Sorry! Didn't even bother to look at the date.

11am! Why so early, I wonder?

I would be surprised if there wasn't a live stream.

Didn't want to start another thread for this, but I'll say it has a slight relevance to this game. The other prelim is the Lions v Sydney Uni.

I noticed that one T.Derickx snuck in for a game in the last round of the season for Uni and also played in their win against Aspley yesterday. A Swans-Uni grand final with eX-Swans on the other side (HiscoX, DerickX and X.Richards) would be incredibly eXciting!

That means there will be an admission charge to the ground.

Is it on before or after the NEAFL game?

jumping ahead early but if swans and sydney uni were to both win and be in grand final next week....is there any possibility of the game being a curtain raiser to the bombers game?

Here's an article previewing the match: http://neafl.com.au/in-form-gold-coa...rhouse-sydney/.

Seems we have a psychological edge having beaten the Suns 3 times already this season. As against that:

The Suns will be bolstered by the return of multiple AFL-listed players after the conclusion of the AFL season last week, with includes the likes of Mitch Hallahan, Max Spencer, Darcy Macpherson, Trent McKenzie, Michael Rischitelli and Brad Scheer.

?This week?s match will have a lot to do with what we get back from our AFL side. I think we had eight AFL players (against NT) and we are eligible to get back six, which we will certainly take,? Daniel said.

ugg, got any more mail? Any idea which players we'll be playing yet? Now that Sinkers and Tippo look on track to have recovered from injury before our first final, it sounds like Sammy's a lock despite Roos' ruminations about putting him on ice during the Carlton game. I suppose there's a good chance of getting back Cunningham. I wouldn't think we'll be holding back any of our other listed players. Given that we are playing against another AFL club, can we play unlimited listed players?

Conversely, if we use toppies, which are the most likely to get the call up? If Sydney Uni lose this weekend and we win, is there any chance we could call up any of their players as top-ups for the granny?

Based on the discussion last week, I don't think Cunningham is eligible this week. He doesn't meet the direct qualification requirements (ie he's played too many AFL games and not enough NEAFL games) and he won't have been "not selected" in the senior team this weekend because there won't be a senior team selected. If he hadn't played in the round 23 senior game he'd be eligible but since he was, I don't think he can play.

Naismith, if fit, seems the most likely to return, despite not directly meeting the qualification requirements. If I understand the rules correctly I think Hanners and Papley could theoretically play, but there's a close to zero chance of Hanners playing and a not much greater chance of Papley. If they'd missed a significant amount of footy there might be a temptation to give them a run, but as it is, I'm close to certain they'll just get an extra week off to recover from their niggles and be right for the Essendon game next weekend.

If we win and Cunningham loses his spot in the senior team, I believe he would be eligible to play in the NEAFL GF.

And yes, I think we can play as many listed players as are available / we want to play given the opponent is Gold Coast.

As liz mentioned Cunningham would be unavailable. Dawson should come back in having missed this game having traveled to Adelaide as an emergency. Naismith has already been mentioned as a definite starter by Longmire in Monday's press conference. I doubt we will see Hannebery or Papley.

Florent went off with an injury in Q1 but no mention of him in the injury report.

So expect 19 or 20 players to front up!


Interesting the Gold Coast coach mentioned he would get back six players from the seniors that played their R23 game. By my interpretation of the rules, this shouldn't be possible.
