Rowell is a gun. Parish is out of contract at year's end if you're interested.

Take me back to the good ol' days :')
Gee whiz. Essendon are running out of forward line soldiers in a fast fashion!
No guarantee Stringer will play AFL this week but even if he does it sounds like he'll be really underdone. Considering Weideman could miss, we may very well see 194cm Collins playing on 192cm Stringer in the goal square and I like that scenario more than Collins being required to defend a forward that plays more of a lead up style like Buddy did on Saturday night. Collins isn't particularly quick so his opponents can often find the necessary separation they need to get going. A restricted Stringer playing full forward that can't move as well as he would like is probably a good situation for Collins to use his body and spoiling skills to kill forward forays.
Essendon not having Tippa obviously helps us as well but Davey is the one that concerns me the most. Long feels like the right man for the job there. Not too concerned about their other forwards.
This is the most important thing to remember. The 2023 version of Hawthorn is a truly awful side (as you would expect from a team fully committed to a rebuild) and they are almost definitely heading for the spoon this year and maybe a few years beyond 2023. We certainly didn't get carried away when we beat North by 62 points in the middle of last season but being round 1 lends itself to false optimism because you have nothing else to compare the result to. Having said that, buying too much into a big win over the likely wooden spooners is always a bad idea.

We’re pretty decent underdogs with betting agencies.
$3 for 1-39 suns win.
$1.5 hollands 15+ possessions
$2.25 Davies 15+ possessions
=$8.20 for the multi.
Watch Davies get to 14 possessions in a suns win to stuff me.

Agree. Always happy to see improvements, happier to see them against the top sides.
I hope we bring in Voss ahead of Stringer. 194cm, kicked 4 in the VFL and is a beast. Maybe Zurhaar-like though still building to that intensity. Stringer takes a few games to warm up so I hope he does that in the VFL.

Good luck this week, guys, although I think Essendon will fall back to earth pretty quickly. Any solid word in Lachie Weller … be pumped to see him back

Pumped to see Powell back playing, so important for our team. Sounds like weller will play afl, atleast sub? So next week against the cats we could have weller, Powell, Humphrey, rosas from Rd 1 team with lemmens and Andrew available also. No player would want to be putting in a poor performance this week.

My supercoach thanks Dew lol But hopefully he improves those turnovers haha
Squad Announcement: Weller named for AFL return
The Gold Coast SUNS has named its extended squad for Round 2 against Essendon, with defender Lachie Weller named to make his AFL return.
Wait, so does the final 4 on the bench have to come from the named interchange? Or is this just like a squad of 26?
Interesting potential changes, or lack there of, if so.

DMac in the starting line up too...
Yes. It would not surprise me if Chol is dropped.

It would be a wake up call for him instead of thinking he's guaranteed a spot every week
Or Tippa
Constable gets one more chance with Powell returning through the VFL this week. A poor performance against Essendon and Powell goes straight in for Constable next week. Same goes for Macpherson if he has a bad game against the Bombers. Uwland seems a little safer but he'll also get dropped if he has an absolute stinker. Worth mentioning Lemmens will come into play again soon as well so the pressure is well and truly on Constable, Macpherson and Uwland to keep their spot in our starting 22. Let's see if they're up for the challenge.
Chol out and Rosas/Sexton in seems likely based on the extended bench that's been named. I think I would prefer Rosas to play but I would understand a Sexton selection given he kicked 6 for the ressies last week. Either way, I think the one that isn't selected should probably be the sub just in case we're still potentially playing too tall in the forward line (even without Chol).
Finally something falls our way! Feeling a lot better about this game now and knowing Weller is back is helping me come to terms with last week. I think we're going to see a much, much better performance from the boys on Sunday.Or Tippa

Constable was never going to be dropped after one bad game, they put a lot of time into him this pre season and have backed him in( atleast until Powell is ready). He will however have to play a tighter defensive roll with weller returning and won't get as many easy stats taking every kick out.

As for the final bench, we can assume uwland is in, hoping rosas is in, think if luko plays wing and maybe rotate with weller then chol stays aand we maybe need one more midfield rotation so either fiorini, Blakely or hollands. Wouldn't mind seeing Blakely get the opportunity but probably will be fiorini. Uwland, rosas, chol, fiorini, sub- hollands.

Hollands will play surely.
20 disposals. 3 behinds in his last game at marvel.

just need to pump games into players like him,
i can't see us losing this, sen mentioned the hawks v dons game was the lowest for pressure by a mile, so bring our pressure i think we roll them easy
