2nds Gold Coast Reserves: Title Defense 2024

[SUN OF A GUN]

Hopefully playing forward gave Read some tips on what he needs to do to get on top of his opponents. I think he will make a good defender.

Same with Graham; I’m sure he learned plenty. These kids are young. Let them develop and play and learn.

We’ve burned through our top picks in the past and run them into the ground by forcing the weight of the club on their shoulders.

How much time did Read play in forwards? Thought he would have been rucking since Moyle was out.

Looks like Goober gave us a bath in the ruck.

I think thats prob standard against most opposition players. Crossley usually dominates the ruck for a man his size.

Looks like the only GC players to get coaches votes was Budarick and Brock

Read starting to learn his trade in defence.

Two Burleigh boys Addinsall and Gulbin on debut. I'm guessing we got a special exception for bottom ager Addinsall like we did for Lombard last year?

Ellis is a turnover king

 

[Big Red Machine]

Suns by 44 at qtr time.

 

[Jirik13]

Useless Carlton

Ellis and Macpherson terrible ball users. But we already know that.

 

[Jirik13]

2nd quarter - Suns turn to deliver terrible performance

 

[robo_1]

Ellis is a turnover king

I only watched the first quarter and he is cooked

 

[Jirik13]

I have to say I worry that Budarick will not make it. Lost a step or two, no urgency, half efforts in contest. Lost motivation?

 

[Jirik13]

Gulbin showed something. Good size.

 

[Jirik13]

Best players - Fiorini, Atkins, Casboult, Day, Farrar, Graham.

I’ll be interested to see what changes you think we should make for next week.
You’ve been a great judge this year.

I know nothing

What I think and what Dimma does is not necessarily the same.

One change will be Flanders replacing most probably Davies.

Rosas was listed as 1 week on injury list. If he is ready, he is replacing probably Rogers.

That's it for me.

There could be more changes, Day > Walter, Fiorini > Johnston.

 

[Phlanispo]

Will be interesting to see what the team's plan for Will Graham is. 26 disposals at 69% DE, 8 tackles, 7 clearances. Should the club reward form with another senior game or is it better for his development to stay in the 2's?

Personally I’d have him in the team, he’s a much better skilled, younger version of Holman ( tough as nails)

Reminds me of James Rowbottom at the Swans

Holmans days are surely numbered.

Maybe Humphrey & Graham could rotate fwd/midfield with each other.

 

[Supersuns]

Id give Wilba a trial as a defender, played a bit of it as a junior, has good initial speed and would lock down well, could be an option considering how weak we are in small to medium defenders.
