Neitas bump

I remember Sicily successfully appealed medium contact that got downgraded to low contact this season for his kick. I think we have to attempt to take it to the tribunal

Yep he's in trouble.

He's letting the team down with that stuff. 

Needs to stop asap.

Pickett turns his head and follows the ball before contact, the elbow is not intentional as he is looking to push off the player to burst away, I think the first angle looks bad, but the second one shows he is just following the footy. Clearly low impact.

If we go by Collingwood lawyer the Adelaide player runs himself into his elbow. Lol. To soon?

His goal celebration was putrid given his side was getting destroyed. Smells like Ginnivin 2.0. 

We know there is only one wizard. There can't ever be another

Yeah I think a little twinge and been put on ice. He was jogging and on the exercise bike from what I could see. 

Not nothing but no need to fear the worst yet.

Looks like a meniscus injury based on mechanism

The rules changed. We missed Mac by one year. Could not bid inside the top 20. Mac went 5. The suns have their own set of rules

Did the rules only change for the one season? Because the year before Mac Andrew the doggies took Ugle Hagan as an academy player with pick 1!

Can anyone explain why we couldn't pick Mac Andrew as a Melbourne academy player last year, when gold coast are allowed to pick 2 academy players in the top 10 this year?

We give 6, 7 (from GWS salary dump) and pick 11 for pick 1.

WC give pick 6 and 11 for norths pick 2

Melb get 1

WC 2 and 7

North get 3, 6, 11 plus the rest

That means WCE will get Curtis at 2 or 3.

I just watched this video, was from 5 months ago, but seems spot on. And if we get this kid he could be a 1 in generational player 

The only reason I can see McDonald in the team is because he can ruck the forward boundary throw ins and Max can drop a kick behind the play. But why pick McDonald for this role when we have Grundy available. That really makes no sense.

McDonald offered no forward pressure, no aerial contest and was to slow on the lead last week. 

I'm baffled by that decision 

Natural justice will occur on the 30th of September. Sit tight, this could get very messy.

I reckon Jack Viney could pip trac for most brownlow votes this year. He has been incredible. But I don't think either of them will win it. 

Grundy the sub! Make it happen

Sheesh.. Poor Luke Dunstan. 

Gets 40 plus disposals in the twos and still can't get a gig when a inside mid goes out.

Seriously stiff.. might as well pack his bags and go play suburban footy.

I had exactly the same thought. The bloke can't get a game with Oliver and Sparrow injured despite being the best midfielder for a long time at Casey. Harmes has been poor this year,  pretty annoyed at the selectors.

Watch out for Dorko snipering blokes lads

Didn’t they say it was muscle belly not tendon though? What you say does make sense though.

Central tendons run through the belly of the muscle. 

"

The central tendons of the hamstrings run from the ischial tuberosity to different insertion sites medially (the semimembranosus and semitendinosus muscles) and laterally (the biceps femoris [BF] muscle) around the knee joint".

It sounds like a central tendon injury. These can take much longer to rehab. 

Slow heavy load that progresses slowly to faster movements. It is very individual in healing time. With load progression measured by the medical team

The week in hospital would of made his hamstring worse because he was not able to load the tendon during this time. Tendons love appropriate load. No load actually makes them worse.

We are doing the right thing, we need Oliver in September and there is no point getting him back when he is not ready.

Could Bowey play Spargos role in the forward line? He is similar in that he is elite by foot and cool under pressure. Can kick it further than spargo and is more likely to convert his opportunities 

Good leadership viney

Get Hunter off! He is killing us

Still no BBB? Joel Smith promoted after a whole 6 disposals for Casey last week as apposed to BBB with 19? FMD.

I had exactly the same thoughts. Surely BBB should of come in!

The GC mid unit of Witts, Anderson, Rowell and Miller (once he's fit) are a match for anyone. 

My opinion of the Suns abilities was clouded by the game they coughed up against Freo during gather round. I had serious hate for them after that capitulation. Credit to them they put in a huge shift and very unlucky to lose. If they can maintain this level of performance, they're a chance against most teams. Might even sneak into finals.

The initial DL reaction to the win was overly negative, the reaction to the reaction has been give the Suns their due it was a tough win for us, a win is a win etc. I think the balanced view is not a bad as some make out but we were not at our best either. the defensive side of our game is not as reliable as it used to be. and we're crying out for a dominant KPF. Gotta be top of the list of priorities in trade week.

The bit that hasn't been mentioned and luckily didn't cost us was we very nearly coughed it up in the last. We kicked 2-6 with Fritsch missing some straightforward shots. Defensively we gifted them some goals to let them back in. Trent Rivers in particular with a howler for their last goal. Our decision making was poor in the last I thought. Obviously fatigue a factor but we played some dumb footy in that last 10 mins I thought. Umps didn't help either of course.

I agree Rivers needs to get that out of his game. He played a terrific last qtr. But I can recall his skill error by foot resulting in a goal in the last qtr over the past 3 consecutive weeks.

The Hawks are awful this year and they will be coming back from a big interstate flogging.

We need to consider the bigger picture anyone that is not 100% fit should be rested (not to casey). The medical and performance team will know who those people are. A freshen up now will help us against some very strong opposition coming such as Port in Adelaide and the filth on kings day.

Woewodin will get a game when he is ready and not before.  

Still Woewodin

I really enjoyed that game. And yes we were lucky to win but I am proud our boys were mature enough to win, when we probably should not have. The Gold Coast showed they have what it takes to be a very good footy team. Rowell early took it up to clarry and tracs by beating them at contested ball. The coaches put more work into him to nullify his influence and then Noah Anderson was as good as I have seen a player play in our competition. With some luck Gold Coast should play finals this year with that performance. 

Proud of the boys for finding a way to win against a very good opponent.
