Curnow the junior might be close to a return?

ps I'd be having a chat to Fiorini after the game too if I was SOS.

He's a gem.

Agree on above comments....danger game simply because we'll start raging favourites and not often that's happened to the young team in recent years. Terrible luck for Goddard but hopefully Weitering is right to go. They could even consider Casboult playing permanent forward without Charlie/McGovern and give TDK a run to help Kruezer when Witts rests?

Updated injury list - no wonder they're getting belted.

GOLD COAST

Callum Ah Chee Ankle 5 weeks
Ben Ainsworth Foot 1 week
Jack Bowes Quad 1 week
Sam Collins Hip Season
Brayden Crossley Personal leave TBC
Nick Holman Back Indefinite
Jack Martin Finger TBC

Izak Rankine Hip TBC
Josh Schoenfeld Knee Test
Rory Thompson Knee Season
Harrison Wigg Knee Season
Aaron Young Knee TBC

Updated: Tuesday, July 16

Early prognosis

Murdoch was a late withdrawal from the NEAFL last weekend and will now miss another match with a quad problem. Rankine's hip must be a concern. Originally the Suns said it was "minor" after niggling it in his only NEAFL match three weeks ago and now he's listed as a TBC. - Michael Whiting

x2...Playing with a poor team we havent seen the best of him this season but that left boot he has is a good one and with a good Italian surname like Fiorini
there is only one logical place for him to be and thats at Carlton.

Ainsworth would be very highly rated if he was at a better club.

I honestly think GC need to go hard at a full on rebuild right now. Forget the past and the dire position they're already in - offer all their good players longish deals - whoever doesn't want to sign trade them out for as many first round draft picks as they can get. They already hit last year's draft hard. Do it again now and build a culture around a group of kids like GWS has done.

The weather in Melbourne this week sounds is going to be wet and windy: perfect time for a game at Marvel! Now we have to be able to beat their rucks!

Sunny on saturday but VERY windy.

Isn't the roof closed irrespective of weather conditions?

No.

We had to suffer through a glary day against Brisbane because the sun was out.


It makes awful viewing for TV too.
