Not going. Gave my ticket to a family member.

Completely disillusioned with entire club.

From Busselton to Perth
Should be fun
Good bunch of supporters

You live in Perth.

Doesn't come around that often in WA.

Sorry to hear the Baggers have a negative impact on your mental help.

That's the spirit Trevor.

Not even a Mal Brown haymaker can stop you.

Sounds like fun.

Exactly Bondi.

They are losing the rusted on.

Sat through and supported through false down after false dawn after false dawn.

We are a basket case, again. There is no excuse for it and I don’t accept it.

Rust never sleeps

I'm keen to watch some of our Trade Targets play.

I wonder if SOS plays this week. Chinka and Evans should be available too.

A few players were really disappointing last night.

Motlop was really bad imo. No Agenda. Just consistently poor this year for mine.
I love what Durdin can bring with his pace, but he's just not completing plays.

The cupboard is bare, with the exception of HB's and small forwards.

Wouldn't mind seeing Lemmey for TDK/ Pitto (if we know TDKs leaving, drop him) and Wilson for Doc.

Milestone game alert!

I believe its Charlie's 150th game this week.

Good, another milestone game we can flop in.

At least one of our half-arsiest players should be focused!

The injury list doesn't give us a true picture of who is unavailable.

I think Flynn Young and Evans are back, but no news re L.Young, or O'Keefe,, or Cincotta. Lemmey done a hammy. Ben Campo suspended

I think the only other mature bodies are Boyd and maybe Cincotta returns after his fortnightly one week rest

O’Keefe played last VFL match so was already off the injury list. L Young was available to play last Thursday but wasn’t selected, and VFL team had a bye so didn’t play vfl either. He’s also off the injury list since last week.

Cincotta is a strange one with no mention, assume he’s available too.

So if Cincotta is available we only have an injury list of ten, including EH

I think it's 11 out if F Young and Frankie both pass their tests.

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
Ben Camporeale Suspension Round 23
Matt Cottrell Foot Season
Francis Evans Concussion Test
Orazio Fantasia Hamstring TBC
Brodie Kemp Achilles Season
Harry Lemmey Hamstring 3-4 weeks
Mitch McGovern Hamstring 1 week
Nic Newman Knee Season
Jack Silvagni Groin/Arse TBC
Jagga Smith Knee Season
Sam Walsh Foot TBC
Flynn Young Foot Test
Elijah Woods Off with Fairies Forever

O'Keefe didn't play last VFL game vs Casey. Rested?

Cincotta after 2 games in a row was given a week off then returned, then another week off, and due to return...I'd called that "Managed", still not on list.

By my numbers we will have 11 missing this week, if Cincotta, L.Young and O'Keefe are back, and F.Young and Evans are given the all clear.

Yeah, I forgot to include Ben C.

Ah my bad, I thought I saw O'Keefe playing against Casey

It will be interesting to see what happens with Pittonet and TDK, we can't play both this weekend if Harry is still available. Pittonet is in better form than TDK, but TDK is (should be) fitter and has more potential upside.

Do we invest in improving TDK for the future or go with a more guaranteed competitor? If we're ok to let Silvagni go we should be ok to de-prioritise investment in TDK's development if he can't commit.

Probably two guaranteed changes with Docherty and one of TDK/Pitto out.
Perhaps Cincotta and Evans in?

Agreed, if H is in he has to be 2nd ruck.

I've not watched Sean Darcy a lot this year but people say he's medium-rare cooked; if so then I'd go with TDK and hope he can run the old gronk off his feet. Against prime Darcy I'd go PittoJet.

There's also the 100 game target if you're into that kind of thing... but also every chance DKJr would qualify for Saints or just go to Geelong with the rest of the clan, so who GAF really...
