Cars Better Coaches

Players coming and going and now Jamie Graham steps in for JL. Did we just miss an opportunity to be double parked in the coaches box for a Derby? Time to Restump Preview Podcast Derby day… if we can call it a preview! This current AFL climate is making it near on impossible to preview games in WA with any degree of conviction. There’s a lot of guess work and while Ross won’t, we momentarily have to deal in hypotheticals. It all adds up to poor podcast connectivity and disposal inefficiency.With Justin Longmuir out under covid protocols, it was an interesting decision to promote Jamie Graham to the role of top dog. Wouldn't a true Fremantle man who has been there, done that and destroyed some of the Eagle greats, be the man to take the reins in a Derby? Matty Taberner is going to struggle, Mundy is out for another week, Sean Darcy is walking laps, Serong has a knee niggle, Sonny Walters has a hand issue… we could be neck deep in the Mulligatawny! On the plus side, Brennan Cox looks likely to return and Josh Treacy is coming up from an ankle issue nicely.Who knows what the teams will look like as there is a lot of time between now and Sunday! However, if Andy Gaff’s name pops up on the West Coast Eagle ins, could there be a late change on Freo’s list and we see the inclusion of Hamish Brayshaw? We wish the Docker Girls, who are in a prelim final this weekend, all the very best, but we do so without the use of a whiteboard and horrendously poor handwriting!We cannot afford to go 1 and 2 after 3 games this Sunday. It’s simply a must win, regardless of who is and who isn’t out there. Last week’s debacle demands a monumental response, which includes retrieving the 4 points. We’re all doing it tough at the minute but if you want some more character building purple pain to push through, click play and put this adversity in your ears.  Send us Fan MailSupport the show
