Gary Ablett is back, and so too is another veteran SUN ahead of Saturday’s clash against West Coast at Metricon Stadium.
Gold Coast has made two changes to the side that went down to Melbourne in Alice Springs last weekend. Ablett will be joined in the team by Matt Rosa who has been cleared by medical staff after suffering prolonged concussion symptoms.
Ablett, who missed the trip to the Northern Territory to manage a troublesome shoulder, has been gradually building back to his disposal-accumulating best – sitting equal-fifth in the competition for possession gained, alongside the Eagles counterpart Andrew Gaff.
Brad Scheer and Brayden Fiorini will make way for Ablett and Rosa, as a result the team will gain 475 games worth of experience.
