The one Jyed Freo supporting Busselton folk are coming! This is a game they would Nev  Amiss. Time to Restump Podcast Friday night’s ‘marquee’ game against the Roos. 

When you hear covid hit and six of your players are out… you immediately do the Sean Darcy umpire remonstrating disguising hands to your head move! But then you realise Chappy, Young and Darcy are three of the ins, you hear Jye Amiss’ name confirmed and Liam Henry is back for another crack at it! Suddenly the blood pressure returns to its optimal range and you’re in ‘no worries’ territory.

Six changes to a team would usually see a team’s chances lessen and their odds blow out. The bookies see little to no problem for us as they have Freo at $1.08 to beat North Melbourne.

8% return on investment in 80 minutes…. easier earn than on the end of a shovel! No that isn’t investment advice and remember here at the Restump we always gamble irresponsibly, so don’t follow us!

Sammy Sturt, while a chance at still being called up, was a notable omission and with Connor Blakely missing a berth you’d have to think the chances of seeing him in purple again are getting slimmer by the day. 

With North’s tall defence, consisting of the likes of Aiden Corr 195cm, Josh Walker 197cm, Ben McKay 201cm, could this be a night out in more ways than one for Lachie Schultz, Sammy Switkowski and Sonny Walters?

It seems it’s a game we should just be banking the four points from and moving on from. But when you get ahead of yourself and allow complacency to creep in…. strange things occur. No doubt JL has that covered! 

The West Coast Eagles are in a bit of strife so we give them a bit of a lift and a pump up in the Neighbourhood Watch segment and the chatter about Luke Jackson is getting louder.

All that and shedloads more for those who don’t have high standards on their listening content. God help us if anyone raises the bar on the quality of what they wish to listen to! 

But until you do, click play, head in with low expectations and we’ll do our best to meet them.
