Last year I bought a cheap seat on the day, above the Brisbane cheer squad where there was naturally a good atmosphere.
I admired a rebuilt team with a decent spine playing good football.
It wasn't Fremantle.
Why can't we play like that? I wondered. On that day Lachie was good but had no-one to kick to.
Today, we all know full well why we can't play like that and it's not about players. So why go?
Well, this season's cheap seats may be slightly less cheap and a little to one side, but they're still good value and available on the day, the baked potatoes are good, and I want to see how Lachie fits into a working midfield.
There will be no booing from me, rather reminiscing over what might have been.
As ever, I hope to be proved wrong.
