We won’t interrupt Jimmy Aish, he’s currently occuPied. Time to Restump Podcast preview our ridiculously anticipated semi final against the Maggies at the Gee! What an opportunity and experience awaits us! 90k plus people, predominantly Pie fans, are about to cram into Australia’s Colosseum to create both an electrifying atmosphere and the most hostile of environments. Its one thing to be playing a semi-final. But to be playing a semi-final at the MCG against Collingwood…. some Danny Zuko vibes... I've got chills, they're multiplying! If you’re not in possession of a bucket of nerves, a bag of apprehension and a boat load of excitement, check your pulse because you may not be alive.After the monumental comeback against the Dogs, we’re going in with an unchanged line up. Only 4 of our starting 22 have previously experienced something of this magnitude, so the remaining 18 are sailing into unchartered waters and are about to suffer a monstrous culture shock.You have to feel for Matty Tabs. It had to be a difficult decision to leave him out and we’ll find out if it was the correct one. Can James “Mr Fix It” Aish fix up a few of his former colleagues and will Mr September Sonny Walters continue asserting his supremacy? After steering the ship last week Andy Brayshaw and Caleb Serong have to pad up and head back into battle against Scotty Pendlebury, Jordan De Goey and Jack Crisp with the help from the Gold Coast gift.But don’t for one minute overlook the man who has played in every single final Fremantle has ever been in, except one. The legend who doesn’t know how to play a poor game, who has plenty left to give… the peerless David Mundy. Upping his game time will no doubt ensure us victory.Collingwood lose Taylor Adams who ripped his groin off the bone, something I can’t even say without wincing. Not only his groin but Collingwood’s team have been weakened by it.Remove the parochial noise and you’ll see the teams are extremely evenly matched. Could the ultra-hostile environment the Collingwood fans will create and our inexperience be the difference? Neither team will lay down and until that final siren sounds, neither team will be safe. Enough of this here…. let’s continue the purple love in the pod as we try to dissect the battle and attempt to work out what might unfold.So, if you’re looking for someone to provide a calming presence and some words of composure to ensure we don’t all run our race prior to Saturday….. you’ve come to the wrong place! We’re buzzed up and in danger of our purple hype filled zip lock bags spilling over!But click play anyway and join us on our rare journey to the Gee in September. We ride til we've died.Send us a textSupport the show
