From the previous encounter they'll add some handy extra run that was missing last time in Prestia and Vlaustin - plus Edwards who played last time but had missed 6 weeks with injury and played less game time than he usually does.
Amongst our big outs will be Walters who dominated with 38 possessions, Blakely (25 possessions) and Neale (23 possessions) and of course, Sandilands - but we do get S. Hill back who missed against Richmond in Round 8.
Hopeful we'll be competitive for 4 quarters but the changes in midfield battle seems stacked against us. Fyfe, Mundy and the Hill brothers all have to be at their best and the youngsters will really have to play blinders - Weller, Ryan and Hughes off the backline and Bennell, Crozier and old Ballantyne up forward to spark.
We're definitely underdogs at home despite it being late in the year where a long away trip before finals for the opposition might seem a bit arduous. Best case scenario is Richmond have a bad trip and don't turn up like we didn't turn up last week against Sydney.

DP out for HB?! - I'll take that trade any day.

If they lasted longer than the moment you walk into the new stadium for the first game next season I'd be very surprised. "Subi who?"

I'm not even in Perth anymore and can't wait to see the back of Subiaco.
I'm taking my young bloke this weekend.
First game I've been to all year.
Cannot wait

I'm very excited for this one as this will be the first time I ever get to see a Freo home game as I fly out to Perth late Friday night and then back home on the red-eye Sunday night. My thinking was that I had to see at least one game at Domain before I no longer could and the best part was that literally 20 minutes after I booked everything I found out Harley was making his Freo debut.
Properly keen for this!

Good to be able to hold on to how shit the stadium is
This seems to be the most common thing I've read over the years regarding Subiaco
Still it'll be a nice change from The Gabba where I'm a member which, as a stadium, is aggressively 'meh'.
If you've gone to Subi most of your life you'd kill for "meh" lolThis seems to be the most common thing I've read over the years regarding Subiaco

I used to love Subiaco till I moved over east and the MCG became my home ground. I'll be sad that it's the last game there because of all the memories, but it really is quite the shithole.
Good riddance to Subi. Such a piece of junk.
I used to work as ground staff there, so have many memories. I mainly worked on the members wing in blocks 128-129.
Was funny back in the day how many people would ask how to get to the other side (block 108-ish) to get to the TAB. I'd always answer that the best way was to go out of the ground, get a pass-out and re-enter through gate 26 (I think). Pretty funny when you think about the accessibility of modern stadiums.
I was fortunate enough to get a tour of the new stadium a couple of weeks ago. It surpassed my high expectations. We are in for a treat next season!

I'm with you 100% XXRL !
Harley Bennell's comeback game after prolonged rehab will be a great event at a stadium past its use by Last century.
Not an iota of nostalgia associated with the dump's demise.
I'll remember the games,incidents,characters,great wins and farewells and that they all occurred in a shithole.
The playing surface itself was probably the sole redeeming feature although they all have their issues.
People say such and such an event will always have been at domain and I say yes what a bloody disgrace.
Billy Walker room has some fond memories but as I say overall just nuke the joint.

Because of the MCC & AFL members areas at the MCG you have to exit the ground to get to the other side there too.
Is it time to get excited yet???

Crikey I hope we win , I have $100.00 at stake with a Richmond supporter , we doubled or nothinged the first game. He was laughing at how crap we were against the Swans , but I have been telling him we were just saving ourselves for the Tigers.
I reckon I have him convinced.

If we were full strength I reckon we can take them...unfortunately we will be some way from that.
Neale
Walters
Blakely
Sandi
Langdon
Mundy?
TBH, if Tigers are serious about this year you need to be handing over that $100.

Not sure... probably... but they did say they would like Neale to play against Essendon and then go for surgury. If it were me he'd be under the knife tonight.
