We are only 1 game old, we also have a pretty young group that has to prove themselves. Should be a close one I reckon.

You look through the fixtures for an easy four points and there are none this year.

Unless everybody is thinking that about us? Hope not. We'll be tough opposition.

And for goodness sake any neutrals out there, come to the game. Bugger the AFL game on TV. Tape it.

Didnt he pretty much spend a season at full forward?

Brenton Cooper was 5'11" and he kicked 90 goals for Perth in 1994.

Gary Fathers & Peter Munro weren't overly tall full forwards...

Gum will miss the first half of the season with an ankle injury & McDougall is less than a month away from playing...

Bad news about Gum mate. I guess we knew the risks with a lot of these recruits though.

Yes I am thinking of going. It should be a good match. I take it the bars will be open. When are the reserves playing.

Peter Munro - There's a player who knew how to take a mark !!! Just a little side bump to the fullback and el-presto a simple mark to the FF.

All above board - smart player - but the delivery was the key.

Yeah mate all the bars are open.

Bit of a shake up in the schedule with the colts playing before the league this week at 4.15pm.

Great idea - I'll try to get there a bit early and see some of the colts
