What Lions fans will be faced with if making the trek down to the Coast on public transport lol
Hopefully I haven’t offended too many buses with this post.

My prediction is we will dominate down back and Harris won’t get another look in for the rest of the season!
Don't forget Rosas is back as well, not sure who'll take him, McKenna ? , Brain?, Zorko?I don't mind Joe down back, he has a bit more body mass than Hippy and should be stronger in a defensive contest. He's pretty mobile and I think he plays on King.
Walter out and Witts in, makes sense that Smith stays in. Joe down back so he'll get the second ruck role, maybe more in the ruck than fwd. Big O fwd more. Morris, I think sticks to the 3rd tall role he's use to. Lester to Lukosious. I think Long is the fwd we may underestimate, hopefully between Berry n Prior they keep him quiet.
I'm thinking with the injuries and the patchwork bandaids around the ground, there is no way complacency will be a factor. It feel like that's been a problem v Suns the second time we play them in the season. I can see the midfield really digging in this game. They know it's their output that will determine the game. No Miller to tag anyone, they should get a good run.
I still think we can win this one, with the changes etc. If we play smart, play to our roles. We've been pretty gutsy lately, digging in when needed, this won't be any different.
I flew up to a game there a few years ago and sat in, and looked into, the sun all day. When the ball went into the shade you could not see a thing. It was Answerth's first game I think. The most common comment was 'Who was that?' rather then 'Ball!'. Robbo kicked a few.Anyone going down?
I hope we can get a pretty decent crowd down there.
Don’t think I have ever seen a game down there with more than about 13-14k?
And even then it felt and looked more like 8k![]()
I hate the place for that very reason but I am hoping that our tickets are far enough around that we won’t have the sun for long.I flew up to a game there a few years ago and sat in, and looked into, the sun all day.

I would never go again to that ground unless it was a night match. At the late starting time has the sun set?
Apparently, according to Evans it could be sell out (23K).Anyone going down?

Some sunset sun in first quarter.I hate the place for that very reason but I am hoping that our tickets are far enough around that we won’t have the sun for long.
Tbh I'd be still satisfied with 5th or 6th , considering as you say from where we came from.Tbh it feels like a 65/35 game in Gold Coasts favour. They've got great form at home, it's a local derby which they'll be up for, they lose this and finals for them are almost gone and we have no key defenders in our line up.
It'll be a frustrating loss and I think it will kill our top 2 chances, but even if we lose this one, top four will still be a chance for us which would still be an unbelievable finish from where we were earlier in the season.
It says 4:35 pm on the match day info.
Agree that Long has been quite impressive the last few games I've seen him play. Has turned into a pretty dangerous forward. Whoever is on him needs to be pretty switched onI don't mind Joe down back, he has a bit more body mass than Hippy and should be stronger in a defensive contest.

The top 7 highest AFL attendances at Carrara are all held by Victorian teams playing GC lol. 20K+Anyone going down?

When you do it real good you wind up like this!"Green stick fracture" - had one in my wrist.
But no, they're all considered a broken bone. My daughter even did a buckle fracture which is less severe again, but still considered broken according to her physio and GP.
Yes it was because it was surprise because the media believed it would be Dunks people think it was Dunks because Berry did a great job closing him downNo he didnt
NoIt was Josh, yeah?

No
The tagger doesn't always play in the contest I never said Berry played inside midfield I said he tagged RowellWithout rewatching the game look at centre bounce attendance; Rowell had 14 and Berry had 7

Surely Starc goes to Long? I don't think Berry needs a pure tagging role, our mids will match up well across the board without having to limit Berry, who has been in great form.
If King continues to have the yips that's going to be handy, but I also reckon if Smith is played back, he'll be more useful than up forward. Take away his need to mark and kick for goal, might reduce his pressure a bit.
I can see us losing, but I can also see us having a galvanising win that says we can adjust for anything.
Let's go take their home ground from them!!!
