Home ground.

I think May will get Hawkins.

Is Petty ready after such a long absence?

It's probably more the people that make some of these remote places fascinating. It is pretty cool once you hit the red dirt. It's so iconic

I forget how vast and wonderful this land of ours truly is. Still the lucky country compared to many.

It's one hell of a drive Bitters. But sounds great. Back when swine flu hit, I loaded up my young family and drove from Melbourne to Port Douglas. Stopped at every Maccas on the way . Took about 2 weeks. The highlight for my 4 year old son was a dead pig on the side of the road not far from Townsville. Oh the memories. Don't know how many times I pointed out the sugercane. You could swing through Broken Hill. Though not sure what it has to offer and not sure if you need a 4wd. Then sun yourself later on in Mildura. Personally I think outback SA has more to see especially Cooper Pedy.

Better to return via Barossa.

Currently using our homes equity to feed my lad. Chicken nuggets provide good value and added growth hormones.

Some history with the Eagles.

May usually gets Hawkins.

Agreed. I could give this a like coz ot makes me look really harsh. Ouch.

The big difference about 21 was a dream run re lack of injuries.

Sorry to be picky but can you please dub in the Nutcracker theme?

Really hoping for Kozzie to lift in this one. I love his pressure acts but I want him to impact the scoreboard more. No More high flying attempts. Stick to what you do best. Also would like Chandler to show some of his marvellous form from earlier on this season.

I get the feeling the Afl is in panic mode at present.

Maybe poor Bowser doesn't get back in . With Salo and Hibbo in form, it's tough to get a gig. Sparrow and Spargo from KB allows Petty and Oliver back in. Not ideal outs but it's shows we finally have some strong competition for spots.

Now for the trifecta.

Jvr coming in to stick up for Smith after so called dangerous tackle was a good thing too.

Great goal sense. Best hair in the comp.

Can we just get rid of umpire appreciation week. Tx.

Bowey will struggle to get back in due to Salo. Tommo was simply excellent, so you can't drop him. Oliver obviously comes back in. From Monday's game , Oliver comes back in for Spargo. As for Petty's return, it's a tough call, if he plays forward. Perhaps Sparrow. It hinges upon Smith playing some even better footy. Assuming he does and this new combo works then I guess Bowey, Sparrow and Spartacus out seems tough but shows we have players in good nick and some decent depth. I guess it depends on who we play, if Bowser gets a look in.

My thoughts exactly. Smith in for Spargo still leaves us with plenty of crumbing potential with the smalls you nominated. I often think Friita is a hard match up but throwing in Smith makes it very difficult.

Maybe not completely. ( That tackle of his was wonderful though) But he could go close to replicating a small crumbing role. Perhaps we have been too top heavy with smalls anyway. Spargo, Kozzie and Chandler haven't really been kicking heaps of goals lately. I also think Fritta crumbs very well so do we really need all the others?

Good point. As a defender he was good enough to go with Charlie Cameron. So yea, your right he could play by taking a smalls position. Would make for a really interesting mix of forwards. I hope his form continues as I'd love to see the permutation you came up with.

Was loud on the c7 broadcast too. Tx peeps.
