Preview Rd21 2018 Gold Coast v Richmond 2:10pm @ Metricon Stadium "The Game that Stops a Nation"

[Waca Jr]

Watching the highlights of last weeks GWS Melb game the Demons basically were playing against witches hats. Hope it happens again.

They look like they have lost hope and it's all falling apart.

I want GC to succeed, but thing are so damaged there now - trouble.

You mean GC not GWS?

If we bring our a-team, bring prestia broad etc back then tigs by 98

if we send the VFL side then tigs by 98

 

[Vassp]

Dont get too cocky. No game is a given.

Yeah GC. Not GWS absolutely. Bloody acronym named teams.

 

[Martin#4]

Yawn.

Nothing franchise. We lock in our top 2 spot this weekend with 2 rounds to go.

Maybe trial a few strategies in game to keep it interesting ala Rance up forward vs Fremantle round 22, 2017.

 

[tunksy]

no changes and play houli graham and possibly conca in the vfl on managed time?

This one is.

This one is.

If we lose I'm reporting this post to whoever can permaban a mod

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Very hard to get too interested in this game.
Might even just watch it during the week after, and watch Geelong v Hawthorn as an honorary hawks fan for the day.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

as long as menadue is an omission, we shouldnt concede any goals

Respectfully disagree RD. I have a long memory of our dismal years where we were a real struggling side. Now we are on top of our game, I'm relishing every single game. Who comes in, who goes out. Those who come in, how do they fit back in and are they fluent in terms of our game plan. Is Dusty going to go animal this week. Can Higgins keep continuing to improve. How is our defensive pressure going to go against a vulnerable opponent. I could go on but I'll leave it at that mate. Plenty to look forward to.

this one is. will the a.f.l apply the mercy rule is the big question.

Gunna have shorty make a late run for the coleman

gunna kick 20 each half

 

[AlorraVex]

Never seen a more dismissive preview, but that's exactly how I feel. Bring on finals already.

Would love to see Rance play full-forward the whole game just for a laugh.

 

[Zagami]

Let Turbo off the leash.

Get the 4 points and secure top 2 that's the priority and let's not underestimate anyone we don't rock up and down anything can happen.

I want to see us kick a big score and send another message to the contenders. We have not done it this year. We sit on top because of a superb defense and excellent pressure around the ground but if we’re honest we can do a lot better in the fwd line, maybe by not over using the ball.

 

[Drofder]

I'm very worried about this game. I fear this Metropole Oval place or whatever it's called wont have chicken schnitzel burgers. XXXX beer ? Great Northern ? Brrrrrrr......

 

[docko911]

I want this game to be the one that leads to GC folding...

Kicked plenty of big scores and mostly against contenders. But yes fwd 50 conversion would be a focus

 

[MosquitoBrigade]

Tiges to be up by 4pts with 20 secs to go and Karmichael Hunt jumps the fence ripping off his jacket to reveal his GC gear. Takes mark 30 meters out on a slight angle, slots the goal and wins the game!

Highest score we scored was 121 points back in Round 1. Not very high compared to the highs of other teams in the competition.

Sometimes we just need to go for goal instead of trying to find someone with the smallest angle and is the closest to the goal.

 

[Lsta062]

There comes a point when there is an expectation that the team sitting 1st after 19 rounds comfortably accounts for the team that is sitting 17th on the ladder in that same period - even if it is away from home. I have reached that point.

Seriously, we have not won a single interstate game so far. I think we also need to show more forward line potency. Yes, we are ranked second, but we all probably know how much opportunities we waste per game. Need to kick-start our Premiership defence this year by a statement game this week just as we did last year when we travelled to Fremantle in Perth and beat them by 104 points.
