    Hopefully, the law of averages will be on our side this time.
    And until this year they had never beaten us at the SCG........

      pretty happy with no changes (so far) we showed plenty of pace last week so hopefully it will be a good game!

        We haven't played at Subi during the day since 2004 when Barry Hall threw the phone away after being dragged.

          4 ins to the reserves team last week Smith, Currie, Johnston and Meredith and at this stage no outs.

          No Bird or Barlow though.
          I thought I'd read somewhere that Johnston's hip injury was season ending.

              They'll probably leave at 3/4 time and be on the 16:30 Perth-Canberra direct flight Sat afternoon.

                I swear that's what he said at the half time interview with Byron Cooke. The audio wasn't that flash though so possibly I misheard

                  I definately heard the bit that his season was over as well ugg

                  I missed why, but he did say season over.

                    Yeah he definitely said his hip injury was season ending at half time.

                        Certainly did. Lockett kicked his 100th of the season and 1000th of his career that day.

                          No such beast as the law of averages! It is the law of probability.

                            Quite correct. Sorry, I was a lazy little toad and never actually bothered checking my facts!

                                No biggie. I remember it so well because I drove to Adelaide the week before to see us get hammered by 90 points in Rd 1. Took all week to drive back sightseeing with the wife and kids.

                                Arrived home late on Sat night, just in time to get to the Freo game. I was thinking after the game, why did I bother.

                                How the season turned after that !!!
