No 23 for Saints tonight……..:(
Going to be a game of misrepresentations.
No Kelly for Ridley, no Stringer or Shiel in Dons MID mix, no Ryder with RoMo.

Windhanger ??? Greatest name since Steele Sidebottom !!
Sorry to burst the bubble but it’s actually Windhager… 🙁
Baldwin starts game and kicks a goal early.
Where are you watching the game ? Can’t see it on Fox.
Only Freo getting flogged in AFLW.
Watching on Fox 504.

Caldwell has looked great, however no Shiel or Stringer.
Parish playing up FWD 2nd half and Zerrett not playing at all in the 2nd Half. Hard to tell what his CBA load will look like…
Nick Martin looked good for Bombers too, surely gets a crack early in the season.
If Paddy Ryder wasn’t a thing, I’d be starting RoMo no questions.
I’m actually still thinking about starting ROMO but I have had a bit of a man crush on him for years
Caldwell suddenly making decisions more difficult.
Surely gets squeezed out of rotations with Parish, Merrett, Shiel and possibly McGrath/Stringer getting main minutes.
After Stringers dominant 2021, there’s no way you don’t give Jake the same CBA load and then let him drift forward.
Too many cooks in the kitchen with that Bombers midfield.
Berry still my choice @that price.
Agree.
Berry cemented into the Lions midfields
