Over to you...

[Dave The Man]

I won't be going again as it WAY too far to Travel there and back.

Hope we win and glad to know there be a Video Replay of it:D

[eddiesmith]

I'm heading to the game this week, got a course in Bendigo during the day so perfect timing! Although not sure whether it will be a good game to go to or not, hopefully last week was a turning of the corner

[jackcass]

I'll be there, looking forward to it.

[Lazza]

I'll be there giving JW a taste of some of my fantastic Sri Lanka teas!!

[perthmagpie]

I'll be there too. Kinda on the way back to Yarrawonga from the MCG the night before. Hoping we have at least a dozen AFL listed players: lose Seedy, Young and maybe Maynard. Get back Broomy, maybe Armstrong and maybe Reid.

[perthmagpie]

Make that maybe ten listed players with Ramsay also injured... sheesh! Every year is like Groundhog Day.

10 AFL-listers, by my quick rough count...

[jackcass]

Still short on height across the squad aren't they.

Disappointed Reid hasn't returned.

Borthwick has obviously played his 3 games as the 23rd player, stiff to miss.

[John Wren]

young fella. the spell will be good for him. wills misses too.

Stiff to miss on form as well. Has played well.

Need Allan back in the side. Gault's presence probably lessens the need for him forward, so maybe he takes a tall like Lucey...

[roar]

Be nice to see Gault dominate this game.

[MagpieBat]

Be nice to see Gault dominate this game.

He'd want to.

And considering that Kolodjashnij looks like their only real recognised key defender, if one of Gault or Still can get off the chain, we're a real chance of winning this thing.

Actually, it will be interesting to see how they use Gault. Will it be primarily as a forward or will it be as the #1 ruck?

[RudeBoy]

I hope Kennedy and De Goey have great games and that Scharenberg gets through a full game unscathed.
