Round 1 team v Gold Coast
- Thread starter evo
- Start date
Considering they have a 2-1 advantage over us and we only just pipped them last time up, I doubt we'll be taking the game easy.
Definitely
We'll know more in a week
1. Will Ablett train?
2. Will Jacko and Riewoldt play in next weeks scratch match
It's game time people
PS: it's nice Cloke gave May some mental scars. They'll be fresh enough for Vickery to run some salt into.

Yes, agree.
Forecast heavy rain in Cairns end of this week, with further rain following - http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/watl/rainfall/pme.jsp?ref=ftr
Further:
How many tall forwards Gold Coast uses, will determine how many tall backs we might need.
Their last team, a week ago, looked like they have a heap of players still to come back - Ablett, Prestia, O'Meara, McKenzie, Swallow, Rischitelli & Thompson.
So, they have a heap of injuries, or a lot of fresh or under-done players returning.
Their previous game, their win against Essendon, is probably a better indication of their final team - http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/nab-challenge/2014/1/gcfc-v-ess

Thank goodness for that!
Much better, little or no rain expected on the Gold Coast, over the next fortnight.
With that, probably tempted to go with
3 tall backs - Rance, Chaplin & Astbury
2 tall forwards - Reiwoldt & Vickery
1 ruck - Hampson
1 interchange tall - Griffiths
Although, a fortnight is a long time in footy circles.
I was at Griffith Uni next door to Southport sHarks today and it hammered down rain on and off. The last week has been rainy but prior to that it was a very dry summer
Injury update on the :shhh site
batch calf test
Dea ankle 1
Jacko hammy 1-2
Lennon knee 2-3
Maric ankle 6-7
No mention of Newy
Maric's injury time seems to keep extending

uhuh uhuh said:At metricon I am tipping Griff to kick goals from the middle of the ground
It will be nice if he can but that's 80 meters
Metricon is as long as Punt road oval, the MCG, and Etihad

Jacko won't be out there against the Suns. Commentating at tomorrow's clash with the Bummers so may get further insight into 'hammy' status

R. Shaun Hampson, Trent Cotchin, Miles/Thomas (for Jackson)

* Think they will play either Miles or Thomas as the Jackson tough in and under run role.
