GAMEDAY: Rd 02 vs Gold Coast Suns

[sisso 2,388]

We could be playing West Coast this week who have 17 out and our supporters would still be making a case for the Eagles to get up!

37 point win, including resting some stars in the final 10 minutes.

Relaxing evening to come 

[titan_uranus 22,418]

For so long as we are going into games with four first choice defenders out, including Lever and Salem, we are going to be at risk of conceding scores when we otherwise wouldn't.

We did great against the Dogs last week but that was in prime conditions, not in slippery tropical conditions.

And although we have come off one of the best seasons any side has had in the last 21 years, we dropped games to Adelaide and Collingwood and drew with Hawthorn, as roaring favourites each time.

There's no objective reason to be concerned. We're the best team in the competition. But we won't get through this year without losing games.

If it’s wet, that bodes well for us. We are a contested team, whilst the Suns like to run (not as easy to do on a heavy ground).

[dl4e 5,593]

Having Lever and Salem missing is a huge hole in our team. They are 2 of the best defenders in the league so any win without both of them is worth it. I hope Lever is ready next week. Also Petty is a valuable CHB and having him out is a blow.

Kozzie  is due for a big game. Today may be it.

We should win and although the Suns might be plucky and playing at home, I’m feeling somewhat more confident knowing the team had a run on the ground last night, with rain - so basically the same conditions as tonight I imagine. Let’s hope we can crack in like last week and take the game away from them, and then keep going with it.

The boys spotted doing a warm up at Surfers ……. Wife impressed with some of the physique’s on display. 

Maybe not this one?

I live between Brisbane and the Gold coast and sun is out but plenty of clouds around. Will be going down later and just hope the weather stays OK. Any storms later should be out west away from coast Looking forward to seeing them live again. Should win by at least 30 points.

We are reigning premiers yet we get shunned to Foxtel. I know port are a top team to, maybe they wanted to put the Hawks on because of Mitchell. Anyway I'm happy to watch it and free

Was unaware that this could be 10 wins in a row. As it should be against this Clayton's club.

Yes  gone are the days Id lament the wet weather and how it worked against us.

We thrived in all slippery conditions last year with ground ball gets and even contested marking.

Bring it on,

Your poor old Uncle Bitter had planned to give Metricon a boost by attending in person. Unfortunately ........you know.. circumstances changed..... and spectating shall take place in the The Manor's modest theatrette. Hopefully in the company of an immodest maid.

While the Suns have some very handy up and comers , and may even, finally, become competitive they will be no match for the Dees.

A comfortable 39 point victory beckons.

Agree Uncle.

Ill be taking the 1-39 pts on offer, as it seems early in the season the Dees just get out there and get the job done. We will leave the thrashings for the Cold Pies later in the season when we have a fit and firing full implement of troops. It will be wet as well i would imagine.

47 point win with everyone talking about how we would have won by 80 if not for the repeated 50's gifted to GCS by the maggots.

Sunny here at the moment. Hopefully the rain holds off.

Rain bands to both the West & Sth at the moment, but neither seems to be moving at the moment.  Might get lucky!

Well..... not exactly WCW.

However, I do give her special awards.
