[foxdog50]

Thinking we'll find out tomorrow as a few of the guys will likely share plane photos

Any news?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Any news?

Pretty sure only one traveling EMG .

Sub either doll or MOC .

 

[mcwilrob]

I reckon Esava makes the team sheet this week.

Please NOOOOOOO!!! Don't need to see him in hoops again unless there's some RADICAL and SUSTAINED improvement.

 

[mcwilrob]

O’Connor emergency, so you’d assume he’s the sub.

Esava also listed as emergency is interesting. Wonder if there’s any chance he’s a late in. Scott has said for weeks he wants to have a look at him before finals, perhaps one of the talls also gets a rest

What the **** is there to look at? He's no friggin good! FFS

 

[cats_09]

Any news?

Dangerfield should stick to football - he's not much of a bowler as per previous page

 

[cats_09]

Chucker

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

Agreed. He's a solid player but I think he's likely reached his ceiling.

Personally, I've no issue with him being in our best 22 come finals but I also have no issue if he's not included.

Could be a candidate for sub for our September campaign.

Yeah just like how Stewart reached his ceiling when he was 24
Fans are so quick to judge. Some players just take a bit longer to develop. Zuthrie is a way off his ceiling

 

[Generalissimo]

My guess Atkins would be the first to think of doing that.

Smith and Hawkins would be the other two obvious candidates.

 

[year of the cat]

I think Zuth is a fair way in front. Verstatile, can hold a forward, take a grab and link up

And is markedly better by foot.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

Just my opinion mate. Don't take it personally.

 

[Jirik13]

I'm quite surprised it took them less than a season to work out he's a list clogger

It'll be interesting to see what GC do in terms of list management as he's still contracted for next year, but seems pretty clear he's not in contention to play senior football

Constable is not contracted for next year.

 

[FredLeDeux]

Constable is not contracted for next year.

Crikey, why not?

 

[Strange Cat]

Crikey, why not?

List clogger

 

[Jirik13]

Crikey, why not?

He got just 1 year contract. Suns got him for depth. No midfield injuries so no opportunities for him. Suns putting games into Davies. Bowes ahead of him and so on. I doubt he gets extension. Plays decent footy in VFL.

 

[FredLeDeux]

He got just 1 year contract.

Well, that's the last time we gift you lot a potential superstar

I like Davies, good prospect, has a bit of Joel Corey about him.
Bowes another Cairns kid, hasn't had a lot of opportunity this year, can play too.

Do you like your team's chances at Metricon? Dew has been known to pull off an upset...

It's strange how players like Constable dominate at VFL level but are missing that je ne sais quoi required for AFL. Maybe if he was given a block of two or three games at AFL he'd surprise the MC.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Based on this, what sort of crowd should we expect on Saturday...

Crowds are usually good at Carrara. It’s a terrific venue.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

A couple of months ago I had this chalked up as our only loss for the rest of the year… now we’re playing well above anyones expectations and I can’t even seeing us dropping a dead rubber, completely different team this year

This is the type of game we usually lose

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Ticketek chick was not sure if we had to do both (buy seats AND admission)
said ring the club. Who knows, it's Qld.

The times I’ve been to Carrara, everything was included, just went straight in.

Wish I’d known you were going, I’d have invited myself

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Based on this you'd assume Danger misses again and maybe MOC injured.

I’d prefer Danger’s 300th at KP

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Is there anyone in Geelong this weekend? I just got tickets for this one and it is almost sold out.

It’s a terrific time of year to head to Qld

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Suns have worked their backsides off in a long season with a big injury list. They are out of the running now and my guess is their minds are likely turning to holidays in 10 days time. We are also playing much better football so I can't see us losing. I reckon Danger was as much about a bit of management and where he plays his 300th as his "tight" calf. Late out didn't make it look disrespectful to the Saints as resting him would have with Selwood, Blitz and Rohan already out. He'll play this week and next. They won't want his 300th distracting everyone in the lead in to a final.

Just wondering why: “They won't want his 300th distracting everyone in the lead in to a final.” Danger’s 300th would be distracting leading into Finals. It could also potentially buoy team morale for Finals. Interested to understand your reasoning

Zuthrie is putting in the hard work + has increased his bulk. He’s 24yo, how much more physical development is expected? Best season so far with four goals. Good to see him leaving whipping boy status.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Jezza and hawk to combine to kick over 10 goals, with hawk unselfishly giving off another 5.

Suns will have no way to stop them, they would need a Noah Anderson miracle

Put the lid back on, before you jinx us, Phipppppa
