A fully fit Big Red would be nice LH ..especially to balance out the plethora of Eagles at the other mob!!

I reckon EP need all those WCE boys to counter balance the plethora of non local fellas holding up SDFC first 22.

As for EF obvious choke in losing 3 GF in 2012 and not backing it up this year, i am going to take a leaf out of Swandogs book and not pin the blame on the EFFC or the players.......I am going blame those despicable yellow maggots for their bias and hatred against the EFFC............it was plain to see in those two last home & away games that the umps were under a powerful directive from the WAFL to have the SDFC in the 2013 finals instead of the EFFC............can totally understand the WAFL line of thinking,I don't necessarily like it tho.

Now I understand totally what Raponi was saying to his good mate Swandog that sunny afternoon at Steel Blue.....cloak and dagger stuff about who are the major WAFL game players,who wears the WAFL pants and all that..... EF ruined the party last year with their surprise prelim win over SD and than followed it up with those pathetic choking like performances in all 3 games on GF day.......under no circumstances was this to happen again......a line was crossed, never to be crossed again!!

I just hope the powers above don't do to EF what they obviously did to the SDFC between 1934 - 1961 and 1990 - 2010 and what they are currently doing to the PFC since 1977.....but hey it has been a bit dry for EFFC since 1998 mmmmm doesn't look good, gotta feeling there's a Grassy like conspiracy going on here.....but hey as Raponi said to Swandog, the WAFL have finally realised it needs the SDFC.... sadly it seems a wee bit more than the EFFC..but hey at least the umps are on board now, so I guess that's a plus for every SDFC fan ......may the conspiracy thrive and prosper then.....especially, if it's for the WAFL's greater good!!

Yeah because other than the plethora of Eagles at their disposal (none of whom originally come from EP) all of EP's key players are all home grown like Johnson, Smith, Swan, Wulff (Thornlie- Perths zone) hey freeze!!

West Coast by 25 points...

It is my understanding that Hansen remained as a registered player for Swan Districts. A tremendous fillip for Swans that he holds Swans in such high regard.

Surely they can't be serious and are blowing smokescreens with this Hansen thing. Free media exposure for the game??? Bit of a kick in the face to the rest of the squad if they go ahead. If it happens and SD lose I'd say Harding & Co will kiss their jobs goodbye.

What I can say unequivocally and unambiguously that he is listed in the budget for this week end at number 10.

I believe that it may have been several weeks in the making.

agree DW...massive risk for SDFC to take & as you say, if blows up in their faces someone will be left with manure all over their hands...

surely Swans are taking the p-ss with all of this, not even Toddy would pull a move like this and he did some strange things..

Dont you have to play a minimum 5 games in the year to qualify?

If he plays it just takes the pressure off Geappen and Tony Notte. A forward line of Hansen, Garlett, Cameron, Geappen, Simpson and Embley.will trouble anyone, even West Coast Reserves.
I say let him play.
Also no you don't Terror only AFL listed players do I believe.

except he hasnt played a game of footy all year..
