Give it a year or two.
Andy D would never allow it, Gillon is much more open to it me thinks.

Little off topic but.. I know religion was really big back in the day and most people seemed to go to church or follow a religion.. I would be real interested to see how many these days do though - seems to be declining or rather less emphasis on it?

Yep the Jase family go regularly... will be going along Friday and Sunday this week...

To be honest don't really care if they put the footy on Friday evening, but not sure why everyone gets up in arms on it not being on Good Friday... There is a Thursday night practice match for Richmond that people can tune in for..

Meh bigger issues in life I reckon...

That same argument can be used for why it should be on good friday too.

Nobody is forcing the spectators to go either - Good Friday is supposed to be about quiet family time, so I guess you are free to make that choice.

The players wouldn't have a problem either unless the Gold Coast plays :D

I agree. We are saving our "what the absolute ****??1?" performance for Essendon :? :?

Maric more than likely to miss with a back injury. Hampton likely to be number one ruckman

I am making the hike to the Gold Coast this week, looking forward to watching a few kids in action and hopefully Walla gets upgraded and plays. Give us close to zero chance of winning but don't think the margin will be as big as some are predicting. The Suns have lost Dixon and Bennell elsewhere and Swallow and O'Meara missing through injury.
Throw in Prestia and Gaz not anywhere near 100% and that's a fair bit of quality missing although Gaz at 70% is better than most players in the comp. I'm sure Crowley will test out any niggles he has though[emoji1]

Gaz at 70% could beat you on his own.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

But hard for him to beat us when Crowley is kicking and kneeing the crap out of him behind play all game, that should keep him under 30 touches[emoji1]
