Haynes for Peatling is probably the only change.
Most likely but I wouldn’t mind seeing peatling go again as sub. Thought he gave us a spark in the middle when he came on

Interesting Kingsley sees him as a midfielder. He does look fitter. He has agility, speed and is a penetrating kick.
Now he is playing mid he can cover all 4 lines and has a bit of zip to impact as sub.
Hopefully wasn’t just due to opposition. I had him marked as a delisting this year. Happy to be wrong about him.

A MOUTHWATERING head-to-head battle between two of the competition's clearance kings is set to light up the clash between Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney on Sunday.
www.afl.com.au
Matt Rowell (11.7 clearances) and Tom Green (7.7) sit first and third respectively in the all-important clearances per game statistic and occupy the same spots for contested possessions. The 2019 draft alumni will put those attributes to the test against each other in the Adelaide Hills in a huge Gather Round clash.
"We probably will (see them go head-to-head), he's their clearance king, Tom's probably ours so I'm sure they'll be matched up a lot around stoppages," Greater Western Sydney coach Adam Kingsley said."We' ll then see how it's going, if Matt Rowell's bobbing up then we'll certainly try and minimise that damage that he can inflict on the opposition. Opening Round, he had 20 clearances which is just extraordinary so we know he's capable. They're a really strong clearance team and if they get the clearances going their way, they're really hard to beat, irrespective of six years ago or now. We need to really control those stoppages, one of our strengths is being able to do that."
With Rowell and Green joined by Giants Lachie Ash (pick No.4) and Jake Riccardi (No.51) as well as Suns Noah Anderson (No.2) and Sam Flanders (No.11), Sunday's encounter is shaping up as a 2019 draft extravaganza.
Kingsley suggested the Giants will be unchanged for the Suns clash.

bank the win and move on.
3 more debuts for GCS suggests Dima is happy to lose some games in order to get games into his youth and happy if it costs the games in the short term.
They are reasonably tall 8 KP players with 4 over 200cm. Witts back in helps them but the question for them will be how the defend on transition and will they be able to move it from D50 to F50. If we bring our pressure some of their youngsters might struggle.

That he has a long term plan.
Beating us isnt part of it at the moment.
Sure they would like to but that’s not what this is about.

Yes, you'd have to think that the first three games have shown Dimma something about the Suns' list ... presumably a realisation that continuing with moderately talented players won't pay off, and that they need to get some games into guys who might help take them to a flag. I'm sure he's not looking to "tank" games such as our, but probably accepting of losses for a greater benefit. Of course, I'm sure he'd just love their youthful exuberance to cause a stunning upset!

If they all become good players they will have a really good mix of talls up forward. Problem they have is like us initially it’s hard to get game time into a lot of KPP all at the same time while still being competitive (not sure how the pressure will be on rebound)
