Yeah he did come off. Apparently he copped a corkie in the same spot as the previous week, so he could be in some doubt. I didn't know if you'd heard he was a definite out or not.

In 2016 JJ had a long lay-off and if memory serves me correct, he kicked the winner against the Swans up there. Therefore if anyone is capable of playing well after a long lay-off, it is him.
Having said that, I would be surprised if he is named in the side this week.

That is a correct recollection.

Gold Coast have two key forwards we need to look after - Chol and Casbault.

Get your shit together you two.

There's a fair bit of difference between a 23yo with an injury, and a 29yo coming back from a long lay-off. I agree that he should not come straight back in.

This weekend, assuming Naughton out and English still not ready, I would be playing Keath and Gardner as key backs with Cleary as the 3rd, then Sweet as #1 ruck with Cordy 2nd ruck/forward. Khamis and O'Brien forward.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 10 v Gold Coast at Mars on Saturday Morning
Not a huge fan of McNeil’s but perhaps his inside 50 tackling is why he is in the team. I get it’s easier when you’re not doing much else but he is currently top 20 in the AFL for inside 50 tackles despite missing 3 games.

Hello Woofers,
I have had a spell on the long term injury list, with losing various parts of my IT including my Mac and my TV and looking after a cancer guy who has got a lot worse, so little time for fun or footy.
But I have seen some games and highlights and taking a glass half full view, how good has Richards been this season? He seems to be getting better each game.
Kharmis has been a good surprise, and what I have seen of English shows real improvement.
I have only read match reports about recent Suns games, but they seem to be a different team this season.
We will be in for a real game this weekend.

Look after yourself DR. Certainly a tough game this weekend! Hopefully the dogs win and the sun shines in your world!

Thanks mate. I was a very happy man after the Pies game!
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 10 v Gold Coast at Mars on Saturday Morning
Hi Dry Roy-Hope your coping ok in what sounds like a tough time for you.
I reckon if we can win most of the next 5 games and Bruce comes back aok all is not lost for this season. English proved me wrong as I had doubts if he could be a decent ruck (we all knew how good he can be around the ground). Khamis has been a great find and I think he is a bit like Naughton with his energy levels which rubs off on the team - just needs to build up endurance. Richards has overtaken Williams in backline, with Williams looking more comfortable on wing last match - hope he kicks a few long range goals to give him a confidence boost.
I’m really hoping JJ and Maclean can give us a real boost too. I’ll always remember how good McLean was in 2016 final series - especially the prelim when I thought he was outstanding. Hoping he has some good luck for a change. West looked good last match too. Being a footy romantic and having enjoyed watching his dad play I hope Rylee has a great career and that it with us.

No press conference for Luke Beveridge today?

Glad to see you post again Dry Rot. Stay safe and take care.
