Gold Coast Suns in DT/SC 2013.

if he keeps playing the way he does then yes.. its just consistency that he needs, we all know he has the talent. you will find that on sunday he did 90% of the rucking because dixon wasnt playing. that would have inflated his score as well

Hi guys,

What's Lonergan's JS like? Much chance of him being dropped in the coming weeks going on his current form?

My personal opinion, I don't see him being dropped any time soon

 

[Quazza]

Dixon back this week?

His late withdrawal sure hurt

Nope. Still a week away.

 

[Dundalis]

How do Suns supporters see McKenzie doing this year? Potential 90+ ppg scorer? Or at least 85+?

Yeah I think around the 80-90 mark. Gets it a fair bit and probably averages around 20 touches? Just guessing though

 

[frozensage]

How sure is Dixon to return next week? if it's 2 more I'm thinking of trading him out now.

 

[CM Sean]

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. What's the story with him anyway, I heard he was injured but... I didn't think it was that serious.

 

[Sunny_]

Charlie should be back next week.

Any reason for that opinion Bagels? Saw Lonergan was named on a HFF - wasn't he drafted as an elite inside mid last year? He already has a big build too doesn't he? Should help him cope with the rough stuff at AFL level.

Thinking of trading him in to sit on the bench and hopefully grow in value, price is right - just trying to see how safe his place in the team would be

With hunt and rischa out, Jesse and really prestia are our real inside players, although prestia is real good on the outside. He has had 6 and 7 tackles from memory in first 2 games so deffs loves the rough stuff. Was built too well when he came to the club, funny an 18yr old kid too big haha, he had to loose a couple of kgs in pre season. He will rotate in and out of the mid from hff just to protect his body a little I presume, sort of played that way last week. I wouldn't expect him to score huge numbers, if he hits 70 this week I would be happy, more a money generator I would assume at least for a couple of weeks before he scores big, if he does

Cheers buddy, you've sold me on him. Traded him in to be my midfield emergency (with Viney missing this week). Hope he has a cracking game, have been lucky to get on Kerridge and Mayes in the last few weeks so hopefully the streak continues

No problem, he better not let me down now

Is Dan Gorringe likely to get games anytime soon?

Keep a look out and see if smith and Dixon (knee and ankle respectively) are fit for next weekend, both our back up ruckmen, gorringe and nicholls were named in the best players in the 2's yday, with nicholls best on. So maybe, wouldn't rule it out, however debatable js

Edit: it now seams there is at least one rucking role for the rest of the reason so js looks better, unfortunately

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Hard luck for Zac Smith going down with the knee. Who looks more ready out of Gorringe/Nicholls to step up? Or will Dixon go one out when fit?

 

[Sunny_]

Dixon always to play back-up.

Nichols has his nose in front I think.

 

[CM Sean]

No Dixon this week either.

 

[Krujan]

Sunny_ any idea if Dixon will be back next week or is there more to this ankle problem than first thought?

Should be back next week.

Is Gorringe the clear No#1 ruck option for the rest of the year?

 

[Jessbek]

Is Gorringe the clear No#1 ruck option for the rest of the year?

Certainly not, looked very underwhelmed today. Look for Tommy Nicholls to step up next week (I think?) and see how he goes. Then it will be touch and go from there on.

 

[CQSUN]

Is Gorringe the clear No#1 ruck option for the rest of the year?

No, Nicholls in with a chance. Probably 60%/40% in favour of Gorro.

 

[xisor]

Ok thanks for the quick reply guys.
