That lineup is a little bit thin.
MONTEATH WILL SAVE US.
This better not mean we’re flying Nguyen over just to be a freaking emergency!
How good is it seeing Hayes back
Lock it in
It would make sense for all 26 to be in Perth. This is the problem with AFL Sunday games.
Jones and Huss are here.
So only 1 travelling emergency? Nguyen?
Unintended advantage to the already successful clubs. They get more Thurs/Fri/Sat games, so don’t have to compromise development and fitness of their fringe players.
Yes, we’ve seen footage of Nguyen over there.
Decent breeze to the school end: seen a few kicks to the Napier goal just stop. Kick low at that end!
Successful clubs and 2025 Essendon, who inexplicably had 13 Thursday/Friday night games last year.
Hayes looks like he’s spent a chunk of time in the gym.
I hope they give Gerreyn some ruck time
We are going to get mauled today.
Cricket score. I just turned off.
Jones has been busy.
