According to the betting odds Gold Coast are narrow favourites, for whatever that's worth (and it may change during the week). But I agree that we should feel confident that we can win this one.

I think the key to this one is to learn from last time we played them when Chol and Casboult got hold of our defenders. They have both been exceptional scoring avenues for them this year. Yes, it wouldn’t be hard to play them closer than last time but we also need to apply more mid field pressure and that at least, is something we haven’t had trouble producing in recent weeks. Reckon the travel couldn’t come at a better time. Bit of bonding, out of the public eye and a different environment for a day or two. What’s not to like.
Last time we played them included - C Brown, T Brown, Begg, Madgen and DeGoey was very quiet.
This time player changes include - Elliot, Murphy, Cox, Henry, Chugg / DeGoey ??

i found this hard to believe, but i looked it up, and it is true - Gold Coast 1.83, Colliongwood 2.01, go figure
happened to notice Geelong 1.01, North Melbourne 17.00- tempting to put the whole house on Geelong!! |

Could be dangerous – they only got over the line against West Coast by 18 points a few weeks ago, so you never know …

This is a mini final for mine.
Win and we virtually knock the sun's out of the finals race, they r chasing our spot.
Lose and we face a massive challenge to make the 8 with a low percentage and a killer final 3 games.
Make no mistake, this game is huge and will be very tough

What happens at Warner Brothers Movie World stays at Warner Brothers Movie World. And keep him away from SeaWorld, those dolphins aren’t as tame as they let on! |

A harder game than GWS at the G. Don't want to see either Chugg or Ruscoe in the team. De Goey comes back hopefully and I'd have Carmichael as the sub, in case De Goey decides to have a rave at the SpongeBob SquarePants splashdown area at wet and wild at half time.

We're very slight underdogs, which I don't mind.
I think the Suns are a solid outfit, so I'm expecting a tough contest.

As much as I would like to see Carmichael in the side, he really needs full games under his belt. There is no point sending him to Gold Coast to play 1 quarter of footy.

A fair bit going on the Suns early. Both sides opened at $1.91 with TAB. Sun's now $1.80, Pies $2.04.
I think we match up well in this and should grind out another win. The one time I don't back us by 40+, we'll kick straight and destroy them.

This is very true: Dean, Carmichael Begg, Murley, Tyler Brown and Johnson need a solid body of work in the VFL to even be remotely considered to have earned the spot in the AFL.
If one remembers back to the 1970's, guys like Tuck, Dipper and a number of other Hawks proved their mettle in the Reserves, as it was then, over a sustained period of weeks. Seemed to work OK for the Brown and Gold mob.
Out: Chugg
In: De Goey
Only the selectors would know if some of the younger guys are in need of a rest from fatigue- however, as pointed out above, they have just come off the bye so they should be cherry ripe.

We’ve won five straight and have very few injuries. You’re going to need to be seriously ripping it up in the VFL before you dislodge any of our current AFL players ( injury and brain fades aside ) Chugg, of course is on thin ice but his selection was designed to fill a specific role deep in our forward line and the experience alone, will make him a better player.
Ask yourself a question, after Chugg ( replaced by DeGoey ) which player would next be dropped on the basis of poor form ? That’s how well this collective is going right now. |

What if De Goey is unavailable again? Personally, if so, I'd be inclined to persist with Chugg, or at worst make him injury sub and give Tyler Brown another crack.
