Is there any reason why not 100 lucky home members chosen through raffle, could be allowed to watch the game live if spread out around the ground? Would at least create some atmosphere and remove the need for ballboys.

Absolutely, I’m surprised the AFL isn’t all over it

Agreed.

You’d think at absolute max there might be 200 people in the ground

So should be able to do something to get fan engagement at the ground if can have <500

Perhaps however it’s about risk to players catching something from a fan. The fact they even playing at all is somewhat of a miracle.

What the chance there’s more hiding in the boxes and dining rooms than we think. Hmmmm

Would love us to smash the dockers like the pies have done to the bulldogs but I’m expecting a ■■■■ fight all game with us scraping over the line by 2 goals

Tonight’s game proved it

Did anyone else notice that in the video posted on Instagram (team meeting with fans sending messages of support) that Phillips was in there.

Didn’t see any other players in the video outside of the 22 selected…

Ham was there IIRC

Both emergencies

In saying that I still expect a change

think we will win easily tbh.

Hope you are right mate time we start belting sides bellow us

our back and forwward line looks light but we have a lot of quick damaging players in that side,.

Our game is live on Fox Sports 1 in America.

Good exposure in prep for next year.

We are going to look comparatively short tomorrow, and it won’t just be the grass.

Let’s hope we are smart enough to use that to our advantage.
