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

oacar allen back in

kozzy dislocated finger?

oscar allen maybe out

poor quarter but margin has remained level, no alarms just yet. lets hope we're awake for a big 4th.

chandler gets a lot of flak here, but im always impressed by the forward line physicality he brings, tackles everywhere and hes almost always got the most in the game. Love or hate him he's playing an important role.

i feel we say this every week now, absolutely deserves an extra year on his contract after this season!

a prophecy perhaps

everyone will be talking about roo, but how good is Rivers!!

we started off q2 poor, but we seem to have adapted to their new pressure now and are back to firing

King is just so unreliable now, would rather Roo kicking 2-3 each week over King kicking 6 then going MIA next week
