Harmes on the wing is a strange one. Baker didn't nail down the spot down so let's see how he goes Otherwise its the best available to us Congrats Clayton Oliver on 100 games. Great effort.

Just change the "c" to "k" in honor of Oskar Baker. Another who'll face more than his fair share of criticism.

Less rotations is bound to have a significant impact. I’m hoping our superior fitness gives us an edge here. Of course there’ll be unintended consequences and coaches will adjust. I think it’s going to be a really interesting season in terms of how the game changes and evolves.

3.30pm west coast time which is 6.30pm here. Sounds right.

That feeling in your gut. It's MFCSS. We'll win

Knee replacement. Hopefully your back on your feet soon

Must have been your Arthritis playing up again Dieter ?

Hopefully your premonition is wrong I'll be returning to this post tomorrow Praha.

And I can’t recall too many of the experts here suggesting we should play Oscar forward. Hindsight is a wonderful thing indeed.

Folks, some perspective. He was delisted for a reason. A good lad who didn’t deserve the abuse he copped here but who nonetheless I think deserved to be delisted. He’s has 1 good game in a Carlton shirt. Let’s see how he goes next week. I’ll be happy for him if he’s successful but I won’t be second guessing our list decision if he is. I think the fresh start and new surrounds is what Oscar needed for his career. Best of luck to him.

I think the AFLW is so much better because Jason Bennett isn’t a big personality. No bombast or hysteria. Just calls it as it is. Plain and simple. I think the fact he isn’t an ex footballer helps as well. BT is too overpowering. I’m trying to follow the action but find myself shaking my head at his over-the-top nonsense. He distracts me from the game. And just remember Folks the mute button is there for a reason. Use it.

Didn’t sleep that well last night. Excitement building. Doubt if I’ll get too much productive work done today either. What time are the teams announced?

HOw bad was that from McKay.

That’s a couple of goals kicked tonight because of the new man on the mark rule. Plowman never kicks that otherwise.

McKay is over-hyped. having a poor night tonight.

Straight and true. Onya Oscar

Classic Martin goal. The don;t argue, and snap for goal.

Looked like an obvious deliberate to me

Quiet a fluent game. Not many stoppages. Both teams pinging the ball around.

I know it's dining out on past glories but we have 12 premierships cups in our trophy cabinet. How many does Freo have? That's right. NONE. Losers

Hopefully GWS soften up the saints before we play them next week. Pies and doggies will be interesting. Wouldn't mind seeing the pies take a pasting and the pressure comes on buckley right from the get go.

Jordon doesn’t need to be a gun. We have plenty of top end talent as it is We need foot soldiers who will play the team role, defend, block, tackle, run both ways. If he does that he’ll be an asset for us.

Ask him what the base line expectations are this year in terms of ladder position and consequences for our head coach should expectations not be met.

Good luck young man

Burgess will have us primed. We'll run it out ok. MFCSS will be at its strongest from now until ball up. Try to resist.
