I was nervous about this one before, particularly due to GC’s speed. Seeing the changes I’m actually expecting we’ll get done.

I understand the thinking of needing a big lump like Pittonet against Witts, but we’re putting our slowest team of the year up against one of the quickest in hot conditions. We can only hope the extra two day break will work in our favour. If we can’t dominate in the air we’ll get pants’d.

I wouldn’t be surprised though to see a late change, Dow perhaps, in for a bigger guy.

Witts is a good player and had two very good games against us last year.

Definitely need the two rucks against him, Pittonet and TDK to take turns in making him work very hard.

Wonder what's up with Brodie, cant get a game. Almost won the game for them last time round.

Would like to have seen one more runner in the team, Cunningham, LOB or Dow.

Does anyone know if they are Gold Coast locals.

I ask this because its the AFL Commission that decides, and that means the decision making process is corrupted.

Just can't see us winning, we've been here before. Would love to be pleasantly surprised though.

It's not the hot conditions that concern me. It's the slippery conditions that may prevail due to humidity.

Every team this year has had a flat game. I have a feeling this will be Gold Coast's turn tonight.
Blues by 37 points
Eddie to kick 3
Martin will kick 3
Harry to kick 4

Certainly not confident. I’m never ever confident going in to any game. I’m not the president of the nervous Nellie club for nothing.

But I’ll be incredibly disappointed if we don’t get the job done tonight.

That's an amazing story. I hope that inspires the boys tonight and every game after.

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

Blues by 40, TDK to kick 5.

As a guy from Brisbane, i normally make the drive down to see these clashes and am sick of losing to them. time to stand up and put them away

Go Blues

Brilliant... I feel so lucky to see him play.... Aside from the amazing skills.. he just couldn't be tackled! (like Betts now)....

As for his story, just so sad... I'm heartbroken at what went on...... and I think about what's happening now in some cases and wonder if we've learnt anything.

Go Blues

Why though? We're evenly matched and haven't picked the best team for this game.

We will rely on Levi or H pulling one out of the bag.

If people tear the house down if we lose they are being unrealistic. It's OK to be disappointed, just not angry, unless we play below an acceptable level.
