Isolated thunderstorms, hail and scattered showers are forecasted for Saturday, all to clear by early afternoon.

Should move the game to Etihad and close the roof. Freo doesnt get the crowd numbers so it makes sense 8)

Surprised the AFL didn't just declare Sydney the winners of the prelim because of a concern over ticket sales

I remember the prelim at Waverley when Stynes ran across the mark and gave away a 15m penalty after which Buckenara duly slotted home the winner.

The wind changed and we kicked INTO it for 3 of the 4 quarters.

The windy Gods owe us one and so expect the wind direction to flip around at 3 quarter time giving us 3 with and 1 against it.

Destiny beckons - Go Hawks.

Simpkin in for Whitey.

Me too but I guess Simpkin is a more like-for-like replacement.

Not bad for Simpkin... Delisted by the Cats to playing in the Hawks Grand Final (and possibly Premiership) team.

Savage/Anderson the 'hard-luck stories'?

Yeah I think it's clear the replacement was always going to be the sub. Simpkin has done very well in that role this year and has just performed in a big granny in the VFL so deserves his spot. Savage stiff, was in great form in the middle of the year and was BOG one week, had a couple quiet ones after though and he pays the price.

Would have loved to have seen Anderson in, he will be an absolute star but I can kind of understand him being left out for the more experienced bloke.

Got Simpkin through free agency not a delistment if my memory serves me correctly

You're both right. Technically he was a "delisted free agent".
