Where and when: Sunday 2nd August at Metricon Stadium
What it means for the Suns: Just above the Giants on the ladder by percentage, a win should put them in 7th, maybe higher if by enough. A loss leaves them having below the 8 although still with hopes of getting in.
What it means for the Giants: They at least go over the Suns and Probably the Dons and Dogs as well. A loss leaves them where they are with the Dockers match maybe dropping them more.
Supercoach Watch:
Gold Coast: Miller and Greenwood are the big ones, plus the ever present Budarick. And of course Lukosius and Weller for much of the tech teams.
GWS: Perryman, Whitfield and Hopper are the biggies. Many other players have gone out although Zac Willims is back in.
Father Dougal’s Watch: Rankine – He could go anywhere from 50 to 150. A lot of coaches who look like me are going to look at his three round average as meaningful.
Father Dougal’s Tip: I think the Suns at home are going to lift and find a way to edge out the Giants by three. There is no rational reason for that, it’s just what my gut is telling me. Unless that’s the salmon mousse. If it is the salmon mousse then GWS by 25.

No late changes to either team.
Need some advice please!
T/U: Take Georgiades 55
T/D: Back Budarick to get better
Bit of advice please
TU – trade budarik to $102k rookie, loophole Simpsons score (bench Serong) and pocket the $125k to assist with double upgrade (Duncan and Stewart) next week
TD – keep budarik, field Serong and only get one of Duncan or Stewart next week
Not a good time to be throwing away bench spots if you can avoid it. Expect lots of “managed” players in the next couple of weeks.
Toby Greene (draft team) at one end..
Rankine at the other.
Add in a little Lachie Whitfield, and a touch of Josh kelly….
This should be a very entertaining game.
Jelly, Whitfield and Rankine for me as well, FT.
Need them to all fire for a shot at pressing 2400.
Haynes, Whitfield, Rankine and Greenwood this game – cmon boys
Greene coming off the ground and down into the rooms. Didn’t even go to the trainers so it looks like his hammy has been injured again
Rankine with doughnuts at qtr time and Budarick leading the SC for the Suns with 28.
Please say this isn’t going to continue!
green done for the day
47 pts @ Q time
Who do I get in @450k roughly?
Tu; Williams
Td; Stewart
F**k it!Needed Toby to kick 2 or more for a $1600 collect.$10 investment!!!!!
yep ,
your not alone
betting agencies are full of other peoples money
I love watching Greene play but he has again shown why he is on my never again list.
That sucks.
Half Time – Giants lead 4.5.29 to Suns 2.4.16. Toby Greene done for the day with a hamstring.

Toby Greene is out suffering a right hamstring injury. Reading the afl article
Eh, not going to bitch about Rankine.
Put up two 100+ scores from the FWD pocket in his first year and made some crucial mid-season coin. No complaints here.
Can’t expect too much from a 1st year player
My only gripe is I thought this would happen and resisted bringing in Rankine after rd 1 to upgrade another line , then brought him in after rd 2 and his numbers dropped .
watching the 1st 2 Q’s ,
it seems that buderick is very good around the ball
but needs to be playing tight on someone who can find it to get him there
I’ll bitch for you GD.The scoring under 90 proj. will hurt many.
Zac Williams looking to be a good defensive upgrade target for next round and even the round after as his last 2 games before his injury were 55 and 77 and that 77 was from 60% TOG.
Should be around 440k
A top player when fit, but a bit injury prone for me in this shitty year.
Yeah, I usually start him each year but he usually misses a game or 2 at least every year. Since he has only played rds 2-4, he’s missed 2 times this season, so hopefully he won’t occur any more injuries for the season
So will Stewart……
Three quarters of footy and Greenwood still hasn’t registered a tackle, weird game
time for buderick to be cashed in
Only if you have a DPP to replace ‘im……..
Josh Kelly really hasn’t performed the best today. On 24 disposals currently and only 7 contested possessions with 58% efficiency
yeh got close
might bring in an ultra cheap , late round , non playing DPP as a permanent mid fwd loophole
buderick hasnt scored over 60 for 6 weeks now
he Taylor & hill are all going next weekfor stewart etc
saying de boer might have done a hammy
hope Haynes is ok
Full Time – Giants 9.7.61 defeat Suns 4.11.35

suns now lost 4 of the last 5
Started fast last year if I remember.
No Suns SC player did real well which is frustrating
Thank you Mr Rankine…you are terminated. Thank goodness only on my bench doing fund raising.
I was considering trading him to Close this week, but held him thinking he’d still be worth it, but that score hurts
Will be a good loop option. Gonna try and relegate him to F7.
So ,I guess it was the Salmon Mousse!
