Are you across who the premier of Western Australia is? Not a chance in hell they’d provide that exemption to Jones.

I could probably live with a GF loss this year if it meant winning the next 5 at the G.

Very disappointing for Smith given he’s forever injured. As per the poster who dropped the news in the other thread, he’s one of the more replaceable players.

10-1-1. Loss against Dogs in round 19 Draw against Hawthorn in round 18 1 loss in the 1:45 slot (GWS) 1 loss in the 3:20 slot (Collingwood) 1 loss in the 4:40 slot (Adelaide) I’ll get back to you on how our record is in Perth grand finals, specifically the 5:10pm WST time slot.

Bowey isn’t that key in that he can be replaced by Hunt. Smith isn’t that key in that he can be replaced by Hibberd. Sparrow isn’t that key in that he can be replaced by Jordon (albeit in different roles but should get similar output) A severely out of form T Mac can be replaced by Weid. (A moderately inform TMac would be missed though) Even Harmes isn’t that key in that he isn’t the most accountable mid (was he on Neale?) and is prone to sloppy disposal. I won’t lose any sleep if any of those 5 are out.

He showed in his two or three games this year that the games has gone past him. Wouldn’t be anywhere near selection.

Did we go in favourites and expected win? North weren’t exactly a mug team that year and lost a game the week before to the premiers after the siren.

Port have been given the red carpet entry to a premiership this year Would be an absolute indictment on Hinkley if they fail yet again.

Will clearly be the next captain after Gawn.

ANB corked calf but will play on Friday night.

What a shame for him. Clearly won’t be seen again this year. Although one could argue he was never coming back in regardless.

Ch 7 news reporting we’ve copped an injury but will have to wait until 6:45 to see who it is.

For what’s is worth, West Coast beat Collingwood 3 times in 2018, so it can be done.

If Port are half serious this year, they take care of the Dogs next week considering they’ve slept in the same bed for 3 weeks.

This has a reek of 2016 about it. Dogs pulling finals wins out of their behinds.

Dogs into the GF?

I can’t work out the hatred for Weightman around here. A classy small forward that clearly loves his footy and plays with 100% excitement and passion. What am I missing?

Weightman subbed out and will miss the prelim.

Probably because they don’t even bother playing a ruckman.

As mentioned above he can purchase a special membership which gives him access to the grand final, and hence no need to put somebody’s membership in jeopardy.

Sounds like he wants a freebie.

And O’Connor

Totally agree with all that but if we somehow don’t win a premiership this year and fade into the wilderness for the next 15 years I’ll be just plain flabbergasted. The list is constructed and coached to win a flag today. And if it doesn’t win today its constructed to win a flag next year and/or the following 4 IMO. If we don’t win the GF, I’m bullish we’ll break the drought next year in front of the faithful, and what a day that would be for all of us starved Victorians that have barely seen a game since rd 22 2019.

Oh for goodness sake. please don’t show the players this tweet!

Corky. Don’t get excited.
