Great mental test, would be unsurprising if they got ahead of themselves after last week and playing against GC.

If the coaching staff can coax the same aggression out of them I’ll be impressed.

Me too. Think he'll spend more time in the middle (maybe 20% ish) than most expect if Lobb, McCarthy and Tabs are doing well. It would be pretty ironic if at a centre bounce we had Walters, Hogan and Fyfe all there at some point. All these years of struggling to kick goals and all of a sudden we have enough spare forwards to play some terrific forward players onball. Look out for Banfield to have a good game as well. Banfiled's 190cm with a terrific leap. If he's matched on either Harbrow or Peace Hanley he should have a terrific advantage in the air. Bailey spent extra time at the end of most sessions this preseason from what I could see working on his overhead marking. Could yet be a surprise goal kicker.

His marking is wonderful for a mid, so many times last week he put the hands up against defenders and brought the ball down when we were moving it quickly out of the centre.
 
Im just hoping our forward half lead up like last week, it might be a cricket score if we capitalize on opportunities.
 
Weather forecast says 26 (top), clear and less humid (whatever that means?)

Should be easier conditions than what we saw last week in QLD.

I’ve changed my Hogan prediction to 12 goals, based on that weather report.
 
Game day mother f**kers!

Freo by plenty!

Pork butt on the Weber, beer in the fridge, a fine weather forecast on the Gold Coast, let’s finish the round and weekend off properly!


Edit: apologies, I didn’t see there was already a Game Day thread. Mids please close this one and merge with thhe one that’s already up 🤦‍♂️ Allikat dockerfemme

You been sniffing the paint fumes again ?
 
4 things I hope to see:

• manic pressure
• really organised defensively
• good connection kicking in to the forwards from the mids
• forwards well organised so they are creating one v ones, good leads in good areas and isolating our best match ups, because we will have height advantages through the game

If we bring those things all game we will win.

Wouldn’t mind one of Brayshaw or Cerra racking them up for their confidence either.
Yeah. I think we have some improvement to come if Wilson finds form, and of course Hogan playing.

Really just hoping to see the style of play continue to develop. GCSs are well coached and there will be some tactics to disrupt what we put on the park last weekend. Looking forward to seeing us get around that.

In the purple, I thought we always wear the white for away games? Last season was too long ago, and mostly wiped from the memory!
 
Horlin-Smith a late out for Joyce (191cm). That gives them 4 talls to match up with us.
Joyce will probably go to Cam I reckon, IIRC Joyce is more of a HBF type so Cam’s probably the best matchup for him
