Pre game Discussion Round 13 Suns v Carlton in Darwin.

[LP]

Could Polson be developing into our Caleb Daniels???

29. Cameron Polson
Cam Polson was one of our better players on the ground again. His ability to run and burst from half back and take the game on was brilliant. His ball use was fantastic: even though there was a bit of space on the ground, he used it really dangerously but his ability to find a target even when under pressure set us up.

The kid is a very smart operator, not sure we've used him well in the past, and I appreciate he'll have physical limitations in a system prejudiced towards 195cm midfielders.

Apologies.....when I suggested Betts for a rest it was purely based on his output in recent weeks....at that point I was oblivious to the fact it was the Indigenous Round....certainly hope nobody was offended. Absolute certainty to play.

Playing midfield we used to come on for about 6 minutes then come off.  A long run at training during the wet was  4 km - I'd come back to Melbourne and peel off 16 km in the dry heat.  I used to lose about 3 kg playing.
Once you heat up,  you just can't cool down,  it's nuts.  My eyes used to get all scabby and caked up from the sweat, that was the worst part,  you'd hit the showers and your eyes would be burning from the salt.  It was hard yakka.

lol, reminds me I've got running club tonight, 5km followed by a bbq and rehydration...

hope this is not classic carlton game after a win like last week our expectations rise and we know wat happens , hopefully not

Might be tough for marking players, probably still 27°C at game time, dry and not too bad at 74% humidity but after sunset it might still become a bit of a slippery pill.

Haven't watched much of the Suns lately, not sure what to expect. Although I saw some highlights that suggest Stuart Dew has probably eaten a couple of the GCS reserves players!

[WASurfer]

Sounds like Martin, Cunningham and Pittonet could be all available.....IMO it would be Honey, Cottrell and Kennedy (injured) out....unless Cottrell stays in for Simpson who's rested. Cunningham was good in the wet/slippery conditions against North about 3-4 weeks ago.

Everything points to a win, again if we play to our best we should account for GC. They have had a fab year, dont doubt their improvement one bit but I feel our best is better than their best. Having said that (this applies to all the remaining games):
- We must not give them a start
- We must be switched on for 4 qtrs
- We must put last weeks win behind us, hopefully they did that the next day
- Our indigenous boys need to play blinders
- We must not fark this up at the selection table.
I look at last Sat nights win as a watershed moment, the run home can see us put to rest demons of the past, its all between the ears.

Do all that for the next 2 months and we could be premiers!!!

As they say in tennis "the match is on their racquet".

Life is about balance. What you take off, re run, you have to put back on...lol.
