Preview R19: Changes vs. Gold Coast Suns

[bigman]

Thilthorpe and Berry sore after a big contest. Don’t think it was too bad but worth keeping an eye on. Looked like a corky for Berry, Thilthorpe either winded or a knee knock, or both.

Curtin looked a tad sore during match sim and chatted with the medical team, didn’t seem too worried though. He and Soligo finished up early.

Jones, Nank, Bond all B team. Hard to predict yet who will come in for Cook.

 

[CrowBloke]

Gold coast is a seriously unlikable team. No team I want to beat more.

PA ferals, for me --- every time.

But yeah, after that the Suns. Hardwick's still a grub.

Are we training now?

At the same time as our game. Small thing but makes sense

 

[CrowBloke]

Hawks, not even close. It doesn’t matter that they’ve been good for decades. I can hate and also envy and respect at the same time

Me, ditto. Hate, envy + as little respect as I can allow, but some.

Yeah watched the game against GC (Pies) and you could see them playing through him on the spread, the day of "extractors" who do nothing else has come to an end, they need more strings on their bows.

Hopefully we don't get seduced by Matt getting 25 touches against a bunch of amateurs in the magoos

He’ll get at least 40 if playing full minutes. The 2/3s of his possessions that are uncontested and his inability to spread is what kills us.

 

[1970crow]

Yeah Gold Coast are right up there as the floggiest of flog clubs for mine.

Absolute nepo babies who have had everything handed to them on a platter including sooking and crying to Daddy AFL in 2019 that they needed both Rowell and Anderson so they could hold each other's hand and finally keep some talent. They have still barely grown their average home crowd numbers after all these years even now they're a top 8 side.... **** 'em

I just don’t get holding grudges against other clubs. It’s like booing players I guess, doesn’t make any sense to me.

Would love for them to finish 9th after the year they've had. Play 2 games in the last round and still miss.

Failing that, let them fall into that 5-8 slot and lose their first final.

Except Port, right?

Not playing til late Sunday.

 

[PeterSalt]

You bas....

 

[1970crow]

Nope, not even Port. Happy to criticise certain things, like Ken’s smugness at times or this ridiculous ‘foot injury’ that’s caused fatness thing, but nothing against the club as a whole.

 

[1990crow]

I guess as I'm in QLD, I don't hate them as much as you guys do. Selfishly, it often means we get two games up here but rarely do we go without one. Also, they've not been a huge threat - despite the copious handouts from the AFL. It's not THEIR fault they exist, it's the AFLs. Having said that... I agree with the not liking of the coach. And there's nothing more that I would like this week than for our lads to give them a spanking this weekend.

Having family live on the coast I have a soft spot for them. That and I lived up that way.

 

[PeterSalt]

Wasn't expecting Murray to be named

 

[Mutineer]

 

[PeterSalt]

 

[pjcrows]

Collins is in for GC.

 

[Golumless]

So probably Murray and Pedlar, reasonable selections.

 

[1990crow]

Collins is in for GC.

Good test for TT.

 

[TRP1996]

Presumably Nank or Pedlar for Cook.

 

[1990crow]

Have a feeling they'll go Nank.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Happy with either of Pedlar or Nank for Cook. Murray was a given

 

[Danger in Texas]

Good test for TT.

Unless Mac wants that matchup
