It’s a battle with the Bombers so we’re russian Serong back in, while Alex Pearce is in charge of enforcing a No Fly Zone in Peter Wright air space! Time to Restump Podcast Easter Sunday’s clash.

We needed to make hay while the sun shone on our favorable first five round draw. Win Sunday in round five and our four wins and one loss will be our best start to a season since 2015 when we won the first nine straight. 

Concerningly our record against Essendon at Marvel isn’t flash… and that is being kind. Fourteen times we’ve played the Bombers at the venue with the roof and we’re stuck on the single victory. Our last seven against them at all grounds we’re again stuck on the single win…. that said, five of them have been under the roof!  

So, it is safe to say we’re in desperate need of a trend changing win over the Bombers at the Marvel Tomb on Easter Sunday and this is as good a chance as we’re likely to get. 

Serong, Pearce and Banfield come in while Logue has to be desperately unlucky to get dropped and, disappointingly, Erasmus didn’t get a 3rd consecutive game after not really putting a foot wrong. 

Coach JL made his way back in, unfortunately passing the Covid baton to Shultzy. However, we suspect the virus may come off second best in that battle!

Easter holidays are upon us and a lot of families are on the road travelling. So, bung this half an hour of purple palaver on, turn it up and drown out the racket of the arguing kids in the back seat! 

Word of warning to those behind the wheel though… we have been known to put people to sleep!

Happy Easter to you all who have ever donated a minute of your valuable time to listen to our nonsense. We’re eternally grateful… yet bewildered. Carn Freo!
