We’re the Western Wounded Walkers but nothing renews enthusiasm like a couple of draftee debuts. It’s the Restump preview podcast of Saturday’s Gold Coast clash.

The only people missing from the interchange scene last Sunday was Hawkeye Pierce and BJ Hunnicut. It wasn’t pretty as makeshift medical station real estate was at a premium. 

A host of changes for this Saturday sees the great Alex Pearce gets another run at it and all Fremantle fan’s fingers are crossed. The Conca Truck finally returns after a confusing stint in the WAFL, the forgotten man Bewley has since been remembered with a call up and the double double-U debutants Western and Walker get their first taste.

We’ve won 7 of 11 games against the Sunny Gold Coast crew and 3 of 4 contests in WA but this will be one of the tougher challenges. However, they may be the Gold Coast Suns but we’ve got our own Son, of the Walters variety. 

The Cerra chatter is getting a bit overdone, Luke Ryan somehow thinks we can still make the finals, we look at the rebuild ladder and the prospect of Ross Lyon coaching the Pies would really help us out at the Restump.  

The Chief has sounded the alarm and put Alex Sexton on the must watch list while Jojo McDonnell is giving away a couple of tickers to Sunday’s game in the most ridiculous of manners.

We might be a bit under the pump but where there is football life there is football hope. Its time to reignite the enthusiasm, trust the process and enjoy whatever the now brings.

There’s forty plus minutes of Docker declamation right here. Sure, you’re little to no chance of being smarter for listening but can you afford to take that risk? Click play anyway and get ready for the Gold Coast roast.
