All good WYL. I just knew, in my opinion, that he did dominate against us in some games, but he is nearer the end now and not as much of a concern.

No Josh Fraser has never Dominated the MFC!!! Cheap stats do not tell a full story.

Given it is the GC's first home game, I think he will play.

2nd Home Game.....Carlscum were the lucky Bastards to get them first.

Has there ever been an easier AFL 4 points on offer???

Grr i despise Carlscum so much!!!!!

Ablett has been withdrawn from the Suns squad for tomorrow

confirmed- ablett out.

Gold Coast Suns captain Gary Ablett to miss clash with Melbourne

Great news.

Great news.

Pretty much guarantees victory. Even if we play shockingly like last week, we should still win comfortably.

Going into the bye with 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss- and still haven't hit 3rd gear- is not a bad result at all!

Our draw this year is really helping us. If we are even half good we should really make top 10 comfortably, and top 8 isn't without a chance

should the topic to this thread be changed? there is no doubt about it anymore B)

It's fair to say that I will kill myself if we lose this match... or win by less than 40 points... or lose a single critical stat.

MASSSSSSSIVE blow to the Suns, bahaha!

Bail will get a chance to roam a bit more freely, mayhaps?? Be a bit more attacking now that Gold Coast are without any dangerous players?

We SHOULD destroy the Suns now... obliterate them.

1.09. Line at 46.5 and we should cover that as a minimum.

nice i have them in a bet to win by more than 39 at 2.05 should be a monty now

Let's hope the Team still take tomorrow seriously....will test our coaches too.

Thats a great point. Carlton went in after the Rnd1 warm up game, and Suns were cold & shadowy for their first up game.

Interesting to hear he pulled up sore from last week's game when I saw him playing mixed netball on Sunday night in Melb.

serious?

there are a few rumours he kicked on til about 3am

on 1.5m you would want him doin most things right

All over OneHD/Ten right now, Ablett confirmed for OUT tomorrow

STOP PRESS!!!

The Word is OuT !!!

The ABLETT's Are Soft !!! No Tree Cutters here! They're all Silk these Days.

Put a Prawn on the Croissant with some Black Caviar! Please, esquire?

There was a lot of criticism about the way the Brisbane Bears were put together as a team in 1987 when they made their debut in the VFL. However, they were far more competitive to start with than Gold Coast so far. Most of the Bears players had spent time in the VFL system and had some senior experience whereas many of the Suns' kids have been thrown to the wolves. While some might benefit from this experience, I suspect that others are going to fall by the wayside because of lack of proper grounding.

As for today, I hope that Melbourne exploits this experience and lack of leadership in as ruthless a manner as possible. The club had its chances last week and blew them with a poor start but really, we will be the joke of the competition if we don't put this lot away early.

heading up to the game today

im a 17 year old getting up at a time ive never heard of!!!!

hoping to come back to melbourne feeling like we actually won and won comfortably

serious?

Yep. I wonder if that contributed to his general soreness? Bet that would make headlines

The million dollar man is a colossal out for the Suns, really should make for some interesting viewing if it wasn't already.

Hopefully somewhere is this training drill Tapscott gets a run up forward.
