Just hours until the Saints on Sunday! We’re as nervous as a hot air balloonist in the US. Good nerves though. Time to Restump Podcast the 2023 feasibility of the Freo plan.

The real stuff is almost here and we’re beside ourselves. There is just something about this upcoming year that has us up and about with more anticipation than usual.  

Holistically speaking, are we in the best shape we’ve been in for the start of a season? While there is the odd injury, few seem serious and there aren’t too many that wont be pushing for round one.

Is Luke Ryan going to get up and join his mate Brennan in that formidable defensive duo against the Ross Lyon Saints? Can the sum of parts equal the whole?

It appears the hard working and opportunity grabbing Ethan Hughes, or apparently Dethen Hucker if you're seeing the images used in the press, has cemented a spot on the wing for round one.

There is a bit of a grapevine chatter that the great Sonny Walters may don the sub vest? We’re not sure what to make of that… it doesn’t quite sit well.

What are the odds? I mean odds aren’t only for gamblers. They’re opinionated indicators for potential performance. They’re simply the result of often educated or informed research expressed as percentages of which we can learn a lot from without having to part with a single peso.  

Including the outside thoughts or the movements of the satchel swingers in the conversation simply assists in covering the assessment angles. 

So in this calm before the purple storm episode we take a look at what the number runners are suggesting. 

We’re five days from bounce down and we can’t shut up. So if you’re looking for some soothing silence in which to relax… you’ve come to the wrong place. So as you're here, you may as well get your purple ears front and centre and jostling for position early with this hour of new season week nonsense.
