    Let's just keep winning at both levels and do the double!
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

      Last time we played Collingwood was only 2 weeks ago where we won 105-73. And we will get back two of the three rested players from today. Exciting stuff.

        Thinking of getting down to this one. Might go along with my younger brother who is a Pies fan.

        Would be great to get into another VFL grand final at Etihad.

          So annoyed this has been scheduled for Saturday.. Why wouldn't it be Sunday so we got the full 7 day break? Plus I can't attend Saturday which is why I'm annoyed.

          Williamstown get an 8 day break going into there match Sunday but we get 6? What is the ridiculous reasoning behind that?

            Agree, crazy scheduling. I'm assuming it's so the highest ranked team - Casey - get the maximum rest time for the grand final.

                Strong VFL side.

                Hopefully the blokes on the outer are focused and leave nothing on the park.

                    Great that Travis is overseas and (a) not playing for them and (b) not risking injury if the contract is done.

                      Centre half forward his almost disppeared in the named team in order to fit in more midfield positions,
                      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        Or we don't have many forwards on the list?

                          He didn't qualify to play VFL finals, thanks to Moore getting injured and Cloke being recalled for the final AFL round he went over the limit I believe.

                            Time for some ambitious young players to force themselves into a Grand Final or for them individually, an AFL Prelim Final. I hope they come out possessed!

                              Will probably just watch it on TV today after recovering from our great night Will most likely go to the VFL GF if we make it.
