[1] 14 listed Blues, but we may have as few as 11. Interesting to see if any of the Emergencies play.

[2] Moir and Chesser injured. Particularly poor timing for Moir, who had to have been in the picture to replace H. We have so few taller players, to lose Moir is a huge blow.

[4] We will miss Hogg, who has been a mainstay for the VFL side. Not having Tucker available is also a huge loss.

[5] Interesting to see Duffy named on a wing. To be honest, that was probably where he was originally aimed to play. Does he have the run these days?

[6] 3 rucks. I must admit I don't like that all that much, but hopefully one or more than take a few big grabs in the forward line. Not sure I'd trust any of them kicking for goal, but we have to have someone tall.

[7] I look at the Gold Coast side and I wonder how they've won so few games. There is some serious talent out there! They have a huge forward line! Read, Ugle-Hagan, Knobel and Witts, just for talls. Hopefully, they play as poorly as they have, but at some point that much talent had to fire.
