Richmond vs Gold Coast Game Day Thread

Can't believe it, well can actually, but the Melb v Freo game is on FTA TV, followed by Geelong v Scum. Aren't we playing interstate today?
 
Interesting preview by Paul Daffey, once again.

The 2 key points about Gold Coast that I took in were:
1. Harbrow is extremely important to their run & carry out of the backline, and his return last week improved over-all team performance.
2. Like Richmond with McGuane, Gold Cost moved Jared Brennan to CHF last week to provide a marking target, although he didn't kick any goals, and he is likely to play there again.

One might guess that:
1. Edwards would play a forward 'shut-down' role on Harbrow.
2. Brennan might be a bit quick & experienced for Griffiths and some line-up adjustment should be made.

Yes, but the Melbourne supporters need the FTA TV coverage to their vantage points on the snowfields, Buller, Hotham, et al.

Ball should definitely swing, given the right care. ;)
 
Regardless of us missing Martin, Grimes, Foley, if we are to be a genuine finals chance we should win comfortably today.

Latest weather update for Cairns at 6pm which will be nearly at the start of the 3rd qtr.

24 degrees
11% chance of rain
6kmh wind
87% humidity

thats just the internet telling me this.

What does the weather look like from your position?
Humid, humid. Lots of cloud but no rain other than bit of mist. Every rental car in Cairns is pre.booked so we're walking to Cazaly I think.
 
Steamy overcast but currently no rain. I was at training yesterday and noticed players were wearing wristbands to stop the sweat from running down their arms. I'd say they are better prepared this year.

Ground was in great condition as you would expect in this climate.

I suspect griff won't play. Webberley to come in. Also heard mention of Gus playing.

Boys looked ready to bring it.

I'm quivering with anticipation. Where did I leave my suspenders.

Phanto brennan is a spud to the highest order, embarrassing player u only had to watch last weeks game to see he plays for himself and makes silly mistakes which just costs his team....
