5 hour flight to Wagga then an 1+ hour bus trip to the ground.

Good work AFL you incompetent ****sticks

Also points out that there's a 17 day gap between our last practice match and round 1 opener which he believes is longer than they'd like. When you consider we play on the Sunday in round 1 it's kinda nonsensical that we finish our preseason amongst the first

I swear the AFL get a drunk monkey to do their fixturing
 
we should just request to send east perth over there. Adelaide is fair enough and even playing is a better option but realistically we shouldnt be travelling at all.
 
So if we rest the old and injured, a potential 26 for the first game could be

FB: Rotham Barrass Cole
HB: Nelson Mackenzie Watson
C: Yeo Redden Karpany
HF: Hill McInnes Cripps
FF: Rioli Allen Petrie

R: Giles Sheed Hutchings

I: Brophy Gorter Snadden Mutimer Partington Waterman Lamb Bayok

And then play the best available team for the final two games, managing workloads where it's needed.

I like it. How long til teams are officially announced. I'm going through afl withdrawals.
 
I don't think either Brophy or Bayok will play in the JLT series. Both are a shade underdone in terms of preparation and neither are a realistic chance of playing seniors

Venables, Lycett, Naitanui and Tunbridge all won't play obviously but the rest of the squad I think will get a shot at some stage

The AFL is pulling the piss with the preseason scratch matches, we should show the same contempt and send the East Perth reserves side to play in the series.
Sending a young side to bum**** NSW to play the Giants makes sense but the game in Geraldton and at the one at subi we need to play the seniors as part of their preparation for round 1
 
I'm not really with the angst about localities regarding pre season games...send the young ones over, see how they go.
Geraldton isn't difficult & get supporters there. Hate the Dockers, but a mindset of Anywhere, Anytime was a damn good slogan..
a lot better than our banner 2015 GF, 'The West is ours'....I still struggle with how that was relevant at the MCG. Time to Hunt always, anywhere maybe. Reckon we're in for a good shout this year.
 
As you can guess by my pointless speculation about the lineup for a preseason game, I've got withdrawals too.
4 weeks until our first game...

Never liked that slogan - and displaying it on GF day v Hawthorn was strange - almost like saying "yeah we beat the Dockers and that's all that matters" and we played like it.

I know the purpose of the slogan was not to say "we have more fans than Freo and we'll always be more well-respected by Western Australians", (though that's true), but it came across that way.

I think that's exactly what the purpose was.
 
But th women's league starts soon
Oh goody

We get to watch a bunch of amateurs run around whilst proclaiming they're playing at the elite level

I sorta took the slogan to mean "Look at this land, WA is huge and so is our supporter base. we're a big powerful and strong club, while you'resupporter base (from a Vic perspective) is as big as the CBD. You're weak, you're nothing to us". I took it as a veiled crack of arrogance at the eastern staters. It was just too well veiled and kinda shit.

Yeah pretty sure most people would have taken it as an anti-Freo thing

I guess this is my primary school teaching course rearing its head. Looked into it way too much.
