Most decorated two players
Playing their first game together... in R21
Says something
I think they both need to prove their worth.
We all know they have been magnificent performers in the past.
But this is about the future.
We are paying each of them more than the Prime Minister gets.
So we are entitled to be demanding and want to see something positive.
- Hanners has to show us his body can still stand up to the demands of AFL footy
- and Jack has to show us he still wants to play AFL and for US.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

I wonder whats up with Battle?
Started on the bench last week then it looked like he was playing a wing type role.
Named on the bench again this week, Newnes straight onto a back flank.
Before his injury, he was easily one of our biggest improvers this year.
I wonder if Ratts sees him differently to Richo?
I think Ratten was the one who pushed for him to play back. He needs a huge pre season working on his agility, will be the only thing that stops him from becoming our version of a McGovern, Rance or Sicily.
Four-time Trevor Barker Award winner Jack Steven and triple All Australian Dan Hannebery headline the ins, with Blake Acres, Jack Newnes and Ben Paton also set to return.
Jade Gresham (eye socket) and rookie Doulton Langlands (groin) will miss through injury.
Veteran defender Nathan Brown has been omitted in preference of a smaller backline given Fremantle’s depleted key forward stocks.
Mature-age recruit Matthew Parker and backman Daniel McKenzie have also been withdrawn from Sunday’s contest.
So 3-year contract man McKenzie played so badly vs the Crows that he is below Rice and Rowe in the pecking order now and not even listed as an emergency!
its time to make a name for yourself like you've never made before!

EMERGENCIES
22 Nathan Brown
34 Matthew Parker
37 Bailey Rice
47 Sam Rowe
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
But, noting old habits which sometimes got in the way, prior to the start of the season I penned my ultimate side come the conclusion of 2019, as follows:-
Battle Clavarion (speculative) Coffield
Clark Carlisle Roberton
Hanneberry Acres Billings
Gresham McCartin Long
Membrey Bruce Lonie (speculative)
Marshall Steele Steven
Dunstan Bytel King Ross
It has taken all season, but absent 5 players injured and Clavarion who is still developing following an early season injury, we have who we have on the Park.
Of the 6 replacements, Wilkie as a like for like for Roberton, Paton who shows something and Sinclair needing consistency in impact have impressed at least at times whilst I would not consider Hind, Newnes or Savage for a variety of reasons.
But interesting the way the season is panning out, particularly if we can jag some wins over the next 3 weeks with this side - and which would be the expectation from here quite frankly.
I don't know if it's the right thing to bring back two underdone players in the same week for the same match, especially with Big Jake also showing the effects of missing a pre-season and conditioning, to be honest.
I think we'll win and win well, but I have my reservations about bringing them both back on Sunday.

If either or both are on reduced minutes I'll up chuck in my overpriced beer!
