Yeah, I also struggle watching live.

Boys look good physically, we should be ok. Just praying for a good run with injuries.

It will be on round 1. Surely, we can make more than 3 tackles per quarter like against GWS in 3rd quarter.

Yeah that quarter will be good ammunition for Dew. We usually respond well after a poor showing.

I’m still a bit concerned about our lack of pace with the current outs.

And I thought I was the only one.....hence why I never comment on "gameday"

Funnily enough yes - but only because it was against a severely depleted WCE.

I’ve been emotionally scarred from the disappointments of the past. I even have trouble watching our games live on TV. Too stressful.

With our draw the way it is though, it looks like a measured run into the season rather than bursting out of the gates in Round 1 only to fade mid season might be to our advantage.

Too many games and years of yelling at the TV then wondering why I just wasted three hours of my life when I could’ve been doing something enjoyable and useful. Now I just check the score at the end of the match for instant results. Then watch the replay win or lose.
Strangely enough I’m perfectly fine at live games. I think being able to see the whole ground and yell directly at the umpires helps.
 
I'm nervous too. After twelve seasons, we've been conditioned. I'm always so optimistic leading into a season, but our preseason games have left me uneasy. I hope we have pressure and we can hit our targets.

Might be joining you soon. Looking to retire to the Land of Smiles in a few years hopefully.

Boys don’t understand why I can’t watch live
I’ll actually do the gardening or housework until the games over
I even struggle to go live these days
The Club still gets my membership dollars even if I don’t go

SUNS skipper 'certain starter' for R1 after match sim hammy scare

Touk Miller is all systems go for round one against Sydney, with the Gold Coast co-captain declaring himself a certain starter after overcoming a hamstring niggle.

Certainly settles the nerves a bit. We're probably a 5-6 goal better team with Touk playing. Add King in for a full match and it probably renders another 3-4 goals for us.

I'm probably more concerned about finding a way to stop Errol Gulden.

Aus. Gov requested my presence back in Aust. for 2 yrs, 2012-13, and I was able to get to see the Suns live for a few games back then. Even got to march around Metricon, as a Foundation Member, at one of the games......it was a real feel good experience.

Put it on your bucket list, and get it done......Cheers
 
FYI: Guys, I was at the club this morning and a dozen of the team were in the cafe. They looked upbeat.
It was also good to see Caleb Graham and Lukosious spend a lot of time practising evading a defender and executing short passes.
It made me feel a little better after the weekend.
Let's hope the intraclub goes well on Friday.

If things go well, I may be making some business trips down there in the future!

Interesting info from Ralph. Lemmens minor calf. Surely, Weller will not go straight in. Otherwise, it could be spot on best 23 (if Rosas is ready).
GOLD COAST'S PREDICTED 23

B: C Constable, S. Collins, B. Long
HB: C. Ballard, C. Graham, J. Farrar
C: B. Ellis, T. Miller, E. Hollands
HF: J. Jeffrey, M. Chol, B. Ainsworth
F: J. Lukosius, B. King, N Holman
FOLL: J. Witts, M. Rowell, N. Anderson
I/C: D. Swallow, A. Davies, S. Flanders, L. Weller
Sub M. Rosas Jnr

Notable absentees: W. Powell (hamstring), B. Humphrey, A. Sexton, B. Fiorini, L. Casboult,
Jon Ralph’s selection dilemmas: Plenty to ponder for Stuart Dew, with Supercoach favourite Charlie Constable a lock given Sean Lemmens won’t come up for round 1 with a minor calf issue.

The question is what happens by round 3 with Farrar, Long and Lemmens potentially picked ahead of him?
Caleb Graham is probably needed as the third defensive tall given the Swans will play three talls in attack.
Bailey Humphrey missed the weekend with a cut foot so won’t make his round 1 debut.
At times the Suns played all of their talls in Ben King, Levi Casboult, Mabior Chol, Jack Lukosius and Joel Jeffrey and it didn’t really work.
So Casboult could get squeezed out for round 1, with Friday’s main training session giving another chance for them to consider that mix.
Similarly, Tom Berry, Jeffrey and Mal Rosas are probably fighting for the last small forward spot alongside Nick Holman and Ben Ainsworth.

Lachie Weller (ACL) has progressed so fast from his ACL tear that he will now play football in round 2, and although it will likely be VFL there is a chance he could come straight back into the senior side.

Here is Swans from the same article.
SYDNEY'S PREDICTED 23

B: D. Rampe, T. McCartin, B. Campbell
HB: N. Blakey, P. McCartin, J. Lloyd
C: D. Stephens, C. Mills, J. McInerney
HF: I. Heeney, L. McDonald, W. Hayward
F: T. Papley, L. Franklin, E. Gulden
FOLL: P. Ladhams, C. Warner, L. Parker
I/C: O. Florent, J. Rowbottom, H. McLean, H.Cunningham
Sub S. Reid
Notable absentees: A. Sheldrick, T. Hickey (calf), R. Clarke (hamstring), R. Fox (calf), A. Francis
Jon Ralph’s selection dilemma: Sydney’s key tall stocks are suddenly looking more encouraging, even if many of those players have had severely limited pre-seasons.
Lance Franklin played against Carlton and Peter Ladhams got through despite several hits on the jaw, while young ruckman Lachlan McAndrew played 38 per cent game time.
Tom Hickey won’t play round 1 due to a calf injury.
So John Longmire’s conundrum is whether to play McAndrew and Ladhams in the ruck or only Ladhams with support from Hayden McLean as Lance Franklin and Logan McDonald play as they key talls in attack.
Sam Reid played 62 per cent game time after his own summer issues and Cal Mills will slot back into the side after a finger injury.
So plenty of decisions ahead for John Longmire as he judges not just the names on the jumpers but how ready they are for round 1.

Seems like he has a bit of info. So he picks weller to be in the team Rd 1 but then says he'll be back Rd 2- probably vfl, maybe afl. Serious pressure on the back 6 with weller, Powell, lemmens and Andrew not far from returning.

I would expect Powell could be considered since he joined full training a couple of weeks ago.
