Is Budweiser than we think? Freddy said, yes you better beerlieve it. Acres returns and Chappy is back. Time to Restump Podcast what’ll hopefully be our 4th win from 4 games against the Swans at Optus.

Given we’re currently sitting a win clear in third heading towards September, we’ve got Acres and Chappy back in the team, the Disco is back up and about and Switta has recommenced running... are we getting ahead of ourselves if we suggest everything is coming up Millhouse? 

We’re getting as close to having our best twenty-two fit and available as we’re ever likely to get so it does feel like we’re getting a bit falling favorably for us at the moment. 

Currently twelve wins, we probably need at least fifteen to secure a top four finish. With Richmond, Melbourne, Bulldogs, Eagles and Giants to come we need to make Sydney one of those three wins this Saturday night, especially as this is one of our only three remaining home games.

Speaking of the Buddy Swans, they’ve been a little bit erratic this year. They probably haven’t been the steadfast Swans we come to expect but they have a dangerous list and can produce on their day.

However, they were recently beaten by Port Adelaide and Essendon , yet they beat Melbourne, St Kilda and the Dogs so they’ve made it tricky to get a handle on the form.

We have won all three games against Sydney at Optus Stadium, but apart from one of them by 5 goals, the remaining two games we won by 2 points and 1 point respectively.  

Worryingly it does appear rain is forecast for Saturday. We don’t want to have flash-flood-backs back to the Gold Coast and Collingwood games but… its difficult not to have a few little nerves. However, let’s stay positive, they’ll don the flippers and snorkel if need be, if it means getting hold of the four points. 

We wander into the North Melbourne fiasco and Wayne Carey’s nonsensical suggestion that Ross Lyon is the prime candidate. We have a chat about Buddy attempting to use Freo to beef up his contract again. Trav Colyer and Sammy Switkowski get one year extensions and its difficult not to think Rory Lobb is out and Luke Jackson is in next year. 

It could be big day Saturday so get plenty of sleep between now and then so you’re tip top to fight the elements. And the best way to get some deep sleep…. click play on our 45 minutes of docker drivel… we’ve been known to cure insomnia!
