Oxley was the only travelling emergency apparently.

On my way up this morning. Hopefully we kick accurately and take our chances. It's a 50/50 game and one that we need to win if we want to play finals.
Go Pies!!!!

Excited that we have real footy back. No more chopsticks, nudie pics and former footballers fornications.

Good chance tonight against an average looking backline for the swans.

Cheers

That's cool. You want more?

Having a coffee in God's Own Country um The Shire and getting ready to enjoy a day in Sydney before heading to the SCG. Nice and sunny, humidity is up and at the moment I reckon this will be a close game. If we win the close ones this year we are in the finals.

Excited and nervous - the footy must be back

[CarringbushCigar]

Good luck to us all.
This is certainly a huge year for Buck's and the Boys.
For some reason we are still rated only about the 8th or 9th best side.
A commanding victory tonight will propel us up the pecking order.

Hutchy and the CarringbushCigar believe we are living certainties tonight.
Dr Turf also thinks we should be solid favourites here yet we are easing in the betting towards a 6/4 outsider.

Don't forget to join in the game day chat as we roll to a 33 point win.
Swanny to snag 5.

Reckon we get up to Stick it up the Media

Rewatched the NAB3 Doggies game last night. Gee Treloar's second half was good. Pendles offloaded a couple of quick in close handballs (the sort that usually go tits up and down the other end for a goal) to Treloar on the run. I noticed it on the day, but it was more exciting second time around. I think our guys will seek out Treloar for his burst speed and silky delivery.

I am excited.

Bit worried about that defence, it looks a little on the short side. I'm hoping one of those emergencies will come in for Sinclair. Other than that, no real surprises, it was always going to be a flip of the coin over a couple of selections. Not as confident as others in expecting a win tonight but we'll go close.

Based on my Twitter feed Richmond are paving the way for announcing a seconds team on Friday.
