I'd watch it. It would be my best chance of seeing a black and gold team win this year.

It's a pity they're not allowing the 25m penalty option. It's a sensible rule. I think a 4-man bench is fair enough though given the bigger grounds in Perth.

I bet if he was appointed Glenelg coach it would be well received.

Looks to be a reasonable strong squad.
As always, there appears to be a number of players who have been chosen based on last year's form rather than anything they have done this season.
Very happy to see Lachlan Mcgregor chosen in the squad and a well-deserved selection. A couple of years ago he was playing country footy after things (somehow) didn't work out with Glenelg. For whatever reason, his form has been exceptional in his second crack at SANFL league footy with the Eagles. Makes you wonder how many other similar young players are playing bush footy who have the talent to make it at SANFL league level.

There is little to no interest from media or general public and does anyone really care who wins? I couldn't give a rats.
Given we have all been told how money is tight for the league this seems like an obvious thing to drop to cut costs.
