NAB CHALLENGE: GOLD COAST SUNS v MELBOURNE

[pringle 42]

Sensational day here on the Coast.

Light breeze, blue skies. Should be a good final hit out and a great day to watch footy.

The "seconds" were always played in Victoria, in winter. A big difference.

Only a moron would schedule a midday game in Queensland: presumably DimWitriou was involved.

only half the seconds games in vic were played in winter. plenty played in 27 degree weather as forecast today

dunno about qld but in vic the hottest time of the day (max temp) is late afternoon

still i agree that all nab and pre-season games should be played at night

What are expectations for this game??

I'd like to know from those focused on results what would be an acceptable scoreline.......

Talk about 5AA! The local Gold Coast rag doesn't have much interest in the opposition today either.

Rested big guns return to Suns

Like Pringle - my sentiments as well. I am just hoping for no injuries..

I simply asked as there has been a lot of discussion about results around here. I counted at least 6 of our best 22 injured (not sure who is rested atm) and I think we will struggle to beat The Franchise GC 17 up there.

Am very interested in this game - I do hope the boys prove me wrong

I know its not nice to come on and bag posters, especially when you are not a regular, but if you are giving comments, PLEASE give scores.

This site can be infuriating for remote viewers, who are more interested in score and player updates, than comments that add nothing to our knowledge of the game.

Sorry for being pushy, but some comments given during games are just pointless. "Jamar!" ""What a kick by Blease" etc etc.

Please remember that some of us are completely blind/deaf to the game, and our entire view of the game is what you guys type.

I guess im more referring to televised or radio games, but please give scores whenever possible.

Many thanks in advance, and i hope i havent offended anyone

Last chance to show what we got before round 1. I think we will be very keen to get some momentum going into the season. I see a big win coming, I don't think we will make the same mistake as last week and let them into the game (2nd quater v the saints).

Im predicting (hoping for) a 55-60 point win and I don't think we should expect any less!

The start of the game has been delayed by 20 minutes as a result of Melbourne rocking up late. No reason given why they were late.

The only AFL practice game that's being broadcast today is Port Adelaide v Sydney by the 5AA team (I kid you not!).

It's definitely worth tuning in for a bit of a laugh.
