Yes, but our next 3 games after this are against Port in Adelaide, Essendon**, Bye, then Geelong. 8 out of 9 games From GWS on are brutal. Gets easier after that but we want to do well the next few weeks. Next week is a must.
5 day break and travel for the Port game too.

Gold Coast currently paying $3.16 - good value if you ask me.

I think Weitering going down was just one knock too much; the straw that broke our spirit after weeks of playing the top teams, losing so many players, and then arguably our most important general goes down.
Voss will need to get them back up.
Now would be a good time to head to the Curnow’s

I’m tempted to wait until the end of the week to find out about any more training track injuries but surely Fantasia is done for a while.

I am sure I heard somewhere that Saad and Fogarty may come back this week. We have missed both of them.

Maybe via the injury list?
Saad and Mots 1 week. Fog 1-2.

If geelong pulled our pants down, and then GC murdered geelong, than ...


if weitering can't get up, i'm not sure it matters who comes in, we're in for a dog fight. they're fast all over the field.

Richmond beat Sydney and lost their last two games by 200+ points combined.

c'mon little buddy, don't forget tigers also lost 8 players to injury in among that.


point is gc are fast and slick and go back to front in a second ... our game is about first use and making disposal efficiency to not turn it over. basically, we turn it over, they'll insert the whole fist.

FMD I’ve got no idea about modern football.

I thought our game was about not following instructions, kicking it to the opposition at key moments, trying to do it all yourself and missing shots at goal that an under 10 player shouldn’t miss.

I’m going to have to go back and watch it again.

Nearly halfway and we are six and four . Not bad . Of course now is the time the wheat gets sorted from the chaff . Contenders and pretenders start to get sorted . Injuries or not we need to get a wriggle on . By hook or by crook we need to hang in there . We can start this week by getting hold of this mob and they won't be easy . They have wheels . It is all about going back to our signature contested ball game . Basically we have been tentative and wishy washy on our attack on the ball . Pedal to the metal boys , no shyness .

Look at what just happened.

Port went from 9th to 3rd in a second. It’s very tight.

Gold Coast’s win in Darwin is irrelevant. It’s like playing at high altitude in world football where Bolivia smacked Argentina 6-1 in a qualifier. Irrelevant.

Team defence is rubbish at he moment. Mostly from a midfield that can't/won't defend. Only 3 teams have conceded more points.
A strange year that a team that is 6-4 is 10th on the ladder.

Wouldn’t surprise me that TDK is injured, he was almost invisible on Friday night.

But we want the one to be TDK :lol:
4-0 with one ruck.

I prefer the one with Harry relieving. Gets him in the game too.
More run.

Anyone notice how slow Cripps was on Friday night. He didnt chase or fun after anyone. Amazing that because he gets big numbers that no one talks about this.. There is number accumulating and being innefective. Which i think he was on friday. The midfield itself was very very poor. Walsh well held, Hewitt not really sighted. Kennedy doesnt do enough in my opinion for how long he has been around and his body type.
