    I thought he played really well against Brisbane and read the play so well. Has been very solid down back, and his experience is what we need.

    I think we will win comfortably, 40+ points. Players to note from GC:
    - Jack Bowes has started the year well at half-back. Getting plenty of the ball (they love to chip around and maintain possession, trying to break the zone - should play into our hands) and uses it well
    - Touk Miller and Hugh Greenwood are playing a highly contested game in the middle - 13 and 10 tackles respectively last week. Greenwood loves to take on a tackle though and often gets caught HTB.
    - their forward line should not cause us any issues. Ben King is good, but Sexton/Rankine/Ainsworth have all started the year poorly and our defence has held strong against better teams already this year.


    BOG: take your pick of our mids. Ruck dominance should mean that we almost clean sweep the centre clearances. I'll go Treloar for 30+ and 3+ goals.

    First goal: Juicy to kick another 10

    Greenwood is very likely playing a fair portion of his time in the ruck this week.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    He's been a good pick up for them. Big body to protect the kids and plays anywhere he is asked to.
    He's not in the class of our midfield rotations but I like him as a player.

    We should have one forward get off the chain this week though. They just don't have enough fit KPDs, especially with their ruck issues. We really need to be mentally switched on though as we've dropped a couple of early season GCS games in recent years.

    Agreed although it was just the one early season game in 2019. It was especially disappointing though so maybe it felt like 2 losses?

    Make them pay for taking Jarrod Harbrow and being an expansion team when we needed and deserved recruits.
