Review Round 4 vs Carlton, Metricon Stadium, Sunday April 10, 4:10pm AEST

[luthor]

Congrats on the awesome win.

I don't go for the manufactured angst between our two clubs. I genuinely barrack hard for you guys unless we are head to head.

And as we all know, a strong Gold Coast is good for the comp

 

[Supersuns]

Holman, Fiorini and Swallow all should be nervous about their spots. Especially with Elijah playing good footy in the VFL

Ha fu** Carlton that was unreal. I'm so happy and I'm having a whiskey to celebrate.

Thought Ainsworth was poor today too.

Fiorini did his job I thought - didn't play much midfield at all and competed.

Others at risk, agree.

Luko with the group singing the song with a big smile on his face. Nothing on his knee - no brace, no strapping, no ice or anything.

We may have dodged a bullet there. I guess it looked more like his patella crashed into the surface more than any twisting motion. Similar to what Rowell did start of last year. Only difference is Metricon isn't concrete.

Actually thought they all were ok. Swallow got better as the game went on. Holman didn't do much but they love him. Even atkins did a bit as the game went on, probably because everyone slowed down. Sucks for farrar really thought he could get a good crack at it.

Proud of the boys. Best way to respond. GO THE SUNS

My immediate thoughts were jarred knee cap??

Lots of Blues at Metricon today

Until the 10 min mark of the last quarter, then the rats abandoned ship

Swallow safe he stood up at times when needed and put his body on the line

I thought Ainsworth should take his game to the next level this year he’s a very inconsistent player

How disrespectful every week Bounce shows the winner of the last Sunday afternoon/night game of the round’s song in the club rooms but of course because we won they didn’t play the winners song tonight for the first time this season. Grubs.

 

[KingCoasters]

One of the more genuinely enjoyable games I’ve had at Metricon. Decent crowd, which was majority blues but suns fans still put cheered them since we dominated 95% of the game. Still feel like a 30 point win wasn’t reflective of the game. But we also has a loss last week which looked much better on us than it actually was so I’ll call that even.

Nothing better than sitting around a few opposition nuffies and hearing them scream over being beating in a one on one and calling for frees

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Watching online - had a few interruptions and just got to the end of the game.

Our midfield dominated, lead by big man Witts.
Anderson and Miller great in the clutches.
Entries into 50 could still improve a lot. Luko was great early and made things happen.

Rosas and Rankine together look dangerous.
Chol looks like he can be a reliable source of goals.

Tall defenders held up very well against 2 very good opponents.
Weller was outstanding.

Some weird anomalies. We had only 37 tackles.
Miller was in the top couple of tacklers in the league last year - had ZERO tackles tonight. Anderson had 1. Davies 1, Fiorini 2.

 

[SandyToes]

You can say what you want but it’s 6-0 free kicks their way. Both of Carlton’s goals have come directly from free kicks. Touk being tackled without the ball no free. Ridiculous.

you probably didn't see Dave get knee walked on 10 seconds before that

 

[TheSunGod]

Very happy for Mally that he played well and kicked a few. He has some real weapons that I think will really help us the more he plays.

I just wait for the club to post it online rather than watch that trash show

 

[SandyToes]

My immediate thoughts were jarred knee cap??

Going up the race Benny A was really concerned talking to Jack but it looked like Luko was just telling him its fine

Maybe just took a lot of trauma? The way he stayed down though i thought he was gone. Daniel Rich did an ACL in that very pocket.

When Powell went down as well I thought for sure it was syndesmosis. Heart in mouth stuff.

Great for the guys in the VFL, too. Shows that if you're in red hot form at that level, you get rewarded. Embrace it, get confidence, get form, then play 1s.

He's coming off two games of 20+ touches and 4 goals or something ridiculous like that. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he looked very slick today.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

After 4 rounds

9th on the ladder

With
12th best attack
4th best defence

A pretty tough fixture to start. I'll take that.

 

[GC2015]

Another navy blue nightmare inflicted. The taste is oh so sweet!

Witts destroyed De Koning in the ruck by winning the hitout count 42-15. Chol was awesome again with 10 hitouts and 3 goals.

And what about Rosas with 3 goals! We have so much talent on our list and it's just so nice to see it come together in a match like this.

 

[Jen2310]

Well played. Showed them up. The midfield dominated. The importance of Witts cannot be understated over the last 12 months.

 

[Macca180]

Well done Gold Coast

 

[eighties]

Jesus can Weller play like that every week!

Forward line looked a lot more balanced with Corbett in it and Mally / Rankine crumbing looked more dangerous.

So stoked with that win.
