No late changes.

Medical Substitutes:
West Coast Eagles - Jake Waterman

Sydney Swans - Josh Kennedy

[Ludwig]

So Josh is the medi sub. I'm so surprised they went with my suggestion.

You're the Horse whisperer Ludwig. Let's hope our mob take it to them tonight.

Watch Luddy back Kennedy back in when he has 32 disposals and forced to play inside mid one week or two

Hard to stop a champion eating away and being a starter again

Kennedy is a champ and don't be surprised to see him rating inside mid later in the season once we have our mid rotation ready and biting hard and truly approaching the finals properly this season

Watching on Fox. Pregame, Ladhams went up to TMac and they gave each other a gee up (good body language). Corey Warner looked to be praying for a whole (head down, hands clasped) and not responding to a few players coming to to give him a pre game hug/hair rustle/tap on the but/hip.

As Riewoldt said - McDonald was sucking in some big breaths and looked nervous. Hopefully he marks and kicks a goal early which would help him a lot.

I noticed Warner and at first I thought gee he looks really nervous but then realised he was praying after he did the cross.

Just tryna get Kennedy's game count up so he can hit the 300 before he retires at the end of the year

[longmile]

McLean starting in the ruck?

[Faunac8]

Liking the energy from Ronke and Paddy at the moment

[stevoswan]

Go Hayden....nice start.

[i'm-uninformed2]

That’s why McLean gets a game for now. He works hard to be a target, take a pack mark, and kick true.

[Mel_C]

Yay finally we kick a goal. We've had all the play so far but haven't been able to score. I'm liking the intensity early which we've lacked the last 2 weeks.

[longmile]

Return of the ... Ronke?

Some old forum whipping boys doing ok so far
