Here’s the team (really!)

WTF no Kommer?!?!?!

So I know FA about the Gold Coast team - I take it they have a short forward line?

10 bomber debuts, can’t remember the last time we had anything like that.

Probably the last time we had 12 banned.

Team not delivered punctual enough for you eh?

Reckon we're a tall short

Just pretend we are playing only leuenberger in the ruck.

Good to see communications specialists at the club list Mitch brown making his afl debut

Well done Matt Dea, impressive come back. Official welcome to my new favourite Crowley.

Yep, Gold Coast only running with Lynch and Day as tall forwards.

They also just have Rory Thompson and Steven May as KP backs and May really isn’t that tall.

It is going to be warm, humid and the ball will get slippery as we go into the second half.

We’ve picked a smaller, running team to match both the opponents structure and the conditions.

Biggest risk for us is if Leuenberger goes down. He would be the only “underdone” player for us.

Biggest risk for them is they’ve picked both Ablett & Prestia off injury interrupted pre-seasons without either (I think) playing a pre-season game. Huge risk bringing in two underdone players. I wouldn’t be surprised if they brought a tall forward like Peter Wright for Prestia hoping to wrong-foot us.

I’d expect us to take up one of Sam Michael or Grimley + Kommer as the two emergencies.

One thing I like about our team is how many “tough nuts” we have picked…been a while since we had so many in the one side: Baguley, Ambrose, Kelly, Bird, Crowley and Tippa. Not surprising when you see how Worsfold himself played.

I think the result will hinge on Ablett and how well he plays, or is allowed to play.

Quilt plays tall and actually is tall!

I like the balance of the team.

Hopefully in a few weeks the balance is similar and we add Dempsey, Laverde and Eades. Hopefully Eades and Laverde are playing VFL on Saturday

Yep, I hope his form improves too and he earns a spot soon. I like him and definitely think he’ll be a solid long term player for us

surprising omissions namely hartley, fanta, but who the ■■■■ knows what combo of players is our best 22 at present.

is polkinghorn still alive ? Was hoping to see how he’d go in the seniors , moreso based of vfl form last year.

Go and stand next to him reboot. Ok he is not 2metres tall. He is about 6’4 in the old units.
What fools people is that he has big hips and thighs . The bane of many women. That makes him look short. Ok reboot he is not in the hartley 199cm class but he is not far off it.

Well its Craig Bird, Darcy Parish, James Kelly, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti that i feel for - having to sit on the bench the whole game.

Ok with the team. Great to see Tippa and Parish there. I’d rather have fantasia for Jerrett. Also thought Grimley would be there but that said he has not been able to hit the side of a barn with his kicking.

Fantasia apparently copped a high knock at training, so I wouldn’t read Jerrett favouritism into it yet…
