Roost it far

May, JVR, Jordan and Hibberd must all be a chance this weekend. This is a roll up your sleeves and get dirty weekend more so than most. The 4 above will all give you that level of effort, it's just how they roll. The outs for mine are Gawn, Melksham, McVee and Harmes. Can't see Goodwin making 4 changes though.

If we get picks 9-11, 13 and 28ish in this years draft for a player who helped us win a Premiership in his second year I for one will be stoked. We can trade those picks up the order and pick one of the best young talents in the land. Player movements are part of the game now and our club has proven really good at maximising the benefits of this. I liked LJ and would have loved him to stay but his bed has $7 million in it and it's near all his mates and family, good luck to the kid.

Jackson's 2 games in, give the kid a chance. What is he, 21? It'll be 3 -4 years before he reaches his potential. I hope at that point he tears the competition apart in a side that struggles to play beyond the first week of finals.

Faaaaaaaarrrrrreekkkkkk yeh!

Where’s Shache?

Just not a spud by the sounds of it

He can stay there

Surely a reporter followed him

Are we there yet?

The News followed by Shock Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance and Hope Processing the grief OR The news followed by Elation Happiness Joy Triumph Wonder etc etc

Faaaaaarrrrrrrrccccckkkkkk

Anyone else finding the wait for results kind of excruciating?

Feeling better already.

The result of the game is of no consequence to our season, the result of Max's scan is of every consequence to our season. Fingers crossed Demonlanders, I'm an optimist by heart but I'm worried he's gone for the season.

Well my prediction proved a little enthusiastic 😂

Might only be a 6 goal win with Gawn out

In the wash up of this years Premiership win by us someone will do an article headed "Operation Salem". It'll be all about how we managed his early season setbacks and got him cherry rip for finals where he utterly destroyed it. I for one am looking forward to reading it.

It'll basically be a training run for us. We'll just be using it to run Viney, May and Fritsch back into some form. Viney will likely steamroll someone very early on and after that they'll set up as witches hats. We'll be on top after tonight and that's basically the season done. Just hand us the Cup!

One more time 😂😜

Harmes on Neale may change your view

We could beat Brisbane with our midfield 4 and Casey fill ins. They're weak and we aren't.

I think we have the backup this year. I think it’s a given that neither TMac or Brown will play every game. Wouldn’t it be nice to win back to back flags with JVR ripping it to shreds.

So what I’m hearing is that JVR can’t run or kick……😜

Harmes will go to Neale, he’s not being dropped or being the sub

I'll respectfully disagree. Maybe plodder is the wrong term, he's a B grader with A grade smarts and endurance. Picking out one sentence of a three post, beautifully written diatribe is also quite unfair.
