Liked the cover for "Some enchanted evening", Astronomy the live version has a great guitar solo..

"(We are) playing at (Marvel Stadium), fast deck, against a team that moves the ball probably the fastest in the AFL, and some of the best ball movement in the AFL," Longmuir said.

This from Longmuir ⬆️ afl website

Can you believe he's talking about Carlton 🤔

Not sure but it might be due to exposed form of our teams and our opposition.    The pies are turning out to be a tough opponent this year, Richmond are the reigning premiers and we were in both of those matches until about half way into the final quarter. 

Freo are missing a few star players to injury, they have had a 5 goal loss to Melbourne here in round one, back to Perth for round 2 against gws who look a spent force, and now fly back to Melbourne for round 3.  On travel alone we get a slight advantage.  Minus fyfe, walters, Logue, lobb, hill and Hamling theyre without a fair chunk of their walk up starts in each line.

A true sign we have to take the next step is that we shouldn't be going in heavy favourites if they were at full strength but really, they are a relative question mark so on exposed form and availability the betting odds are probably right to favour us.

Im no expert here but as people wager the odds shift too so I think its right that we are going in favourites and a bit of money must be coming our way to be much shorter.

BOC were/are a great band, Buck Dharma a very under rated axeman and of course Dont Fear the Reaper a classic track.
Graham Bonnet springs to mind during games with "Its all over now Baby Blue"..😫


Sorry for off topic, but wow... EB1, top shelf comments re BOC! Don't Fear the Reaper... gotta be in the top 10 of opening guitar riffs ever... Buck is still wowing them. Not sure if this comment will make sense, re BOC, but... "I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell."

I think the favourites tag is fair enough, but those odds suggest a gap between the teams that's a bit much IMO.

Poor.  Lost pace and run.   But Parks for Williamson is a plus.   FIIK how casboult, Murphy and Setterfield survive after the past two weeks.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Parks for Williamson is hard to call. Betts and Silvagni bring a few tricks of their own, but even with that I still think overall the team is weaker with those changes.

I'm with the Professory on his comments.

Our senior coach speaks of people earning their places in the side / to wear the Navy Blue, yet those 3 get to front up again - if the word around PP is accurate.

McDonald for Casboult and Kennedy for Setterfield for mine. Murphy last chance.

Sometimes the talk of 'fast' can be deceiving. There are blokes who might not cover the grass quickly but make up for it with quick and smart decision making. And FFS give Ed a lockdown role, his turnovers are just too costly.

Huge game early in the season in my opinion. Have 2 winnable games then 2 games against top 4 teams so just have to bank the next 2.
Wont be easy but if we are the team on the rise we all think we are must account for them tomorrow on our home deck.
There was excuses in the first 2 rounds. There is none this week.

If we are fair dinkum this game must be a turning point for us. I am not really interested in a one-off win however good. We need to sustain ongoing an intensive, pressure laden playing style to be considered anywhere near a side with a future of success.
Reality always wins in the end.
