as well.

Looks a clean punch , Gov clearly frustrated .

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Would be justified in dropping 7-8 players on the back of that.

Nelson - didn't even realise he was playing until late.
Petch - as above
Brander - wing experiment won't work on the back of that.
JK - 2nd ineffective game in a row. I said pre-season that it will be evident early that he's not up to it, but Simpson won't have the balls to drop him.
Hurn - Worst game of his career? took to falling over everytime he was beaten in a 1on1 contest.
Redden - did nothing. Terrible disposal when he did get it.
Ah Chee - Started lively but quickly lost his way.
Cripps - did he play? May as well have stayed home.
Simpson - I appreciate he doesn't want to undermine the gameplan/message, but it doesn't feel like anything was switched up when we were losing. "stick to the game plan" can't be the extent of his match day coaching.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Not a lot in it but enough to make it difficult to argue that it’s insufficient force for a report. Silly by Gov.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Really dumb from Gov so in light of that 1 week it's Schofield in for Gov. Also in hunting and contesting the ball out that weak holiday crap we dished out.

 

[mad_eagle]

This stupid thing is that if Gov doesn’t get straight back up Sexton would have got 2-3 weeks for that...

He had 1 kick for the game.

And thats why it was a very selfish undisciplined act by Gov, he needs to pull his head in as his holiday hurts the team.

Ego needs to be reigned in and he needs to get back to hurting opposition teams with his football prowess, not his chest beating flakey tough man acts.

He is a senior player and that was a rookie error.

In defence of Simmo, no game plan or strategy works if we are losing match ups across the ground.

First half we were better than they were, but wasteful.

2nd half we fell away and packed it in.

Not just a senior player, he’s a freshly minted vice captain

 

[Time To Hunt]

With Naitanui still on managed minutes, I think we need a second recognised ruckman. Vardy would be ideal with his mobility and allows Allen to move forward (although may be used down back) this week.

Haven’t seen the words “Vardy” and “ideal” in the same sentence for a while.

He didn’t kick a goal last year and looked pretty bad in the Marsh series. Williams has been in the extended squad ahead of him in both rounds This season. Unless he played a blunder against the Suns reserves on Saturday I don’t think he’s in the mix.

 

[Godfather32]

Ah Chee started lively?

He had 1 kick for the game.

Well I mean it was in the first quarter so I guess in the context of his game he started the match a whole lot more lively than he finished it

 

[xInfected_Virus]

It's either.

Out: Gov (suspended), AhChee.
In: Schoey/Rotham, Cameron (if fit).

 

[Nev57]

i dont think simmo would panic ,govs out so Schoey will take his place, the whole team were flat ,other than yeo,shuey and a few others,however it does again hilight our lack of pace in the middle ,would be good to have someone to put in there to add some pace ,you could put sheed half forward, he can kick goals
brander made a lot of mistakes but hes just learning,the forwards had a hard night when the ball wasnt getting down there much and we missed some easy shots.The whole team looked pretty rusty ,full credit to Gold Coast that played great.
