Big opportunity for us if we can get over the line v Perth. Need Claremont to upset Swans as well. A relief to see Boland back.

Out L Delahunty, A Heal

Ben the team looks much better balanced with Boland back, he tends to straighten them up. Hopefully we can correct our horrendous goal kicking as this will bite us badly if it continues into finals, we saw what it did against EF.

Any news on Dela's injury? looked like it was a repeat of the previous which means around 4 weeks. Real shame as he will lose match conditioning coming up to finals.

On paper we should win but who knows which Perth team will turn up. They have the ability on their day to push any team in the comp so we must go in with a ruthless attitude. We still have a chance of top 2 so need to keep the pressure on.

Yeah, Delahunty is a big loss mate.

But very glad to get Boland back as you say. He and Yarran compliment each other very well. If they can remain fit and in form in partnership I think we are in with a good chance against the other finals contenders including EP.

Good to see young Jackson getting a chance too.

Any comments about Jackson, have not seen a lot of him, looks like a big bulky type forward....possibly like troy Wilson was ..is this a fair assessment

Fair dinkum this is a percentage booster for you blokes. We do not have 1 decent midfielder.

Actually our best midfielder is Tropiano. What the f*ck does that say about us

I thought he is a fullback?

Yeah full back.

Good smart, close checking player.

I like the look of the jumper the boys will wear tomorrow. Then again, I believe our current jumper is the best we have ever had. (Besides the 'gold' yellow jumper with the maroon lion of course...)
At least our jumper for tomorrow doesn't have the all blue we wore recently.

Missed the game but had a quick look at the replay. Like the look of the special QBE jumpers and the old hoop socks. Thought Hampson and Yarran were our best, Hampson especially he just reads the ball and moves so well. Bevan needs to be given 3 weeks minimum for his shoulder charge, Mahoney was not in a good way and there was nothing accidental about it he was deliberately taken out.
