In Harmes Way

I expect the guys to be a bit rusty, and somewhat scrappy with "connection". I'll be OK with this if we give a 4 quarter effort. The amount of games I've been to where it appears we put the cue in the rack after getting out to a three goal lead early in the game..... Do it for Nev. And me.

I was sad to lose Earl Spalding to the Blues

Maybe made himself unavailable after learning that was his role?

I guess 8 changes for the week to give Vanders a start was just a bridge too far...

Based on the fact Burgess suggested in the Injury Report video that both Vanders and Bennell are knocking on the door, I hope they can find a place for Vanders in the side. Whilst I think our suggested 22's above look pretty good, I reckon we're a better team with Vanders in.

According to Luke Jackson’s Instagram, Smith will be playing. His post liked by Smith, so I would say it’s a safe bet

This is looking like the clubhouse leader Werridee - somewhat the oracle. For me, I reckon this 22 with OMac replacing Smith.

Hard to argue those four

And towball Matthew Nicholls

I'm surprised Lyon isn't in the AFL Hall of Fame. Great player, but Neita for me.

This is like being asked to pick which of your children you love the best.

You're not making them easy DL. Gees. Stinger for mine. Had a big man crush on him.

I think a high quality KPF is our last gap atm, but I don’t think it’s Paddy. Hopefully for him he gets healthy, back to playing consistently, and to a high level.

In one of your Hawaiian shirts?

I was also at this game and remember two things vividly - Garry Lyons winning goal snap seemed to go about 600m into the air, and goes even higher as I recall it 30 yrs later, and everybody around me were still celebrating so hard that they weren’t watching Wrenstead run towards goals as I watched in horror. Thank Christ he missed.

I can recommend the t-shirt to all (wearing the polo today). I smile like Jon when I wear mine...

Why does this not surprise me??!

I’m more [censored] off that the girls missed out on a prelim

That last 8 minutes of footy was the best you’ll see this year. The pressure was fantastic, the setup behind the ball was first class. Locked it into the forward half, GWS couldn’t get the ball over the halfway line and into space. They crumbled trying to run the clock down against a desperate and quality opposition. Loved Lily’s celebration of the winner.

This is probably our only trip to Perth this year. Make it count boys.

This would be a great thread of misery stories. My clubhouse leader would be QB (2014?) where we kicked 3 goals for the day and the first one (N Jones) was in the first 45 secs of the game.

Gees I hope we win on Sunday so I don't have to revisit this thread.

He should be knighted for turning up in 2012 and 2013.

I was pretty happy when he nailed that goal early in the last qtr vs. Geelong in the 2018 finals. He’s done well over his time with those captains goals from around 50.
