Dees should be fired up also, why wouldn't they be?

We never win the games we're supposed to

Exactly. We usually play particularly awful in those sort of matches.

Brayshaw tweeted that he reckons he'll be fine for next week  :D

On Jack Trengove;

I was talking to a close family member of Jack's yesterday. She told me that he is fighting fit, has put his heart and soul into rehab and whilst he might be ready to come back before the season's end, he will definitely be ready to go round one 2016.

She also said Jack desperately wants to be a one team player and bleeds red and blue. He has a lovely girlfriend in Melbourne so hopefully will not be going anywhere except with us. She said he is pedantic about his diet, exercise, rehab and is in the right head space to make a fantastic come back round one 2016.

I've kind of wanted it for a while now but I think it's time

Get Harmes out there!

[Purple 77]

GO HARMSEY!

And fantastic to hear about Trenners, he's always had a place in my heart

Vandenberg!

Surprisingly an important player for us.

[Big Mac]

Frost out to 5 weeks is disappointing

We might not get to see him again this year  :(

[Barra13]

I'm curious as to what your best 22 would look like? We have seen a lot of different players this year. So without any injuries, who would have take to the field this weekend? It is actually harder than you think...

I came up with;

B: Neville Jetta, Tom McDonald, Colin Garland
HB: Daniel Cross, Lynden Dunn, Heritier Lumumba
C: Dom Tyson, Jack Viney, Jack Watts
HF: Jeff Garlett, Cam Pedersen, Dean Kent
F: Jeremy Howe, Jesse Hogan, Jay Kennedy-Harris,
FOLL: Max Gawn, Bernie Vince, Nathan Jones
I/C: Angus Brayshaw, Christian Salem, Jack Trengove, Aaron vandenBerg
EMG: Jack Grimes, Sam Frost, Christian Petracca

I really couldn't split Pedersen and Dawes. I like Grimes and Frost, but are stiff to miss. Petracca could be in there but I haven't seen him yet.

Would love Garlett, Kent and JKH buzzing around the forward line.

[Big Mac]

I think you've nailed it to be honest

Trengove is named twice though - perhaps Petracca should be emergency?

I like Pedersen over Dawes, he can cover Gawn in the ruck which is very important

[Barra13]

Fixed. Yeah I did have Frost in there to help out, but I just couldn't fit him in.

[Purple 77]

I actually made my best 22 about 2 weeks ago lol
