...It leaves coach Mark Thompson to trial a new-look triangle offence, featuring Nathan Ablett, Kent Kingsley and Charlie Gardiner...
With the exception of Nabs....
We're going to kick 3.27 relying on these guys tomorrow night.

The unholy trinity.

I'm going to take some Executive B Stress Formula before I go to TD tomorrow. :D

Yeah, but Lonners has about 75% accuracy (what's he kicked, about 6 goals 2?)!

I still think we will win, we have goalkicking options from midfield, Ablett, Chapman etc.

I agree we have a wealth of small forward goalkicking options in ablett, chapman etc.

Just a triangle offence that consists of two woefully inaccurate goalkickers in kingsley and lovechild doesn't sound like a particularly potent KPP offence.

I would love them to prove me wrong though.

Go the hoops!

Lets hope the delivery to them is perfect and the indoor conditions somehow produces something resembling accurate kicking from KK and lovechild.

Find it hard to believe that GFC will play King becuase he is named. 99.9% that won't happen. Especially given their recent comments on injury management of the twin towers

Honest Opinion. If it be so let it shown now. The last thing we need is to have KK give us a 1 in 20 game and make it look workable. Anyway, even if they were all good kicks im not sure this is the right 3 to be used as the triangle. Who is the power forward? Nathan? , gees lets be fair, he should be getting the third defender. They are are all capable of leading on to the ball but only Nathan looks to have the foundation of the dozer with talent but not yet, please!
Normally Ottens would play the role but would a player like Spencer be worth a shot to mix it up? Are they going to play King in the sqauare? Dont know but three leading forwards leaves you target less unless a non leader covers the empty space behind the leader.

unholy trinity is a good call... kingsley and Gardiner shouldn't be in the same team... Kingsley is erratic enough but Gardiner is infinitely worse, imo he has no composure and cracks under any sort of pressure... all things being equal I can't see Gardiner playing more than 7 games this year and will probably be delisted at year's end
