Option 3: Draw
votes: 2
8 point game for both teams; Both Teams equal 4th separated by %. 2 Teams on the up and probably the second best match of the round. Which Roo team will turn up and that may decide the outcome?
actually tipping GC
Suns by 13 points
Norf will choke. Suns by a few goals.
Should be a really good game
Really hard to pick a winner here, but I would think whoever wins wont win by much
Come on Gold Coast top 8 the dream
North are starting to click. Should win this comfortably
Surprised to see Gold Coast paying $4.10

this. North by 28 points. "That ain't no guess! That's what it's gonna be!"

Exactly. Just when they're looking the goods and seemingly should win. They manage to lose these kind of games.
That said, if they win and/or do well, my BXVs side will benefit seeing as I have like 5 Roos in my starting XV.

yeah that and the trip back from Perth is why i'm tipping GC
norf plays to well at the docklands and should account for GCoasters. stick the neck out and say easily.
Gold Coast have a terrible record at Etihad. Have never won a home and away game there and traditionally get smashed.
Don't think this will change. North should win very easily.
Just thinking North knocked of Port who are top of the table I know Port had a horrible record against then but after Norths first couple losses people counted them out. Should be a good game but North by 5 goals

Want to say GC will win but honestly think North are in great form and should win comfortably.
will be powered off if LMac gets the green vest, hopefully McKenzie wears it again, but B Scott loves the kids ball use and I can see him getting a whole game. ::)
McDonald and Russell are the subs. No late changes.

Ummm :-\
RDT is copping a beating this week ::)
McDonald the sub will hurt a few.
Yep. :'(
Should be a cracker of a game today, can't wait!
Glad I can loophole Robertson on for Lmac
lmac my mid E. been a good weekend for me
GAJ Captain in all games. Need him to fire.
Goldstein & Ablett (C)
370 between them would be nice.
If this was at Metricon or maybe even the G I would go with GC, at Etihad I have to go with North although I am hoping the Suns get up

Yeah, agreed.
Could be an early subbing here. Hansen with a sore knee
How was that not a free to Gazza?
Suns are looking very good - really enjoying watching this
GOLDY!
Lol Norf.
Seem to turn up every second week.
Suns are looking so composed.
Cannot see North winning this unless they start putting some pressure on.
Circle in Top 8 for GC if they win this.
North are beyond sad.

Hard to actually believe how inconsistent they are
Kick another goal Gary
That's 7
Would love to see Norf held goalless this qtr
Man GC's midfield is quick
Suns looking very composed. Kangas can not seem to get into it. Didged another bullet with Bennel missing.

hey guys, a mate and I were talkin about David Swallow last night and he reckons he started the year priced at like 270k and I said he was about 370k. can't check atm cos I'm on my phone, can anyone tell me what his price was at the start of the year? this is for AF

yeah no where near 270k lol
Gold Coast just dominating at the moment, Norf can't get a piece of it! Keep it up Sunnies, big win on the cards here if they can keep the pressure on.
Tipped North but really really hope Suns can get up!
sick you're a legend vin. yeah that's what I was thinkin MM
Like the way the suns play attacking football puts the boring lock down matches to shame. Go Suns in this game fast becoming my second team.
The importance of Dixon and Bennell to the Suns team is underrated imo. Bennell is just cutting up the North defence while Dixon is getting on the end of a few, getting double teamed though.

This game is killing me for BXV.
Agree Togs - North may need to move Greenwood off Ablett to Bennell.
Hope Suns can win never won at Etihad and averaging losing Margin 71 points.
Greenwood doing a great job so far
Gary pls
Welcome back Harley Bennell! 8) Such a gun. Very happy to see him out there.
Good to see the Suns doing well.
My man Dion has kicked a goal for the second week in a row. :o
Umpires love Norf

Swallow hasn't touched it this qtr after 10 in the first >:(
Come on Gaz, 60 at HT please..
Hope the umps continue to let this game flow. However failed to pay advantage there
That was a seriously horrible decision
Gold Coast got a free kick... Ball goes backwards 50 metres.
While typing, they are getting worse.

I deleted that post because just before the qtr ended I actually saw him and he got a handball
Such a good first qtr, but actually went missing in the entire 2nd

7-2 at 1/4 time so not sure how that is similar. It's getting close, but the GC frees aren't as effective as the North ones. The in the back not given to Ablett is the most in the back I've ever seen.
Just an observation from umpiring this weekend this game included are they being very lax on incorrect disposals. There were 2 in the last few minutes of this game that were not correct didposals.
Traded Prestia in for Dunstan this week ;D

Should have watched last nights Essendon vs Bulldogs game (I know you were at the Gabba) they were paying all the touchwood free kicks and it was so frustrating to watch.

This has been happening throught the entire season. They seem to have completely given up on incorrect disposal unless it is a blatant throw. Countless times this year has a player tried to break tackles, been wrapped up and spun around and let the ball just drop out and yet the umpires refuse to reward the tackler.
LOL that was a great don't argue!
Forgot to take the c off rocky and put it on gaj. #winning
Day... wow
Sensational chase by the big man!
Majak!!!!
What a fantastic chase from Sam Day. Not bad wheels for a 6'5 bloke!
You suck Swallow.

1 handball since 1/4 time. Un flowering believable - of course the week I bring him in he spuds up
LOL @ the supporter waiving an Aboriginal flag when Majak goaled...
cmon Roos!
beautiful kick from Black there
Commentators suggesting Nicholls could be subbed with Dixon into the ruck for the rest of the game. Probably won't affect anyone though :P
Ablett lift man.
Doing well Goldy, keep it up!
Ummm GAJ - was that you? Have never seen that before.
Think GAJ is looking forward to the bye
Nicholls knee injury (PCL)? Here comes the sub.
and theres the sub
Damn that sucks for the guy, I like him.
Good for Goldy though.
Jeez the umps just love Daw. How many flowering free kicks does he want?
Swallow has done nothing since Q1.
soft free. costs a goal
What game are you watching toga!?
Shocking umpiring today
It's the ones north haven't been paid that have screwed us
Come on GC, you can do this.
I love Dion Prestia and Harley Bennell so much.
Gonna be a cracking last quarter. Might have to watch the start of the Tigers game though! :P
3/4 TIME at Etihad Stadium
A very tightly contested third quarter which now sets us up for what could be a thrilling final quarter of football!

Good effort GC! Here come finals you would think!
That brings GC to 5 wins.
Assuming approx 11 wins needed to make finals.
They have easily winnable games vs:
Saints x 2
WB x2
Adelaide
Brisbane
Carlton
and decent chances vs
Sydney
Essendon
WCx2
Gary Ablett is a champion.
Gold Coast are an exciting team to watch, I'm hoping they make the eight.
Would have said Ablett was beaten for most of the day... then he turns up and just does what Gary does.
Just goes to show you can't keep a champion like him down
Should of trusted my gut rather than recent form when tipping this game ::)
