Gold Coast v Carlton, Round 18, 2013

ossie85 · July 26, 2013, 08:19:28 AM

The Suns no longer have the excuse of 'expansion team' after its midfield demolition of Collingwood and the Blues never had an excuse. A finals spot on the line for Carlton!

We should get up but Suns have been very good this year considering they are a fairly new side.

Come on Blues ! :)

Gold Coast are up and about, while they probably can't make finals, they can cause a bit of carnage and dash the hopes of a few teams, Carlton being one of them. I hope and think the Suns will win this. At Metricon which definitely doesn't help the Blues.

Watch the Gold Coast win tonight

I actually wouldn't put it past them to win nearly all of their remaining games. After this they have the Eagles in the west, Dees at Metricon, Port at AAMI, Saints at Etihad and the Giants at Metricon. Yeah, it's unlikely (especially the Eagles and Port away) but who knows?

Think the Suns can get over the Blues today.
Will be quite warm around 23 degrees a possible shower as well. Dixon returning for the Suns will be a plus as well.
With Bennell getting match fitness and improving every game the reliance on Ablett is getting less and less. If Prestia is ruled out with his injury then the Blues come in a bit.
O'Meara or Stanley will tag the great one Judd whilst Carazzo will more than likely tag Ablett. Whether he follows him to the forward line is problematical.

Go the Suns as I dislike the Blues

I'm nervous now :-[

Two late changes for the SUNS @DionPrestia and @rorythompson16 out, replaced by Timmy Sumner and @J_Gillbee #AFLSUNSBlues

Ringo · July 27, 2013, 12:25:43 PM

Suspect Prestia may be out and Thompson to be 50/50 myself should know in the next half hour or so.

Jroo · July 27, 2013, 12:36:00 PM

@AFL: #AFLSunsBlues - Dion Prestia & Rory Thompson out. Replaced by Jacob Gillbee and Tim Sumner. Josh Bootmsa out. Replaced by Jaryd Cachia
@AFL: #AFLSunsBlues - Subs: Jacob Gillbee (Gold Coast Suns) and Jaryd Cachia (Carlton)

Missive outs for the Suns. I reckon the Blues may get home now.

Jackross10 · July 27, 2013, 12:47:29 PM

Blues by 32 and gaz to score 117.

Nige · July 27, 2013, 12:57:50 PM

Honestly don't even know how or why Cachia was dropped and Boots was in to begin with. :P
