Stamford all got good mentions but you're quite right it's a hard call when you have to say to someone look you haven't made it Simply because someone else has come in so they might have a fraction easier Did you guys have to do that last year? You drop a guy that had been in the prelim final second semi-final two weeks beforehand No, no, we had a couple of younger guys that were emergencies that missed out But nothing I guess is tragic as the Derek Kickett Invested in that year. So I think you know, those are the sort of things you don't like to see around grand final time It's good that both teams would be able to fit their best 21 players in without having to drop anyone Well, let's take a look at the other side of the coin that's st. Kilda now They've they've had a few losses as well And I tell you old spider was out there trying his heart out last night But I know he was no chance but he certainly lifted the spirits of the other players to see him out there at training at Moraband Well, that's because he's absolutely critical to that side and Ruzzi just having a look at the side and ticket is the crows I've got the three big tools in there. They may be one tall short to match up against those bigger guys of the pros He certainly looks that way with Shanahan and Wakeland. Wakeland's done a terrific job of late But the young fellow on the halfback line Horton is not a tall play He's only about six foot one So like that could be a trump card for the Adelaide Crows throwing those guys I guess pending the weather I mean if the weather goes the other way as they're expecting a little bit of rain tomorrow Maybe it will backfire on the Crows Well Paul, let's go a little further down the track and that's to see what the Crows will be doing After Saturday night and of course Sunday whether it's celebrating or commiserating as we go to Stephen Trigg the Crows media Relations legend I could nearly say former Central District captain Then you squeezed a few dollars Triggie out of North when you were going half rat power And then you managed to get a coaching job at Sturt, but you do have a good job now What other boys going to do win lose or draw Saturday and Sunday? Thank You uncle Scrooge. They will go to To the Melbourne Convention Center for a dinner tomorrow night They'll then head back on Sunday morning into town and but one of the messages Kim while we've got a chances We just like to say to the fans I know that they'd love to come out and greet the players at the airport It's going to be a bit of a crush and we'd love to see you at Wavell from about 11 a.m The players will be there at once if you can just wait that little bit longer be great Stephen should the club get past first pass the post tomorrow. What are the plans for the the Premiership Cup? We've got a couple of bodyguards Tony who will cover it around and and just look over it for the night but I suspect there'll be a few other people who want to have a Sip out of it and we'll just want to keep a half an eye on it But I have to confess to you that one of the things that we've been talking about during the week is if you start talking About the outcome before we get to the game you get a kick up the backside So that's all I can say about that Triggy. Yeah, I know you've been very busy Thanks for popping in and thanks for your support throughout the year and that hurt to say that and John Thank you very much and good luck for tomorrow and that didn't hurt saying that we'll be back with the final break after this break Another minister resigns and staff are sacked over the travel watch affair and the grand final on parade Melbourne goes mad for the Saints while Adelaide takes to the road Adelaide's leading hour of news and coward affairs tonight from 6 o'clock on 9 You can't wait to bite a Balfus Billy Joel John they're the two biggest solo artists in music history For the event of a lifetime Billy Joel and Elton John Face-to-face two superstars in a state-of-the-art presentation for one show only and later over Wednesday March 18 tickets on sale Monday September 29 Guilty or not guilty for selling top quality pain relief tablets at low low prices this winter Guilty for selling those same pain relief tablets for an extra 20% off to mutual community members Guilty quality pharmacy only products from your local guild pharmacy This Saturday come to the Cheltenham race course and see the cries played live in the grand final on the amazing Clip so vision super screen.
