JSOS absolutely killed it in the ruck last week. Just keep the status quo, and let him do it again. We may have stumbled into a great new tactic. He was awesome with his pressure and as the “extra” mid fielder. Keep it going until it stops working.

GC will, amongst a lot of others, not have Ellis or Greenwood.
Still missing/lacking talls forward and back, midfield thin after Miller and Swallow (Rowell has been a shadow post injury) They are no chance, unless we play like we did against North!
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Saw it in the women's semi final when they lost a ruckman before half time and the extra on the ground worked a treat. Don't do it all the time to remain unpredictable but do it often. Kennedy tried that a couple of times (don't really blame him!) and the Saints got easy centre clearances.

Kennedy didn't really look happy! ;D

I think that it's essential that we put a body on the opposition ruckman at around the ground contests, even if our bloke doesn't actually contest the hitout. Giving even an average ruckman a free hitout is virtually giving up a clearance. Making him worry about an opponent increases our chances of sharking the hitout, particularly if, like SOS, that opponent has the nous and reaction time to make a second effort.

But I won't tell anyone if you don't

TDK looks likes a reasonable chance to play based on the injury report, but Eddie is less likely. I'd look at resting Owies and bringing in Gov. Create a real problem with the 3 talls up forward and see how it pans out. Still have Fisher, E Curnow, Honey and Martin all lurking up forward around the big boys.

Surely TDK being a potential play is hyperbole. I'd be more worried about Harry not playing. He looked a bit proppy and is no guarantee to play again this week. TDK wont play surely (i have been wrong before). If anything its all a bit of gamesmanship to make Gold Coast plan for the possibility of having a genuine ruck contest.

Gold Coast might have Ellis and Day back in.
Connor Budarick Knee Season Matt Conroy Knee Season Brandon Ellis Hamstring Test (2 weeks ago, it was listed as a 3 week injury, rolling the dice?) Hugh Greenwood Knee Season Nick Holman Abdomen TBC Jack Hombsch Sternum TBC Oleg Markov Hamstring 1 week Rhys Nicholls Back Indefinite Rory Thompson Knee Season Lachie Weller Concussion Test Jarrod Witts Knee Season Updated: Tuesday, August 3 Early prognosis In good news Ellis is back training with the senior team, will do the main session on Thursday and is expected to be available this weekend. Sam Day played the opening 10 minutes of Saturday's abandoned VFL game and could come into consideration this week after overcoming a foot problem. - Michael Whiting
