At the G against the Tigers in from of a big crowd
Doesn’t get any better regardless of the players that are out there

Is the new coach bringing players with him?
If not he’s not required

he might bring some mongrel and strike fear into the players to fight for victory! He might also not be a ranga. Rangas dont win flags lol

I also find it a little bit Op Shoppy when youve got Kenny's brides lining the Carlton boundary and steering the ship.... Voss, Davies & Boak.

Like lets employ Ports hand-me-downs who havent won anything between them.

Give me Longmire & Adam Simpson over the Power's back up brigade anyday

If the Bar/ Bistro area at the Corner Hotel is any guide, it’ll be a decent crowd tonight.

Nope
We will be competitive in patches but I just don’t see us troubling too many sides.
Be nice if the coach gives the kids a good run at it rather than the sme old duds that let us down week after week
