Could Ellis or Holman become a lockdown defender, solving our opposition's small forward problem?

Don't think Ellis could stop a 90yo granny.

are almost locks to come back into the side after being rested for the North Melbourne clash. Bailey Humphrey started as the sub last weekend but should return to the starting line-up to face the Cats. Alex Davies was subbed out against the Kangaroos and might be the unlucky midfielder to make way.

Damien Hardwick has started resting his young guns and could look to do so again with Jake Rogers and Jed Walter, particularly off a short week.

and a key forward – possibly Walter – could be spelled for the Thursday night clash.

[dontlimitme]

do you guys think jeffrey will play back or forward?

 

[kreglze]

Almost certainly play back.

 

[Vdubs]

GC to win this convincingly. We are bereft of midfield talent, ruck talent, and no Danger, Hawkins and Cameron.
In Darwin against a hungry younger spirited team full of talent in areas we are deficient.

Wow you could sell ice to eskimos. I hope you’re right. I’m not so convinced. It will be tough to back up last weeks performance off a 5 day break in those conditions.

You might not have been paying attention.

It is a stand alone Thursday night Channel 7 game, with all eyes on the Suns. Kick off to Sir Doug Nicholls round. If we win this, cue all the commentators "best win in their history" lines, sets up a run at finals.

So, you know, all the usual elements for a Flop. The Darwin Debacle rolls off the tongue....

The Suns never ever ever win this type of game. Ever. In our whole 'maximum 10 wins' history.

......so if the Cats lose this, I would start to panic if I were you.

 

[Young_Guns]

While I am more optimistic this year than I have ever been that we are on the right path, Geelong could send up their entire VFL team up and I would still consider them favourites for this one.

This absolutely reeks of classic Suns loss, and I haven’t seen anything this year to suggest this failure to show up is behind us.

I would love to come back to this comment and go off about how wrong I was though.

 

[Jen2310]

 

[Southern Sun]

So it sounds like ,
Moyle- witts
Day - walter
Swallow- Rogers
Fiorini- ?? Maybe they spell clohesy
Humphrey would start you would think, long or holman sub unless someone else is in need of a rest.

 

[robo_1]

The three just done some hanball drills together on their own

 

[TheSunGod]

We got one Bodhi Uwland

It was only North but Bodhi showed some good signs. He looked much more comfortable at the level than he had in his previous games, busting through a couple of would-be tacklers, running past to receive a handball, showcasing his powerful leap, and booming kick. He can only get better with more game time.
With Mac, JJ and Bodhi in defence, our backline is just starting to look much stronger on the ground and in the air, as well as providing more drive. All are better kicks than Sam and Charlie (who both also played really well, particularly Collo who is having a good year to date).

His 3 best games
Sydney 23’ debut, Adelaide 24’ and North Melbourne Darwin all rained/not ideal conditions and he was clean and strong in all 3.

Something in that

 

[Jen2310]

Bodhi is who you expected Budarick to have been. The latter hasn't been the same since his 2 ACLs, a shame, and has been overtaken by others.
I remember at the time he was touted to be one of the better academy prospects to come from the system.

 

[Ben Drever]

No one wants to win it

 

[Mini GF]

Opportunity game for us but not a Mini GF and clearly Dimma is treating it that way.

Nonetheless what a valuable game changing 4 points it would be.

 

[sunsofanarchy]

Real ones know these are the teams we need to beat. Can beat up bottom 4 sides all we like but we won't make finals until we can run with the big dogs
