As Freo fans it feels a bit weird ridiculing Gold Coast’s trades. Doesn’t mean we’re not going to do it, but just feels weird. Time to Restump Podcast Sunday’s clash against the Suns.
We’ve not got a great recent record at Gold Coast’s home ground Metricon stadium, but then again… with two losses from three games there this year, neither do the Suns.
Some expected big ins but a somewhat surprising yet also understandable out with Brandon Walker, having been told to take a spin around the oval with the Peel boys. Fresh off taking care of Curnow and Cameron, Griffin Logue returns to play his 50th.
Alex Pearce and his defensive crew will look to contain the in form Levi “Rock the” Casboult all while keeping short leashes on the dangerous Izak Rankine and Ben Ainsworth.
Will Brodie makes his return to the place where it barely began. So its safe to say he won’t be humming the Cheers tv show theme song, “Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.” Brodie will be looking to continue making the statement he has in the first 8 rounds.
With Switta and Sonny side-lined and still no Tabs, 3 or 4 goals more now fall on the shoulders of the collective. The forecast is for 25 degrees and rain…. I don’t know about you but that sounds like the perfect weather for the Cyclone to me!
Sean “Swaggy Oh” Darcy has only played against Jarrod Witts once in his career and it was a break even contest. They’re both in cracking form but we’ll back Darce, with back up from Lobby, to relentlessly drive Jarrod mad, possibly to Witt’s end.
We have to keep an eye on Touk Miller after his rare quiet one last week, Matty “Notepad” Rowell is back on his way to becoming that contested possession king and the slick big ball winning youngster Noah Anderson returns to the Suns line up.
It’s a game we should win but the Suns are a bit unpredictable and they’re are coming off a big win over the Swans on the their home deck last week.
Fyfe is on the way back, Matty Johnson is closing in on returning to the WAFL but unfortunately the Disco is out for an extended period.
We see Luke Jackson making his way West this weekend and wonder if room in the schedule has been made for a bit of chat. The Chief has found out a bit more about Bob’s role down at the club and we bring it home with another episode of the informative segment, Ask Jojo.
