Unbelievable isn’t it. When you consider we have 47 on our list (thanks to 4 MSD picks) so that leaves 29 to select 26 players from including emergencies.

30 available from 48. Unbelievable
It would be so Essington to bring him back half-fit for a meaningless game so that he can be re-injured and miss all of pre-season.

Much worse when you START with 30 players: Melbourne AFLW played an Essendon VFLW player last week.

Maybe we could borrow a player or two from Box Hill VFL or some of the familiar faces at Port Melbourne?
Didn’t we play the saints back in 2008 with maybe 1 uninjured player not picked? We had Rhys Magin an John Williams in the team, absolute bottom of the barrel… am I remembering that right?

Wedding anniversary Friday…pulling out all the stops…to avoid the game…Mrs Grenvold one lucky lady.
That day we got married in 2015 we got smashed by the Crows at Marvel. Think it ended up being Hirdy’s last game as coach?! Good times!

Won’t stop the gameday thread blowing up when we lose the game or look disconnected and not in sync either how they play. We should be winning this you’d be mistaken into believing
