Of all the times in the past that they haven’t brought Zerk in, this is a particularly odd time to bring him in.

For Redman?

Ah, who cares anymore.

I’d absolutely play both Jetta and Atkinson in this side.

I’m guessing the bench will be Jones, Caldwell, Phillips and Tex. Hind (or maybe Cutler) for the medical extra.

I think the selectors are playing scrabble with all the Js and Zs in the backline.

Zerk would be for dixon i imagine

Oh boy… That’s a big, tall, slow backline.

Ah well, I’m sure it’ll be fine. As long as it stays dry and the mids bring that manic pressure, it shouldn’t be a worry.

Well it’s Port Adelaide in Adelaide in the Sunday twilight spot.

And we are 2-8

That’s broken. If Port win it helps lock in our top 5 draft pick if we win I feel happy for a Sunday evening.

Win win.

Time to worry then.

Could you imagine peak Leroy in an intra club right now?

Would kick 7 on Heppell.

I really feel this 60 point loss coming up in adelaide is the time to fully embrace the tank, no longer looking to casually date it and time to move on to something more serious, but is it too early to be talking about which draft prospects we’ll be ruining with our development programs over the next 3 years?
