Our final pre-season Space was as challenging as last year’s trade period, as we dealt with Elon and the Twitter gremlins that were out in force.

But we managed to get through it all and covered a fair bit in the lead-up to our opening game against the Bombers.

In this week’s Wednesday Safe Space we discussed:

* The opening round against the Bombers and gave our predictions;

* Brad’s predicted 23 for the game;

* Sliding Doors - and NOT the Gwyneth version;

* 1983 revisited;

* Peter Crimmins Medal predictions;

* The racism review;

* And much more.

With Thursday night footy back for the next five weeks we will be making the short-term switch to Wednesdays!
