wanted to come back on but they decided to sit him out the remainder as precaution and to give him a rest.Glad we kept playing it out though.
Any word on the Whitfield?

People are going to be harsh because of the final score, but you guys have been playing well this year (viz, Geelong to 3Q time last week, couple of close losses) and fought pretty to half time. The loss of Bowes, and our mids slowly getting on top in the contested game put it in our favour, and last week's last Q fade out drove that last Q scoring spree. King should be good for your forward line, Rankine too when he gets on the park, and if you get your full strength backline on the park you'll trouble lots of sides. A great result for us today - good reward for effort - but nice to see GCS improving this season (the reward in wins will come).Smashed us again. Pretty annoying for us up here BUT I do hope you win the GF.
4 points and a percentage boost is what was expected today and good to see Cameron, Coniglio and Cameron in good form and solid contributions all over the park and the tall forwards are working so well together I am sure a lot of teams are trying to work out how to shut them down.
The frees Mumford is conceding is now an issue as it can change game momentum and he needs to work out how to be competitive in the ruck contest without conceding so many frees, also the stupid free kick conceded by Taranto with the push in the back would not have made the coaches happy
Cumming is getting more accustomed to the speed of the game and although he has a lot to learn hopefully he can stay in the team for a few more weeks
Suns put some work into Whitfield and the team and coaches need to work out a way for him to work off the tag
I wondered about that as we all thought it was a pretty obvious holding, if it’s the same one.Taranto’s push in the side you mean. Also one of the Mummy frees was supposedly for a push / high contact in the ruck as he was reaching over the top to get at the ball. If it had have been the other way around it would have been a free kick against Mummy for a block or shepherd. Some of the frees against Mummy in the last couple of weeks have been paid purely because it’s Mummy.
The two rucks were holding and scragging each other all game, yet Witts got 6 frees and didn’t give away a single one. A ruckman who doesn’t give away a single free kick in 120 minutes of footy? Yeah, that’s legit.
There was also another incident I noticed right in front of me. Toby was on the lead and being held and scragged by the Suns player. The umpire grabbed his shirt signalling “held” but didn’t pay the free. He signalled the infringement, realised it was Toby and then didn’t pay the free.
All home games v Gold Coast need to be played at Canberra , GC absence of a travelling supporters base and poor performance on the field means all you can is expect is 7-8 k crowd. Play at Canberra who are desperate for games and you may get a couple of thousand moreNick Haynes.
Superstar.
Not to forget the other Captain Courageous, Davis.
Their intercept marks were great, again.
We play a few interstate teams there. Maybe that’s the plan.All home games v Gold Coast need to be played at Canberra , GC absence of a travelling supporters base and poor performance on the field means all you can is expect is 7-8 crowd.

Just a few tidbits...
I really like Cumming. Doesn’t do a huge amount (at this stage) but everything he does is classy. Really hope they persist with him, but you'd think as soon as Williams is fit he'll drop out. Has a real future.
Having Deledio in is so important, even if he's not doing much he's such a leader out there. Always seems to be bobbing up in the scoring chains.
Finlayson up forward is one of these moves that pushes an already very good to being a great one. Who knew?! He's vital up there, the forward line functions so much better with him in attack.
Taranto's kicking is subpar. Honestly will hold him back from ever reaching the top tier of midfielders. Just so hit and miss, with so many wobblers and floaters.
Daniel's brings so many great attributes to the team, and a choice of him and a fit Langdon I'd almost take him, but his finishing skills are really bad. Must work on this.
