god dammit i didn't notice it till you said this

Un-preface, I'm calling this biased now.

Preface: not calling anything biased, but it's really strange how the umpires are pinging about everything but then HTB isn't being called against either team.

part of it is, any rebound goes straight to a freo player

everyone agree chins marking incident was a footy act? dont think thatll go to mro.

may having a shocker

thats a soft high call

yikes

it doesnt matter how well he does individually, hes basically like having a forward coach on the ground who slots a couple himself too

if sydney win and we win by a few goals, top 4 here we come.

Quietly very confident about Sunday... we're on a roll right now, and Freo's not. Paired with their horror flight and a surprise loss last week, the boys can get the job done. We win this, and we're somehow a chance to make top 4.

Generally that's the case, but not always. I think the AFL expects teams to be named in that way, and if anything else happens there's a small process to go through to formalise the change. A couple weeks ago we dropped Woey I believe after he was named on the ground in the extended squad. But generally you can assume that sub is named from players on the bench, and in the case of extended squads, 4 of them will be on the bench, 1 sub and 3 emergencies.

last year it was 4 named on bench and 4 emergencies, with sub to be selected from the emergencies. this year its 5 bench and 3 emergencies with sub named from bench.

generally seems that they love him but he's not ready and they want to give him as much time as they can to build

no way windsor or disco go out or sub in my opinion, both amazing last week. Only chances for a drop or sub are bowey and (hopefully not) kolt

goldstein vs no ruck probably wouldve smoked us, the big worry for me is darcy, we can deal with just jackson fine (in no way am I saying darcy is better than jacko, just that a full ruckman like darcy will smoke 3 non ruckmen)

Depending on weather, I'd swap Fullarton for Petty (assuming Max not fit), maybe if there conditions are completely perfect we try Verrall but probably not. I dont think we can risk the no ruck play against a dual ruck team with two strong rucks, think we need at least a real ruck to play on Darcy.

sorry guys my bad, i was late paying the cloud seeder so he's stopped early

no media conference today?

the boys did amazingly, especially the kids. Second halves could use some tidying up still but super proud of them. Standouts in rivers, windsor, kolt and JVR and theyre all 22 or under! Bring on the Dons, we've got this.

rivers best on

damn, that wouldve made it 10 goals and us in the 8 :(

lets kick one more to make it a lazy 10 goal win please

very boring 4th

poor quarter, at least kozzys back in tho
