Preview Round 8. Gold Coast V Port Adelaide. CHINA

[SUNS]

Here it is guys

 

[SandyToes]

Nice that both teams are in decent form and still challenging

 

[vide0n]

Who spends longer on a plane? Anyone know?

Wonder if it matters or not with both teams being in the air for a significant time

 

[ajsars]

Think this game is a total 50/50. Who knows how each team will react in China. fingers crossed we handle it better!

Possible changes? None that i can think of, unless Scheer goes out? But id rather give him a couple of games in a row. Whens Thompson supposed to be back?

 

[TheSunGod]

The time has come to repel these teal coloured invaders from our motherland!!!!

 

[gcsunsfc]

Has it been determined what uniform we're wearing?
I'm much happier about the game if we line up in the red and gold

Thompson will play NEAFL this week as not going to play his first game in China. I would say no change unless any soreness.

Fiorini didnt do his recall chances any harm.

 

[ajsars]

Would he replace Scheer? Think they need to give Fiorini more of a run as a half forward/mid. None of this backline stuff.
Brodie was an emergency, he must be due for a game after the bye i would assume.

Anyone know who those players are? For some reason, I think Secco is one, Matera too. But I don't know what is making me think that!

 

[gcsunsfc]

I reckon Kolo,

He looks like he's got asthma
No idea if he does or not.

Well I hope it's Matt Shaw, Jesse Lonergan, Matt Primas, Robbie Gray, Chad Wingard and Ollie Wines..

Everything makes that bloke sick

 

[Metricon]

Scheduling this game on Mothers Day will require some careful logistics.

Needs to be lunch finished, visitors taken home, and return to base in time to watch the game.

 

[TARGETMAN]

i think the suns should send targetman and family to china with the team

 

[Young_Guns]

Doubt there will be many,if any, changes besides the guys with asthma. The only players I can see coming in are Bowes and/or Fiorini who have had a bit of a rest and maaaaaybe Shaw (dislike) depending on how many guys we leave out.

Intriguing match though. So many unknowns. How will we respond to the travel and logisitcs? Is the environment over there that bad? How will that affect our gameplan which requires us running off our feet? How will this game and the early bye affect our season? How much will Kochie b*tch about our guernsey? Will it be a sell-out? Will the crowd there actually be local Shanghai-ians watching their first game, or just Australian travellers/ex-pats? How much of a melt will Kochie have when we spank them in front of the 5000 or so Chinese folk who have any idea what is going on?

If a change is coming I would bring Fiorini back in

Especially being #8 in China

 

[thurls64]

Getting pumped now, anyone else staying in the Swissotel Grand Shanghai?

 

[Scotty_222]

Apparently Robbie Gray under an injury cloud, could miss due to a groin issue.

Just so it feels like a home game still
