Gold Coast also lost last weekend.

There has been a bit of fuss on social media in the last week or two about QLD sprinting sensation Gout Gout.
It's a bit surprising because the clips of Gout doing the rounds are from back in March..

I guess a bit of the interest is the fact that the World U/20 championships are on at the moment in Peru.
Gout is still only around 16.
Well about an hour or two ago Gout completely missed the start of the 200 metre final and was well down going into the bend.
He's come over the top of all the others, just failing to catch the 100 meter champion Walaza who was an Olympic relay medallist with the South African team a few weeks ago.

If you get a chance to have a look at it...this kid looks like being something special at the next Olympics and probably at his peak in Brisbane.

and...just when you thought it was safe to leave the track...

Olympian Torrie Lewis has also won a silver in the Women's 200m

Our first AFLW game against Hawthorn is this Sunday at 13:05 at Frankston.
Why Frankston? Good question, and I don't have a good answer. Not a great place to play when it is windy.
Lulu Beaty is named for her debut. The rest of the team is, as yet, uncertain, as in Schödinger's Cat. No doubt it will drop into its Eigen State in the next few days.

Lining up against the Hawks to kick off the season on Sunday. No Brooke Vickers or Tarni Brown and of course Erone is out for the season. Vickers pace in particular will be missed as we seem to be a hard working team lacking dash and polish. Captain's run on Saturday morning is an open session for those interested.

OK, well its time for our latest installment of this and this may be the most difficult one for the year.

Assume all players are fit unless mentioned otherwise above.

Plenty of kids showing some talent coming through of late, and plenty of players on the injury list who would probably walk back in. So who do you keep out?

Use this to help....

With Port defeating Freo, we are in. Unless we get some players back and a bit more form than we've shown in recent weeks, we're only going to last 1 week.

Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos:
[1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

Do we have a pulse?
