Preview Round 15, 2023 : Gold Coast v Hawthorn, 4.40pm Sunday 25th, Heritage Bank Stadium

[Strapping Young Lad]

Changes and all that in here.


The list should be nice and fresh after the bye.

Fortuitously, the mother of my children had already booked a family holiday to Brisbane, starting Saturday before the game.

I didn't notice the fixture until yesterday...She's already said she will happily have a drive down to the Gold Coast on the Sunday, and drop me off at the game.

Yay for me!!!

EDIT: Changes - Only Ward for Bramble, DGB for Sicily if the worst happens tonight...

Enjoy the game - I personally find it a good ground to be a spectator at. Being in a t-shirt and shorts at the footy feels so bizarre but it’s so worth going to.

Hope we can bring that same intensity we’ve had the last couple of weeks, but to be honest expecting the worst. They’ll want to bank this one pretty badly

I'm interested to see the boys in the gym on social media. What does our bye look like as far as players getting time off? Is it mandatory 4 days or is that wrong? Could just be a long weekend for the guys coming up here I suppose.

When do we find out if Sis will be rubbed out?

Will Day said that some of the team are off to Darwin on a cultural awareness trip.

Can't help but endorse this from the club.

Tonight
Butler got off.

 

[Lawsy]

Going to this and think we are in with a shout.
If Ward is fit, he should be included. At whose expense, I'm unsure.
Not sure if there will be other changes unless Frost for Scrim as I don't know that Scrim can deal with Casboult.
Blanck to King and Weddle to Chol.

 

[TylerDurden]

Frost for Sic.

Ward for Bramble.

Haha, sounds better than half of them going to the Gold Coast on the piss for a week last year. Would've been fun though tbf.

It’s winter up here it’s bloody cold!

 

[Nugett]

Looking forward to this game. First game in a while. Not since we played the saints in the covid year. So long time between drinks. Hopefully get to witness a win

It’s 17 up there as we speak! I think our warmest today was 14 hahahah you are precious

 

[matey]

Ward in for Bramble and DGB for Siss

 

[Blackhawk42]

If this isn't another false Gold Coast dawn and they finally have their crap together, then this may be a preview of two sides preparing for future September battles against one another.

 

[Glebehawk]

Ward in for Bramble and DGB for Siss

Yep this is the change I’d like to see.
Ward on a wing and give DGB his chance.

 

[lethalselbow]

CJ just has to play at Box Hill. Missed a lot and form rubbish before that.

DGB in for Sicily? See how form us on weekend at Box Hill

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

This is the list of the highest-rated players by age in season 2023, based on average player ratings according to AFLCentral.
Age of December 31st, 2023. minimum of 10 games played.
I think it tells a pretty good story about where both sides are. We both have five players listed overall. Gold Coast's young talent is a bit older, with Ballard, Lukosius, Rowell, and Anderson all being drafted in 2017, '18, and '19, respectively, while ours is on the younger end, with both Worpel and Nash being the experienced heads in our midfield at just 24. Both sides clearly have some of the most elite young talent going around, but Gold Coast probably has more prominent names due to how dreadful they were in the late 2010s, resulting in higher picks.
I'm expecting Gold Coast to beat us, but it should be a good contest between two of the most talented young sides in the league, with one being slightly more experienced than the other.

We went ok without Sicily second half port game.

Just need to do it for 3 games. Stick it right up em

 

[Walshawk]

Frost comes in for Sicily.
Bramble goes out, Fenchie comes into the 22 and Ward to Sub.
Only Lynch is injured so Box Hill will be very strong after the bye with CJ & Wingard. Both teams playing back to back @ GC.

We'll win 1 of the 3 now. Just the Blues game.

Yeah but your cold is a mild 24. I'm sorry you still have to put on SPF 15.

 

[peetoo]

Almost a full fit list round 15

 

[MasterSamurai]

Be good to win every game off course but, if there's one win in the next two games, please make it against the bloos.
No one I hate more
